I just need to open my work laptop and watch it utterly fail at even the most basic tasks for me to be convinced our level of technology is no where near where it needs to be to start sticking electronics in people's heads.
What are the chances this won't be proprietary?
What?
#Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year
I like that vision of future (implants are cool, neural interfaces can be useful), but I'd also like our world to stop and think a bit at every stage.
Solve the global network (note how I'm not saying "global computer network", because I don't think so, ideally we'd still have global analog commutated channel network as the base level), web of hypertext documents, universal applications and personal computing problems sufficiently well first. Then go to brain implants.
It's like combat drones, using them with optical cables for communication is better than with radio, turns out. That's the current way.
Would be good if for computing we'd figure out ways better than war to remove delusions.
Yeah no thanks
