Elon Musk announces first Neuralink wireless brain chip implant in a human | BBC News

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has said his company Neuralink has successfully implanted a wireless brain chip in a human for the first time.

He said initial results detected promising neuron spikes or nerve impulses and the patient is recovering well.

Posting on X, formerly known as Twitter, Mr Musk said Neuralink’s first product would be called Telepathy, and if successful, would enable "control of your phone or computer, and through them almost any device, just by thinking".

While Mr Musk's involvement raises the profile of Neuralink, a number of rival companies have already implanted similar devices.

Imagine thinking of texting your ex but still debating whether or not to do it, and your phone texts your ex anyway just because you thought of it

This is why I’m afraid of people, not enough people on this earth with sense and they will make it worse for those on the earth with sense.

He should have been the first one to plug his brain into the machine

It is okay controlling devices trough thinking. Problem is if and actually when someone would implement the opposite protocol - when devices would be able to carry out instructions to control people trough that interface. And as a software developer with a 20 years of experience, I can clearly say that when someone invents a new technology, others would look trough all possibilities of how to explore and use that technology for all sorts of ways. And as all things developed with pure intentions at heart, someone would be there to corrupt it sooner or later. It is not a question of an if, it is a simple question of a when. History is full of examples. And no - I am not into conspiracies, this is just the human nature. I am just taking a logical view at it. And no - we cannot ban this technology, as it is a next iteration of science inventions. We could just look at ways to avoid the bad consequences, developing rules and frameworks of ways to use it. Sort like the road rules for cars.

If chips ever allow us to hear other people's thoughts. God help us.
