🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
Is this a road to slavery or true progress in human evolution?
Elon Musk shows off updates to his brain chips and says he’s going to install one in himself when they are ready

KEY POINTS
Elon Musk’s health tech venture Neuralink shared updates to its brain-implant technology during a “show and tell” recruitment event Wednesday night. Musk said two of the company’s applications will aim to restore vision, even for people who were born blind, and a third application will focus on the motor cortex, restoring “full body functionality” for people with severed spinal cords. The announcements should be treated with some skepticism, say experts.
This is about communication with entities we are as of yet unable to communicate with. What percent of the world's population were born without sight or are fully paralyzed? It's cool to fix those I guess, but it's naive to think the whole of neuralink, brain-computer interface, is about fixing a few people's mobility problems.
It's going to be amazing.
Or enslaving…
You’re already enslaved but you can’t see the collar.
So are you then….. nice misdirection. The point is technology can facilitate a tighter collar…no?
