Yup I don't feel sad at all anymore. Lets kill more monkeys!
Your sadness is valid. But we should not stop research because of it.
No I'm saying let's kill many more monkeys if it's good for our species.

Yeah those researchers would be aimlessly rotting in academia if he didn’t fund risky, out there stuff like this. I can’t name anyone else among his peers who spends their wealth on anything even remotely civilizationally beneficial.
>Would be rotting in academia They’d be doing research man
They _are_ doing research man, and they get help from the best engineers on the planet to turn that research into reality. That’s much better than poking mice brains and never getting anything done. Here they get EEs, roboticists, computer vision experts, neurosurgeons, you name it.

I was sort of with you until the FSD
The new FSD is fantastic. It's not perfect but 12.3 is a massive upgrade over 11.x. Very natural. The end is within sight, really.
IDK. I tried previous versions others said were “fantastic” and it was a pants-shitting experience every time, so I quickly turned it off. Plus I had to hold onto the steering wheel the entire time. That’s not “self driving” IMO
Re: Neuralink patient controls games by thinking during interview
#145Some clarity for ppl. - Other techniques would likely work for this patient. Eyegaze technology is pretty readily available. He has proximity switches for driving his chair and lets not forget voice control. So.. what does BCIe offer significantly? I think this is the BIG problem BCI has. The gains are not enough for a lot of people compared to what the AT sector can already offer. Please remember this. This guy coul…
He explicitly mentions eye tracking and how it doesn't work for him in this interview with him: https://twitter.com/ModdedQuad/status/1771298116719002100

Version 12 is a quantum leap above version 11. It's not even comparable. V11 was just bad imo

Maybe I’ll give it another try. Do you still have to keep your hands on the steering wheel?

They probably interviewed him to see if he’d be a good person for PR reasons. And I imagine he got it for free. So he has plenty to be happy about with the situation
I'd rather hear about his own experiences from the man himself, without someone from Neuralink standing over him and hyping it for a press release.
He’s on twitter expressing his own opinion all the time

I‘ve been wondering if Apple‘s AR Headset would be a useful tool for people in similar situations. Did you have a chance to try it, yet?
Doesn't that headset require you to be able to move your head in various directions, and be able to use gestures and such? I just looked at some videos during the release, and those things seems to be a pretty fundamental part of using it.
From what I understand the headset can be configured to be used without moving the head and even to use eye tracking, only, instead of the minimal finger gestures.
