Give the over promise and (way, way, waaaaay) under deliver of all his self driving bloviations there’s no way in hell I’d be down to let him implant anything in my head.
Are you quadriplegic/paraplegic? I'm sure that will influence you decision

Such devices are a dead end, imo. I think the next generation of BMI will likely be something you can put on your head like old time headphones with some being even less invasive than that maybe as mere 'pebbles' you just put on your temples or where ever else is potentially optimal for interacting with the human brain.

#33Too much hate here. It's surprising how quicly people jumped from "Elon is the genius" to "Elon is a fraud and a liar".
I mean, I've thought he was a weird idiot since before it was cool, but I think the Twitter debacle really has made it a lot clearer to people (and has made me revise my previous assessment; I hadn't previously realised he was _this_ bad).

#34Looking at all the cell phones catching fire and seeing how short the lifespan those lithium batteries have, I don't think it is a good idea to put them in people's skulls.

I get really strong "Fringe" vibes from all of this

There is nothing surprising. Elon is for a very long time on the scene. You must be a really good performer not fail during 2 decade long show. I don’t mind Tesla’s poor self driving, Tesla Model X is really cool vehicle (with some design flaws, but it’s ok). My personal turning point was calling a diver “pedo”. After all he’s just another mega rich guy totally decoupled from reality.

#37Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's pretty obvious that Waymo has done a million miles completely driverless with no major accidents, while Tesla has shipped a buggy and frequently updated piece of software to thousands of "beta testers" who demonstrate that it's unsafe on YouTube constantly.
Since when are frequent software updates a bad thing? At what point did any beta software worked perfectly?
This is troubling.. This was the point made above. I don't feel too comfortable with someone playing "POC" on my brain.

#38I really miss when discussions about Musk's companies were about the technology - there is a lot of interesting areas to discuss with Neurolink and how their approaching development. But now comment sections about anything Musk related are pointless - entirely about his personality and politics
