Which means ads can also be streamed. Heck no.

And subliminal messages below detection range?

Can neuralink give you cravings for specific foods and beverages (Coke) without even bothering with any media?

This technology's moving too fast. They need to chew it over with Twix.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I mean, once you've figured out how to play music in someone's mind, it's only a matter of time before you figure out what parts of the brain to activate to cause cravings, impulsive behavior or puts you in a suggestible state.

I can already stream music into my head, and all without invasive surgery. What an innovation.

Yes, but imagine trains but worse! Why aren't you excited??

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Next thing you’ll tell me they’ll be selling monthly subscriptions to use those trains.

Me too, but not everyone can actually. Still doesn't mean this is worthwhile. Look up anauralia (the sound version of aphantasia, which is a lack of mind's eye visually).

(sorry to anyone who discovers they have it from this comment)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Ah fr, that’s interesting. I’ve been able to construct orchestral pieces in my dreams, though I have no training in instruments. I guess it’s from memory of things Ive heard.

Where the fuck are all the "Mark of the beast" people, am I living in crazy time? Fuck I'm living in crazy time....

They are protesting vaccines and 5G. Simple minds are not very observant of the obvious shit.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

They’re busy wearing something on their forehead to show their allegiance to a man who calls for the suffering of the least among us

I do audiology research and can tell you right now, short of a cochlear implant -no we can't. And we are easily about two decades away from anything close. And even then, a CI can't make music sound as good as your ears. There is no 'one' place in the brain you can imput music into. The most dense and easiest place to input the music is in the cochlea, like a cochlear implant does. Every place up the chain then branches out to thousands of connections and makes it harder and harder. And every step higher up that you try to interface into means you are skipping the initial signal generator and lose out on all the needed fidelity. The next step above a CI is an ABI, auditory brainstem inplant. And they sound so bad, just going one stop up from the cochlea, that those users barely can understand speech and only in the best settings. And normally after about a year of auditory therapy with it. Realistically we tell people (the handfull a year who will end up with one) that they should expect to get sound awareness, and that's it, from their ABI. And now Elon talks about wanting to go another half dozen steps up from that and magically have the fidelity to make it sound like music?? GTFO. This guy is a moron and doesn't know what he is talking about.

Plus, it's really not worth the problems associated with brain chips. Even the Neuralink Human Test subjects ran into the same problem we've faced for decades: the connecting tissue dies. It might work for a few months and then people are going to need ANOTHER brain surgery to either remove it or fix it, if it even works multiple times to begin with.

I wonder who they're going to name the disease after when repeated Nueralink failures cause irreparable lifelong disease.

But most importantly they will stream ads into your brain

[–] explodicle 5 points 1 month ago

Don't worry, Premium will be ad-free forever. We swear.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wouldn't trust anyone to put this device in my head, but Musk is the absolute last person I would trust. Look at what he did to twitter and now imagine he has direct access to your brain.

If you have ADHD, you don't even need a Neuralink chip. Music is always playing in your head, whether you want it or not.

For example, seeing this post just triggered a rickroll in my head and I can't turn it off.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The trick isn't to turn it off, it's to change the station.

Much appreciated.

Remind me again, how many monkeys died an excruciating death because of this implant?

He also says Teslas are fully self driving, and we know the truth about that.

Any idiot can say any dumb ol thing that pops into their brain. It takes some wisdom not to.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The advertisements would kill me.

More like .... a permanent watermark in your vision whether you are awake or asleep for 'X.com' ... or you have to pay $9.99 a month to remove it.

That would legitimately be horrible

Imagine being forced to listen to Rick Ashley night and day

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (9 children)

Do exactly what we want, down to the movements of your eyes, or you will be in unimaginable pain.

I don't see what is funny about this. It absolutely will be used for egregious human rights violations.

Jokes on you! I enjoy that song!

I just discovered Rick Astley's recent tracks. They're amazing. Give "Never gonna stop" a listen : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWNQUvIk954

Am I the only one thinking, what if they hack it and make people's heads explode? I'm good on all of this if it's ever a thing. Considering how much control they have over cars remotely, you know they will have full control of this, and that's pretty scary.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Head explode? Unlikely

Debilitating seizures? Probably quite easy once you get into the software

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I doubt it'll contain any explosives, but I wouldn't totally dismiss the thought because musk

And it will not let you vote unless there's an R next to the ballot selection, otherwise it tells your brain to drop the pen

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Bold of you to think that you might be allowed to not vote according to the "approved plan".

You know, "for your convenience" and all.

Imagine hacker install randsomware on your brain

"Why would I pay good money for memories of these random kids you're showing me?"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Elon musk also says it'll let you shit flowers and breathe hard vaccum. Melon husk just makes shit up whenever he feels like it. It's not going to stream music into your brain. They still can't even get it to stop killing the testing animals.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

and a hidden bomb in it in case you might be a terrorist

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Ah I see he’s implementing his own form of brain control on the masses.
