Musk wants a lot of things. Shrinking down an MRI machine into a chip that can be implanted into someone’s skull to read their brainwaves is just going to be yet another thing that Musk wants but isn’t going to be feasible in our lifetimes.
Musk will say he wants something and the people around him will say it’s feasible so they don’t get fired. Then they will work on it because hey, it’s a paycheck. But come on, do you really think it’s feasible to have tech that will scan people’s brainwaves and transmit them somewhere else to the degree they can decipher anything about anyone’s thoughts?
It’s just Musk being Musk and selling investors on a sci-fi thing being possible “any day now!”
And does any of that rant change what I said? When (if, ya pedant) it comes out, the recorder dreams are going to be wild; and that musk is working towards that (or rather the people he pays,)
Remembers dreams are mostly random firings of synapses that the brain tries to make into a coherent form; it’s like looking at clouds and going “I see a bunny”.
Seriously. You might want to look at comments made by skeptics of the internet. They sounded an awful lot like you. Will neuralink be successful? Probably not. But they might be.
And it will be awful. (I wouldn’t trust musk et al with my shit never mind access to my brain.)
You mean the skeptics that said Hyperloop would never be a thing? Or the skeptics that said making a Starship that’ll be used for commercial airline travel won’t happen? Or the skeptics that said Elon Musk isn’t going to Mars anytime soon?
I think the skeptics have a much better track record than the Musk hype in the last half decade.
