This is the new tech that will justify Half Life 3 they were talking about in the doc. It all makes sense now, the ultimate controller!

This will be for paralyzed people
andybytes@programming.dev 2 months ago
It will be used for paralyzed people to give it a soft spin, but the goal really is a super soldier or many other applications in the military industrial complex. If it’s not for blowing up people, it’s for killing people or controlling people. It’s not that technology is evil. It’s that our economic system and our mode of production and who benefits. That’s the problem. The rich are just basically building our prison.

Yeah, maybe just leave all that for people born in 2030.

I’d probably be a slow adopter tbh. Feel like such a chio you’d want to be quite trustworthy and reliably and proprietary software and hardware is not the moat trustworthy thing in the world.
echodot@feddit.uk 2 months ago
Usually I am an earlier adopter of tech because I’m interested in technology, and I have money to burn. But I don’t need a brain chip, I’m weird enough already without having to debug my own head.

It would need to become a platform and standard unto itself.
Which is to say, I’m not installing one until I can flash the firmware myself.

I’m only doing the brain chip thing if it can fully transplant me to a Matrix level of simulated reality and get me out of this current hellhole permanently.

Is this what were getting instead of half life 3?
wewbull@feddit.uk 2 months ago
Half life: Alyx required VR.
Half life 3 requires neural integration.

A culture that obsoletes electronics every couple of years and enshittifies services every couple of other years cannot be seriously talking about MMIs/BCIs.

I didn’t know they were doing brainchips. I trust Gabe with it way more than fElon, for sure.

It’s fairly on brand for Valve, one of their banners was a guy with pipe valve stuck to his head.

Ohh…eh.
2019 left me with the impression Starfish was wireless.
Sticking stuff into my brain isn’t on my to-do list.
AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The startup here is making stuff for medical conditions, not games.
Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
That’s fine and might be beneficial medically one day, but I was under the impression Gabe was also interested in using this tech for VR/AR too eventually.
dan1101@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Wow Valve was on a great series of wins, this is a rare loss for them. Who wants this? Best case people will be sitting in meetings playing Half Life 3 in their brains. I don’t really want that.

we’re a long fucking way from helping any of those people with this stuff. this is for all the multimillionaires out there.
priapus@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
You’re looking at this with a very closed mind. This isnt (currently) being designed for people to just do normal computer stuff but in their brain. This technology has huge potential for improving prosthetics and treating neurological disorders.

When Gabe or Musk are the first people to get the implant, I’ll consider it… 10 to 15 years later.

I like that vision of future (implants are cool, neural interfaces can be useful), but I’d also like our world to stop and think a bit at every stage.
Solve the global network (note how I’m not saying “global computer network”, because I don’t think so, ideally we’d still have global analog commutated channel network as the base level), web of hypertext documents, universal applications and personal computing problems sufficiently well first. Then go to brain implants.
It’s like combat drones, using them with optical cables for communication is better than with radio, turns out. That’s the current way.
Would be good if for computing we’d figure out ways better than war to remove delusions.

As long as theres no wifi and its to solve medical issues, why not? Better than trusting a nazi.
Rose@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Valve enabling Nazis on Steam is about as good as being a Nazi. If this is the first time you’re hearing about the problem, search for “steam nazi” via your favorite search engine and you’ll get some pretty good results among the first.

Digital onboard data processing and spike detection allows the device to operate via low-bandwidth wireless interfaces.
It also receives power wirelessly so probably going to be the only option.

not “no wifi”. It’s “no any kind of wireless connections” and even then I’ll say no.

There are many reasons why I would take this over others. Many of those reasons have been pointed out in this thread. However there are many reasons why I say no. One small reason that will happen every year among many is will it have wifi 9?

I want to get one of the first implants possible. VR headsets are so unsightly.
