Musk always surprises people.
On January 29, Musk announced on the social ** platform X that human beings have received brain-computer interface (neuralink) chip implantation for the first time, and the implant person is recovering well.
What does that mean? It is to implant tiny electrodes in the human brain, and use electric current to make the computer interact with brain cells, so that the computer can direct the human brain. The user of the human brain chip who ate the crab this time was a patient who had lost the function of his limbs. The purpose of this experiment is to help patients regain their ability to communicate with the outside world and even walk again. In 2021, Neuralink released **, a microchip-implanted monkey that can play games under the command of a computer, and this experiment caused a global sensation.
At present, this technology is still mainly used in medical treatment, and is expected to bring good news to patients with epilepsy, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other diseases. But in principle, the application scenarios of brain chips are far more than that. For many scumbags who don't like to study, the leaps and bounds in grades after implanting a chip may not be a dream, and eliminating scumbags is a matter of chips. Intellectual crimes may reach unpredictable levels, but it is not known whether it is the human brain or the computer that is responsible for all this.
Whether this technology is a blessing or a curse for humanity is now very controversial and the consequences are difficult to predict.
