I might be breaking my anonymity a little here but I do have problems controlling my limbs (and my speech). This has been a worsening problem since Genesis block. I've gone hours without being able to move, and when I can it's pretty sporadic each and every day.

Although I might be the most likely to benefit from this, I've still got certain reservations about it. But my reservations are beginning to thaw.

I've seen videos of people without a limb where they can pick up items using their mind.

I'm sure that the technology will quickly advance as the AI used in this technology advances.

So, for the time being, I'm only voting 'maybe' - only because I'm not gonna be a guinea pig.

But I'll certainly be watching this space closely and keep an open mind.

I guess as I get older, and my health deteriorates further, I'll come to a point where I feel I've got nothing to lose - but try it.

It does sound pretty cool. I'm a bit conservative regarding experimenting with my health though...

I don't know much about this tech, and haven't read the article yet, but I was thinking yesterday about how when relying on external "crutches" to achieve something, our body stops mobilising the internal resources needed for that same function, and increasingly become dependent on the crutch. Kind of "use it or lose it"

I can see the case for people who have already lost the use of their limbs, but for the rest, I'm worried it could be detrimental for example to their hand-eye coordination, and what the unintended consequences would be.

I'll vote "NO" for now, but might change my mind after I read more on the topic.

That’s going to be a hard pass for me. I don’t want to be forced into invasive upgrades every few years when my chip is out of date.

Also I don’t trust big tech to not use it to spy on me or lock basic functionality behind micro transactions or subscriptions.

for -me- to -have- control sure. not at all a corporate product where "terms and conditions" will now apply to my thoughts.

there's a little too much hype. I'm cool with such a product existing, as long as they are honest about what it actually entails. As I read more about testing it seems like a large portion of their animal subjects died due to complications from the neuralink- I would want longevity testing before putting it in people.

I would only buy a device like that if they offer full access to the data, with no need for subscriptions or accounts, even if they are free.

This reminded me of Galea, a nice EEG device and Mixed Reality headset all in one

Personally no, even if I was in a position where it could improve the quality of my life, I'd much prefer to go all natural

F*ck no, Wechat elon would know your Bitcoin private key and much more

FUCK no. This is straight up Mark of the Beast level shit they are trying to pull.

between this kind of mind control stuff and all the AR/VR innovation going on these days, it seems like the days of using fingers to type stuff on a computer are coming to an end.

feels like progress, but to me the apple vision pro is looking like a much more appealing option than it did last week.

I am good thanks

Based on the build quality of Tesla vehicles I might wait a few generations or until Elon is no longer at the helm.

FUCK NO

I instantly said no but i should have said maybe because i only vaguely know what it is.

Never put anything in your brain you don't control.

Peak clown world reached when this needs to be said.

If we were to ever live in a world where open-source versions of this tech existed, maybe. But we probably won't, so...
