  • Hour vs. hour it’s the best form of transportation

    You get more space, there’s no TSA, you don’t get charged for bringing luggage, you can carry on liquids, you get leg room, the wifi is decent.

    But if I’m traveling a really far distance… For example, if I’m going from California to New York I’d rather go by plane. Going by train for that seems to be pretty horrible. America is in desperate need of a ground transportation that can get from California to New York quickly.














  • Did you read my comment?

    Yeah

    Just to be clear what Elon musk announced was not an advancement in the space of BIC. He is touting a pre-existing technology as an advancement.

    Yeah. He said they were controlling a mouse. it’s an advancement for his team, not for BCIs in general. I saw the video. He didn’t even sound that excited about it.

    Should be very concerned about Elon’s role in [this] space.

    This is the part I agree with, but it’s not where the criticism and jokes in this thread were directed even though he’s the biggest reason why people don’t like Neuralink.

    The end goal isn’t just to create a brain-controlled mouse. When I’m talking about criticizing advancements because of what they can currently do this is part of my problem. Technology in this vein could be the precursor to mechanically regaining the ability to use your own limbs. People equate justifiably disliking Elon and specific issues with Neuralink to deriding technology in general.

    The old stuff I saw around twenty years ago that was actually good was pretty invasive. I think I saw research on Duke doing this with monkeys around 2004 or so. Also I didn’t say it was revolutionary, I’m rejecting the belittling of any advances in technology just because I have the ability to click a mouse with my fully able body.
