Comment on Elon Musk’s Neuralink reports trouble with first human brain chip
Psythik@lemmy.world 6 months agoWait, is that what these brain chips are for? Well now I can’t hate on them as much as I used to if they’re meant to help people learn how to walk again. I thought it was just supposed to help you process thoughts more quickly or something, like a math coprocessor in an old 90s PC.

It’s one use, I’ve heard their designs described as opening the brain’s io processes. Once the “data lanes” are available, it’s then the “applications” that implement the uses over it. That could mean adding a math coprocessor, or correcting vision issues, or getting tweets beamed into your mind. Roll the dice on a musk project 🤷
