Tech mogul Elon Musk unveiled his latest foray into science fiction Friday night: a brain chip implant to allow people who are paralyzed to operate technology, such as smartphones or robotic limbs, with their thoughts.
"I think it's going to blow your minds," Musk said. "It's like a Fitbit in your skull with tiny wires."
But the coin-sized chips, developed by Musk's secretive startup Neuralink, are a ways off from being useful to humans. Friday's livestreamed YouTube demonstration was on a pig named Gertrude, who Musk said had a brain chip implanted two months earlier.

Friday's livestreamed YouTube demonstration was on a pig named Gertrude, who Musk said had a brain chip implanted two months earlier. Was it one of those cloned Chinese pigs with human DNA?

The pig seems to like it, but here are still a few wrinkles to be worked out after the first human trials.

I want a remote-control pig! It's all fun and games until someone hacks your pig and then suddenly the pig is eating YOUR bacon.

It’s not so much whether or not you can use the Neuralink to control things....
Can it also be used to control YOU?

This could help a lot of our brain injured veterans and a lot of paralyzed people. Not everything is a conspiracy

Big barrels of No Way.
I find it interesting that body modders have recently decried NOT going in the cyborg direction. That, unless you’ve had a terrible accident, you’re better off with what you were born with.

Basically, people who have had magnets implanted say that those implanted magnets lose their effectiveness in about five years.
Quote from the article: “The better wearable devices get, the less sense it makes to permanently modify your body. Things like exoskeletons, smart glasses, and external brain-computer interfaces are safer and much easier to upgrade than their implanted counterparts.”
Put this tech on a headphone or goggles and be done with it.
