If Neuralink can prove its device is safe in humans, it would still potentially take more than a decade for the start-up to secure commercial use approval

        They were going to ask for volunteers from Musk’s legions of loyal fans, but then they realised the subjects needed to have brains.

          I just love the assumption that we have to have brain implants (why? Because L. Ron Musk said so?)

            I think it’s the sci-fi fantasy of it. Like being able to download knowledge like the matrix.

            In reality the real use of these is to help people with brain injuries or disabilities.

            Elno wants to grift people on the former. Literally everything he does is selling people the knock off wish version of something from a sci-fi movie/book/game.

              Musk aside, BCI will be a significant part of human lives in the distant future, they will initially aid existing tech but as the technology advances I can forsee a black mirror-esque future with our brains having a digital component.
