Such kind of tech can never progress unless living beings – animals or humans – get harmed, in big numbers too. It’s inevitable by the virtue of us almost having no clue what we’re doing when it comes to the brain.

Not everyone was impressed…

“I don’t think there was anything revolutionary in the presentation,” he said.

"But they are working through the engineering challenges of placing multiple electrodes into the brain.

"In terms of their technology, 1,024 channels is not that impressive these days, but the electronics to relay them wirelessly is state-of-the-art, and the robotic implantation is nice.

“The biggest challenge is what you do with all this brain data. The demonstrations were actually quite underwhelming in this regard, and didn’t show anything that hasn’t been done before.”

He went on to question why Neuralink’s work was not being published in peer-reviewed papers.

Just hoping this will be used for the benefit of mankind
