As a healthy person no, not at the current stat of the the tech today.

Definitely not the beta

After 2 years the new users will start eating your bandwidth

This is how I feel when new PS consoles come out. I'll walt.

Right. Let early adopters iron out the bugs. But if they're really able to deliver a product that can boost your brain power, job competition would create a driving force for global adoption. Maybe not with our generations who have those old-fashioned ideas of the integrity of the human body, but future generations will embrace it. One step closer to the immortal machine, as the Omnissiah wills it.

For now it is not the point. I am sure we would all sign up if we were in a wheel chair, blind etc.

I’d rather die no thanks

I fit the criteria for testing according to their website. Paralyzed,no family,won't sue. Been tweeting at Elon and emailed their company but no reply yet(been like 2 months) would love to be their lab rat. Even if it doesn't work it will further the science. I just can't get ahold of them to try. I'd give anything for them to test it on me. I'd be honored

I applaud you.

Hey man, i Salute you for being so brave. I know this is Reddit but if you need anything or just a talk, let me know.

Damn. How can we amplify your voice so they can hear you?

Just be careful. They admitted some chimps died from the tests.

I'd do the same, but I'm in Europe and I'm kinda too lazy to make an effort to contact them. I'd love to be a lab rat for science though

If they can make me a mentat I’m in.

Have you tried the grape ones? They're awesome.

Second this.

Reload if addicted?

Maybe like the 9th generation of it. Don't feel like making repeated holes in my skull for each iteration of it.

“Damnit, they changed the form factor again??!”

Nobody wants to be in the beta but everyone wants beta to be complete to see how it goes

I was thinking more like cars. Yeah a 1960s car could go 90mph but think of the complete lack of safety features. I’d rather have any brand new car now compared to even the “safest” 50+ year old car.

I heard 8th generation should be good already. It allows semi-manual leg movement and inverted sexual stimulation

I’m 66 yo and have permanent nerve damage in my left leg. Yes, I would seriously consider it.

If it makes me dramatically smarter with low risk then definitely, the investment pays for itself

Only if it was well tested and would improve my quality of life by curing blindness/deafness etc.

U typed this blind and deaf? I don’t think u need neuralink u boss!

I would do it. If it meant having good memory

Not me

Maybe. Does it have google?

Not to bring up politics, but maybe Joe could use one right about now.

Hell to the no, the no no no….

Maybe someday but not today

Not in a million years. I'd sooner put a bullet in my head than something that could allow companies to beam advertisements directly into my brain

Early adopter here: Fuck No.

Depends if I could charge my phone or not.

Charger goes up the anus.

Hell yeah

I think I'll honestly never need it until I'm quite old.

Elon should focus on a chip that allows men to understand women for when they say one thing but mean another. Don’t tell my wife that I said that 🤭😇🤣

Unfortunately it will eventually be used to control you.

Yeah they will just turn your ass off when you say or do shit they don’t like.

So if it could unlock a cure got my cancer or help develop a cure for cancer for future generations, I would. If it could help me to become stronger and healthier, I would.

Only if I has wifi. I can't be doing no cords

I have memory problems. I would sign up in a heartbeat.

Depends on what features I'm getting.

I’d go to mars first

100% would once typing is second nature for these devices. As a developer I could only dream of the fast, iterative UX design possibilities when you can just think your interface into existence…

Never….

They working on tinnitus? I'd be interested to hear silence one day.

Fuck that lol

"you have not renewed your subscription, we will deactivate your brain in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6..."

I'm a perfectly healthy 27 year old. I'd do it. Fuck it. Life is so boring and pointless feeling why not be a lab rat.

Never get one for any reason. Rather die first.

No. I want to be human. No cyborg shit.

Not a change in hell

Nope.

Not in a million years.

I wouldn't

Nooooo way.

No way in hell. I deal with IT security. I find it scary that people are ok with interfacing their brains with computers, can you imagine viruses or malicious actors taking control of your brain and literally making you a zombie?

Nope

NOPE!!!!!!

Nope

I won’t even try those new eye drops Vuity yet😂. I like to wait and watch before trying anything new.

Why would you want a hair brained experiment put inside your skull? Lol

I would if privacy could be guaranteed. I don't want a tracker injected into my skull.

Nope

Never!! Don’t need Uncle Sam tapping into my brain

Without question, it will make you so much more capable than a basic human, essentially a tech god. It wont be released as a consumer product until its been extensively saftey tested of humans.

Your personal lightning rod!

[удалено]

Okay simp

Are you 9 years old?

If I could stream music 24/7 from it yes

only without wifi. give me a usb-c port on the side of my head so i dont have to use wifi ever

Not a fan of Chinese/Russian/North Korean/NSA hackers having direct access to my brain.

yes

only after waiting a bit though to see the reception of the device to see if it's actually worth it

As a developer, and so long as it is safe and I had full access to the data from it, yes I would do it right away. I want to see how I work and I want to engineer myself.

At the point of time it truly delivers a massive economic advantage. Like increasing your earning power by 100x

Depends on what it can actually do.

I would. The electrode design alone is incredibly innovative, compared to all BMIs currently developed - the glial scarring would be minimal. I injured my hand in a fight a couple years back and my fifth metacarpus did not grow back quite perfectly. If I could free my right hand from daily typing, it would free me from a lot of pain. I would likely wish to know more about the software beforehand, however.

Bug: Left eye stopped working when chip is overloaded with information. Will be fixed in the next update/patch. Temporary solution is to poke left eye until it turns on again.

I would. But after all the quirks are worked out by the lab rats...err i mean, early adopters

No not unless I had some terminal illness that it could help or if I had some neurodegenerative disease like Alzheimer’s.

I’ll sign up even though I probably don’t need it. As long as I don’t pay for it.

If I have Alzheimer’s I would.

I won't have to worry about it. As far as cognition enhancement goes, this is not coming to humans in my lifetime nor my children's.

I hate the idea of this beyond solving legitimate, major medical issues, but it very well may come down to staying competitive…

Never will suffice

I would

I’d do it if I had a brain injury and the chip could help

Are they sour cream and onion ?

I’d take the beta version to take one for the team and curious as to what will happen

Yes

Would 10/10 get one asap. Even if I were the first human.

If Elon is getting it then I’ll chill a year or so and see how that goes and then get the newest model

I’m in.

I would be pretty keen to stick my head inside that machine. I would probably even go first...

Brainpal?

I would gladly be number 1.

I’d wait until it would be out of beta testing

I study neuroscience and am going into med school next year hopefully for neurology and I would say not for another 40 years

Here

Not if I'm a healthy person

I would have to be getting paid some serious bank before I’d consider it.

After it gets tested for enough time and the chances to get brain damage or worse are close to zero it’s a no-brainer (no pun intended), until that point in time no

First in line

Augment me

Me

Meee 🙋🏽‍♂️I’m blind in one eye it’s really screwed up. So they could just take it out and put a port in the socket, easy to plug new versions of nuralink in etc

Never in beta testing, but once it's been thoroughly tested, if it'd fix my pain in my back or my headaches then absolutely.

Sorry I’m a bit out of the loop. What it the neuralink’s purpose?

Today? No. In a decade or two? Sure

Anyone who believes this will do 1/10th of what Musk claims will be severly dissapointed.

My memory is awful, Count me in! No more shouting at “Alexa”

Most of who thinks about it, needs a brain to be planted in his head not a chip, a chip alone won’t work 😂

[удалено]

I’d be down 100%

As long as it’s passive and has a kill switch then yes.

Deaf/blind Android users using TalkBack accessibility meanwhile Nauralink chip be like :'(

Sign me up.

maybe after they works out the bugs and shit haha never pre order....

Funny how the majority of you suddenly lose all your trust for Elon and his intentions when Neuralink comes up

At the moment it's just for brain injuries etc but if Elon is right in maybe as little as a couple of decades we will all have to be implanted just to be on par with everyone else and the technological advancements of A.I. I probably won't partake but it's going to be absolutely insane to watch haha.

Let me ask other Barry.
