Neuralink

Imagine how much more efficient a direct connection to the brain would be. It would solve the biggest problem humans have, doing repetetive tasks.

>relying on janky optical-based autopilot sensors to whip you around at 127mph in a barely-wide-enough tunnel
no thanks mr musky, you cant even figure out how to avoid concrete dividers on off ramps.

Also:

wow it solved nothing

Yea I was just noting how it's still possible to do some basic stuff.

Except it wouldn't because the only neural connection devices we have require you to either focus very very hard on the task, or relies on already-known neural pathways. This is how prosthetic work, they lay an electrode grid over the top of your brain and just tell you "use your muscle memory" and your brain fires what it already knows, so you can actually use your prosthetic. It doesn't mean that you can stick one of those in your head and suddenly work a coffee machine with passive thought and no concentration.

>Neuralink is a thing
it literally isn't though

you're all a bunch of larpers and marketters

fuck
that

Let's look at math for examples. You can think of 2 + 2 and 4 instantly comes as an answer. Imagine if you can learn, for each person, what pattern represent numbers and operations in their head. Then you can think of 8^6 + log7(40,353,607) and 262,153 instantly comes as an answer.

There is also the possibility of reading some sort of a programming language. This will significantly increase what is possible and I don't imagne it being that much harder to implement than the math example.

Cybran master race is imminent

How long until hax0rz eventually find ways to send dolphin porn directly to your mind?

Also imagine "automatic dual personality" mode where you can activate the chip to take over your body for your work and literally wake up after to enjoy your free time. No work for life!

Imagine if it took over and you'd have no life for life

That's fine too. As long as I don't have to do things I don't want to do.

Whoa EPIC bodymods! I love implanting random junk into my pasty middle-class San Fran body! #cyberpunk

I for one can't wait to install gentoo on my brain. Fuck Mr. God's proprietary botnet shit with arbitrary filters and pointless bloat like muh emoshunz.

loved reading stories from all the soibois who "implanted" magnets in their fingertips back in 2012
they got scarred for life, and had to perform a second surgery to get it removed because the magnet lost its strength after a while kek

also they couldn't get anywhere near mri scans so in case of an emergency they were fucked. i think the biggest drawback of becoming a cyborg are shit like this, it is just superior to be made out of flesh, metal doesn't repair itself and is electrically conductive, can get magnetized, and so on... flesh does have many desirable qualities

I'll give it a few months to see the effects it has on people then maybe I"ll consider it

Would this be the first step towards a human hive mind?

BOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTNEEEEEEEEETTTT

not the first, prc has them beat

This is true, but we really don't know what is actually possible because we've lacked high-quality, long term implants. A big question is if it's possible to use the motor cortex to control more than our bodies; we know that with current shitty implants people can control mice and robotics by trying to move their own paralyzed body, which a computer uses to control something else, and we know that by monitoring a single neuron monkey brains can rewire themselves to fire that specific neuron on demand by rewarding them, but we don't know if a normal person could learn to use a virtual keybaord and mouse with their brain in addition to controlling their body. I think you could, it's just going to take a lot of time and effort; learning to use a new "limb" is going to look more like excruciating physical therapy. We won't have plug and play shit for at least decades; until we have beefy implants and AI that can understand what a random brain is trying to do and do it for them.

I think Adam Sandler made a movie about that.

Let’s talk about Elon Musks talking monkey.
Because the first thing anyone would do to a neuralinked monkey would be speech synthesis.

I thought they didn't have the vocal tracks for this

how much money do you get paid for shilling OP?

Better version: youtube.com/watch?v=r-vbh3t7WVI

I haven't watched the entire thing yet so I don't know if it was answered, but what happens when the head is struck? i.e. in a car crash, or in a boxing match? Wouldn't those fragile, hair-thick wires come loose?

Vocal samples? Wtf? They can use robot text to speech voice.

They literally just have to make a training game and AI can associate their brain patterns with the target imagery and concepts.

There's intentionally no radios in Neuralink's implant. The device is entirely passive and has to be powered and communicated with through inductive coils under the skin.

Not addressed. Since they're targeting quads at first I don't think it's an issue yet.

There's a big difference between riding a quad and a quad bike.

Yes... But since Neuralink has a monkey controlling a computer, you could train the monkey to speak with the computer, like Stephen Hawking.

>Lüscher and his team have been studying addiction using mice. In one of his experiments, the mice have a lever that they can press any time they want. When they press the button, a special optical sensor, which controls specific neurons in their brain, activates their dopamine neurons.

>The mouse quickly start to show the tell tale signs of addictive behaviour as they happily keep pressing the lever to receive more and more dopamine.

>“If after two hours we didn’t take them out of the cage, they wouldn’t eat, they wouldn’t drink, then they’d probably die quickly, but very happily,” says Lüscher, speaking during the conference.

>insert neuralink directly to pleasure centre of brain

The ultimate suicide. Or even better, you could effectively control anyone by rewarded them when they complete tasks.

>the mice have a lever that they can press any time they want. When they press the button,
So the button is an alternative object for the mice, or does the writer not know the difference?

There was another study performed where
a group of monkeys were given a lever which would dispense some food each time they pushed it. They tracked their dopamine levels and found that, predictably, they would always rise after receiving the reward.

Then they gave another group of monkeys a lever, only this time they made it only give out some food 50% of the time. The end result was that their dopamine levels spiked twice as high as the group that got a reward every time.

Gotta give it to Musk.
He's the greatest con artist of our time.

Very interesting idea. You could essentially have slaves who would have no desire to try to escape.
At some point there will probably be a cult like NXVIM that uses technology like this.

I guess you are right if you really think about it but at some point you have to use technology that's more efficient than you alone. I feel like your argument implies that people who use calculators are worst mathematicians for example. Of course I believe that you should use technology only when it's necessary and you have full control over it but if we were to follow your train of thought we wouldn't ever advance.

>mind control
This is what the project was originally, and proof of concept had already been showcased over 20 years ago.

You do realise that engineering now-a-days consists of making models and doing vector analysis, right? A good engineer literally can't do his job without a computer.

I know but that doesn't mean you can't have different applications for it.

It doesn't even need to take over directly, just guide you the best it can. After some time there won't be a difference.

1/3

In the treasure-vaults of Til Iosophrang rests the Whispering Earring, buried deep beneath a heap of gold where it can do no further harm.

The earring is a little topaz tetrahedron dangling from a thin gold wire. When worn, it whispers in the wearer's ear: "Better for you if you take me off." If the wearer ignores the advice, it never again repeats that particular suggestion.

After that, when the wearer is making a decision the earring whispers its advice, always of the form "Better for you if you...". The earring is always right. It does not always give the best advice possible in a situation. It will not necessarily make its wearer King, or help her solve the miseries of the world. But its advice is always better than what the wearer would have come up with on her own.

It is not a taskmaster, telling you what to do in order to achieve some foreign goal. It always tells you what will make you happiest. If it would make you happiest to succeed at your work, it will tell you how best to complete it. If it would make you happiest to do a half-assed job at your work and then go home and spend the rest of the day in bed having vague sexual fantasies, the earring will tell you to do that. The earring is never wrong.

The Book of Dark Waves gives the histories of two hundred seventy four people who previously wore the Whispering Earring. There are no recorded cases of a wearer regretting following the earring's advice, and there are no recorded cases of a wearer not regretting disobeying the earring. The earring is always right.

2/3

The earring begins by only offering advice on major life decisions. However, as it gets to know a wearer, it becomes more gregarious, and will offer advice on everything from what time to go to sleep, to what to eat for breakfast. If you take its advice, you will find that breakfast food really hit the spot, that it was exactly what you wanted for breakfast that day even though you didn't know it yourself. The earring is never wrong.

As it gets completely comfortable with its wearer, it begins speaking in its native language, a series of high-bandwidth hisses and clicks that correspond to individual muscle movements. At first this speech is alien and disconcerting, but by the magic of the earring it begins to make more and more sense. No longer are the earring's commands momentous on the level of "Become a soldier". No more are they even simple on the level of "Have bread for breakfast". Now they are more like "Contract your biceps muscle about thirty-five percent of the way" or "Articulate the letter p". The earring is always right. This muscle movement will no doubt be part of a supernaturally effective plan toward achieving whatever your goals at that moment may be.

Soon, reinforcement and habit-formation have done their trick. The connection between the hisses and clicks of the earring and the movements of the muscles have become instinctual, no more conscious than the reflex of jumping when someone hidden gives a loud shout behind you.

At this point no further change occurs in the behavior of the earring. The wearer lives an abnormally successful life, usually ending out as a rich and much-beloved pillar of the community with a large and happy family.

3/3

When Kadmi Rachumion came to Til Iosophrang, he took an unusual interest in the case of the earring. First, he confirmed from the records and the testimony of all living wearers that the earring's first suggestion was always that the earring itself be removed. Second, he spent some time questioning the Priests of Beauty, who eventually admitted that when the corpses of the wearers were being prepared for burial, it was noted that their brains were curiously deformed: the neocortexes had wasted away, and the bulk of their mass was an abnormally hypertrophied mid- and lower-brain, especially the parts associated with reflexive action.

Finally, Kadmi-nomai asked the High Priest of Joy in Til Iosophrang for the earring, which he was given. After cutting a hole in his own earlobe with the tip of the Piercing Star, he donned the earring and conversed with it for two hours, asking various questions in Kalas, in Kadhamic, and in its own language. Finally he removed the artifact and recommended that the it be locked in the deepest and most inaccessible parts of the treasure vaults, a suggestion with which the Iosophrelin decided to comply.

All the applications will lead back to mind control.

It is a /sci/ meme barb against engineers. I did CAD for 15 years, but I still break out a slide rule once in a while. It makes me look like a Wizard in the eyes of the younger generation while they fumble with their smartphones.

I can't wait to see a real life recreation of MGS4 with all of this. Whoever controls the neural network will control everything and everybody.

You should give it at least a decade. That's how long brain implants take to start to degrade.

The demand is there.
