Computer Chip implanted in human brain

Elon Musk of course


Elon Musk's Company Neuralink has implanted a wireless chip in a human's brain
the goal is for the person to control a computer of phone or possibly other things just by his thoughts

whoa________!!!________this is too, too much for me

makes me feel like tech is passing my by

Boy, do I agree.

Simply put, most of us do not trust people putting drugs in our brains (or bodies).

Can't imagine having someone potentially in total control of our thought processes.

I wonder what happens when someone implants a chip in his brain, only they have control of his thoughts and they have him sign over his entire fortune to them. On a serious side, this can get really, really ugly. I guess when I made that post about aliens abducting about 40 percent of the population and turning them into democrats, it wasn’t as far fetched as one might think. Sick world we live in.

Simple logic tells me that if a technology works from man to machine, the technology to go from machine to man is right around the corner. How can this end well?

Could this cip make Biden able to speak, walk?
Could it control what he cannot control and save us billions in diaper bills?

Is it already being used in mowtpost?
You can pretty much hear KJP channeling through him.

If humans are around in a hundred years, they'll be robots.
Why are people so cool with technology fucking with our brains. All these ground-breaking new attempts to manage humans...it may not be on the agenda yet, but fallen into the wrong hands would create a different world, and not in a good way.
Carl Sagan said advanced technology would be a threat to the earth and humans. He didn't seem very impressed with the notion that advanced civilizations were numerous in the "Cosmos".

That justifies the research for now, any way.

One day in the future, if you don't take the chip, you won't be able to buy anything...

Just because they found some dumb monkey it only means he is just another sick control freak like William Henry Gates III.

You would be a fool to think this isn't going somewhere eventually.

May not be in your lifetime...may not be in my lifetime...but someday...it will happen.

If my mother were still alive, she would be convinced that the Antichrist has finally arrived.

If this works out, it will be great possibility for those in the military that have lost arms or legs from explosion. A mechanical limb they can control would really cut down on their post explosion limitations.
