>The concept was first thought up by Iain M. Banks in his Culture novels. In these novels, a neural lace is a mesh-like device that would be implanted in a person directly through the bloodstream, controlling the release of certain neurons using the power of thought.
>Musk’s version of the neural lace doesn’t work exactly like that. Musk’s lace seems to be a mesh that would allow such AI to work symbiotically with the human brain. Signals will be picked up and transmitted wirelessly, but without any interference of natural neurological processes. Essentially, making it a digital brain upgrade. Imagine writing and sending texts just using your thoughts.

Did we ask for this?
Could this cause cancer?

Everything causes cancer and prevents it. Hang on, let me get a citation. Will the daily mail do?

This could be the first step to a true human interface device. I won't be an early adopter because that never goes well but it'll be awesome if this develops further.
>>56553506
Yes. You could hack someone's brain and make it release compounds that would trigger cancer.
Immortality when?
>>56553617
Six months after your death.

Nah, I'll pass

if you think this will be benevolent, you're a special kind of stupid
I can't wait for Elon to explode my brain by accident

we are living in the last days

Elon musk is a fraud
>>56553487
Why contain it?
>>56553487
He cant even build a car or a rocket that doesn't blow up. Hows he gonna do any of that?

>DId we ask for this?
I still hope this never happens.
The moment we start incorporating technology into ourselves, and moreso taking things from outside directly into your brains for "convenience" is the moment we die.
If you can't see how dangerous this neural lace is, you're stupid. Think about how relatively easy it is to penetrate and take control of even the most hardened systems.

there's already people working against aging. It'll be available within 10 to 30 years

I'm not letting Google/Apple anywhere near my brain
