Elon Musk Wants Us To Place Electrodes In Our Brains And Merge With Artificial Intelligence So He Can GTFO

The Verge- SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk is backing a brain-computer interface venture called Neuralink, according to The Wall Street Journal. The company, which is still in the earliest stages of existence and has no public presence whatsoever, is centered on creating devices that can be implanted in the human brain, with the eventual purpose of helping human beings merge with software and keep pace with advancements in artificial intelligence. These enhancements could improve memory or allow for more direct interfacing with computing devices. Musk has hinted at the existence of Neuralink a few times over the last six months or so. More recently, Musk told a crowd in Dubai, “Over time I think we will probably see a closer merger of biological intelligence and digital intelligence.” He added that “it’s mostly about the bandwidth, the speed of the connection between your brain and the digital version of yourself, particularly output.” On Twitter, Musk has responded to inquiring fans about his progress on a so-called “neural lace,” which is sci-fi shorthand for a brain-computer interface humans could use to improve themselves.

Is this thing on? Well it fucking better be because Elon Musk just announced his craziest idea yet and you better be listening to me. Again, it’s just an idea because that’s where Elon loves to live. He lives to cast his fishing line as far as possible and simply say, “We’re gonna do that” then people shower him with loveland call him the real life Iron Man. Lather, rinse, repeat. This latest idea is a goddamn trip and anyone who thinks it’s a good idea needs to get off Elon’s jock. I’m not a numbers guy but last I checked we know roughly 2% about how the human brain works. Scientists are constantly baffled by how the human brain works and Elon has the balls to stand up and say, “Hey let’s start plugging electrodes into this meat machine that we don’t understand so we can merge with robots.” Good call, you fucking idiot. Let’s master one thing before we turn our brains into video games.  I liked it better when Elon was crash-landing space rockets and building cars. If anyone tries to come at my brain with electrodes they’re gonna get hit with these WMDs instead (pulls hands away fro keyboard and points at biceps).
