I'm not torn. You couldn't pay me enough to put something with Musk's name on it in my brain. (To be clear, I wouldn't get this anyway, but having him associated with it just seals the deal.)

I can see benefits to this kind of device, but also see how it's risky. But yes having him associated with this seals the NOPE side for me.

Nope, I won't have anything implanted into my brain.. too risky..

I'll wait and see what the side effects are.

Brain surgery is one of the more risky medical procedures out there that a human can endure. The nature of the mind is not fully understood and how the brain interacts with the mind. I would not willingly undergo brain surgery for something other than a disease.

Same... This sounds super risky and ill thought out........



But does it mean we will get data ports eventually like in Andromeda?

So far it seems to be just to help people with severe limb motor defects, I don't see the problem there, just potential benefits

Anything to do with Musk smells funny.

Again, if it is for a disease that's a different story.

If it is just to upgrade the human brain because...kicks and giggles? Hard pass.

I fear Neuralink may conflict with the vaccine nanobots.
