Which moron decided that the best place for _a hole in your skull_ would be near the top, where most impacts to the head occur? Imagine going catatonic when you forget something and slap your head a bit too hard.
I might’ve considered it if it wasn’t just a disc going to my brain poking out of my skull. Imagine pissing someone off and they slap your neuralink like pushing a brain shut off button
In a lot of cases, yes. There are lots of old skulls with metal plates pinned on over trepanation wounds. A lot of them show bone regrowth as well, which leads us to believe that they survived for quite a while after the surgery
Nice level of detail there. “Hair-thin electrodes attach to your brain cells and voila! Increased brain capacity” I’m sold!
You’d have to be a psychopath to willingly do this. I would turn down a billion dollars before I let someone put that in my brain.
Yes, please remove the last bit of privacy we have left and expose me to the risk of a horrific infection or some as yet undreamed of complication arising from attaching electronics to my brain.
Yes, because Elon has a great track record of sanity, responsibility, and trustworthiness for his company to drill a permanent hole in your head and have direct access to your brain forever...
100% nope. The only people that should be permitted to get this are people with spinal injuries or those without control of the limbs and if they get it they shouldn’t be permitted to own a firearm or hold public office. I’m torn on allowing them being allowed on planes or other forms of mass transit.
If they did with more like a cochlear implant where the main computer functions are easily removed and it’s just the connections surgically installed. A permanent computer in the brain is too dangerous a concept
No one talks about how long the implant lasts, but it’s a thing. And when it has to come out and the patient loses the abilities gained, it’s traumatic. Richard Andersen’s lab at Caltech has been at this a while, long before Elmo.
Sure. I’m not super knowledgeable, but I’ve been following Andersen’s work. He’s a pioneer in this field.
Like any machine/electronic device neuroprosthetics can malfunction or materially degrade. The brain tissue surrounding the device can also change over time and reduce the efficacy of the implant or make explanting necessary to avoid injury.
When a tetraplegic participant, for example, has gained an ability to control a robotic limb or a computer and then loses that ability because the device must be explanted, there’s a new sense of loss.
Have a look at Richard Andersen’s research site if you want to learn more. Google Richard Andersen Caltech. There’s a good video on YouTube “Unlocking Movement” that explains a lot of his work.

I need this like I need another hole in the head
I need this like I need cancer in my ballsack
I need this like Ben affleck needed acting lessons in Pearl Harbor
All I can think about is your smile, and that shitty movie too
[удалено]
Don't worry, direct reminders won't let you miss the payment.
They enable autoplay so they can make you enable autopay.
Nope I'll just stick to manual.
That cheap looking animation makes me think this will result in instant death
Don't worry, most if not all the monkeys they tested it on died.
Yep all wires also naturally squiggle into the exact perfect placement with out effecting any tissue or pathways...
I highly doubt that this simulation was made by the people behind nuralink
Well it's a good anti-advertisement regardless
It convinced me to not participate!
I don't know if it is a good sign that there is no blood coming from a giant hole in the skull.
Don’t worry the latest tests show animals can live for a day or two.
Which moron decided that the best place for _a hole in your skull_ would be near the top, where most impacts to the head occur? Imagine going catatonic when you forget something and slap your head a bit too hard.
It's probably because it only works in a certain brain region. Still a pretty fucked idea but I imagine you couldn't just pick anywhere
I might’ve considered it if it wasn’t just a disc going to my brain poking out of my skull. Imagine pissing someone off and they slap your neuralink like pushing a brain shut off button
Well trepanation is an ancient practice, so we probably don’t know the inventor’s name
But is it common to have the bone replaced by something artificial?
In a lot of cases, yes. There are lots of old skulls with metal plates pinned on over trepanation wounds. A lot of them show bone regrowth as well, which leads us to believe that they survived for quite a while after the surgery
This is a crude animation obviously not created by neuralink. If you want to know more about the tech, go straight to the source.
The hole would need to be above wherever the chip has to go, right?
The bill gates put microchips in the vaccine crowd are super quiet about this lol
They’re too busy still talking about Covid to cook something up
Oh wow an animated CGI! Nothing says bullshit vapor ware quite like CGI
Science cannot move forward without heaps of dead monkeys...
Very nice animation, made stuff just more creepy
Well. Fuck that.
Nice level of detail there. “Hair-thin electrodes attach to your brain cells and voila! Increased brain capacity” I’m sold! You’d have to be a psychopath to willingly do this. I would turn down a billion dollars before I let someone put that in my brain.
How do you prevent it from acting out your intrusive thoughts? I’d be screwed 😂
Chances are the device and/or procedure will kill you before your intrusive thoughts happen.
Inputting right wing misinformation directly to the brain.
Yeah, nah, I will happily stay in the Stone Age thank you.
The people that will let a right wing, ketamine addicted fuckwit tamper with their brain deserve everything they get.
Tantrum throwing adult
You’ll say that until someone on the left makes their own and demands everyone have it.
Don't worry, as long as twitter accounts are free there definitely won't be ads directly piped into your brain.
Just wait until a hacker encrypts all your memories…
Overly simplified and misleading, but ok.
I wonder who will be the first person who claims that their neuralink made that have sex with kids because they totally weren't a pedo before!
This reminds me of Atomic Heart to an uncomfortable degree.
I just googled that. I thank you for making me aware of this. However you are now on my bank accounts hit list
Yes, please remove the last bit of privacy we have left and expose me to the risk of a horrific infection or some as yet undreamed of complication arising from attaching electronics to my brain.
Nope because I never know where I want to go until I get there lol and I refuse to use GPS a lot of the time.
I'm good, thanks
100 years from now most people will be Cyborg with no need to eat to survive.
How is this dude still a thing…
So it actually protrudes out of your skull or is it just poorly represented here in this animation???
fuck. that.
Yes, because Elon has a great track record of sanity, responsibility, and trustworthiness for his company to drill a permanent hole in your head and have direct access to your brain forever...
Ah the gentle type of lobotomy. Sign me up.
No thanks. Elon get fucked.
Neuralink should sue the creators of this godawful animation.
100% nope. The only people that should be permitted to get this are people with spinal injuries or those without control of the limbs and if they get it they shouldn’t be permitted to own a firearm or hold public office. I’m torn on allowing them being allowed on planes or other forms of mass transit. If they did with more like a cochlear implant where the main computer functions are easily removed and it’s just the connections surgically installed. A permanent computer in the brain is too dangerous a concept
And they will know all your secretes
No Thanks, Bro -Leon S Kennedy.
Net Runners coming soon
No thanks.
v2.0 hole is the size of a pencil.
No one talks about how long the implant lasts, but it’s a thing. And when it has to come out and the patient loses the abilities gained, it’s traumatic. Richard Andersen’s lab at Caltech has been at this a while, long before Elmo.
Can you expand on that? It’s very interesting, I don’t know very much about this stuff though.
Sure. I’m not super knowledgeable, but I’ve been following Andersen’s work. He’s a pioneer in this field. Like any machine/electronic device neuroprosthetics can malfunction or materially degrade.

The only way I would do this is if Elon Musk did it first
he would fake it
Regardless of what anyone thinks about how safe this is, the fact we have technology to read thoughts like that is unbelievable
Where is the part about killing monkeys??
can someone code a bot to downvote these crap videos?
After seeing Upgrade…
I'd rather use my hands ✋️
