Music? Think bigger! How about linking your optic nerves to a smartphone linked to satellite camera systems. See anything on the surface of Earth while you move around - while also watching your step in front of you.

ruh-roh. Not a good idea to be messing around in areas that one shouldn’t be messing around in...

Maybe we could culture a few tons of brain matter in a large vat, grown on a matrix of these chips, and networked at ultra high speed to the Internet, and connect to it with our own embedded chips, to kind of “chat”.

That was the plot of the X-Files ep “Kill Switch”.

That would be highly useful for Joe Biden, he needs the chat stimulation to complete a speech or interview. But Biden would still mess up. Hopefully his brain matter won't be donated for such a cause (ab-normal).

Not so much “Skynet” as “Wire-heads”.
As soon as the scum of the earth hack how to do it the druggies will have the ultimate high.
Zap directly to the pleasure center of the brain!
Of course like so many things overuse will deaden the nerve, so keep increasing the voltage until that part of the brain is fried.
What does the addict do then, when pleasure is dead for them, assuming they survive?

I’m not seeing this sort of cyborg activity as progress.

OK, the first thing every red blooded American male will ask is “ can this help me get that hottie in bed?”.

Nice try Elon, but u need to to have more primal thoughts as to how your super duper tech will be used, u know, along the lines of Starman being launched to Mars in a Tesla.
