Show me your billion dollars anon.

I can't wait to spend 1% of my net worth to implant Einstein level intelligence into my brain and obliterate all of you fucking nerds without even having to waste any of my life studying or trying.

I'll use all of my power to keep the implants out of the heads of beta nerds

I will only get neural links from my mind to computer if I am able to use my thoughts to create artwork so I no longer have to draw with charcoal, eraser, mech. pencil, and pencils.

If this happens I will forever quit drawing and just create shit with my mind.

Tell me /sci/. Would it be possible to create an image from the mind to the computer?

>>8784828
living on as AI like ghost in the shell is crackpot tier but there are definitely beneficial things that could feasibly be discovered from these devices.

Elon Musk is an advocate of democratizing artificial intelligence and making sure it doesn't fall into the hands of a few elite. As he states here.

>>8784934
I would imagine he'd have similar considerations for this technology

>>8784934
Even a billionaire like Elon Musk has a investment in keeping society from collapsing. It's stupid to think it's on an absolute crash course and that he has to escape, because it's not. Having off earth self sustaining colonies would MITIGATE RISK, not some shooting off billionaires into space as they make stupid faces at a dying earth.

>>8783918

If human society collapses, Elon Musk would stop being a billionaire overnight.

FIRST, WE GET RID OF THE OLD GNOSTICS.

Mark my fucking words.

>>8784939
To finish this sentiment, among the biggest risks to human life today are nuclear defense systems/faulty launch/false detection, just a thought.

I think of it like this. As humanity relies more upon technology, that technology is prone to failure. We're at a dangerous time in human civilization where, say if you're stuck in a vast wilderness with only a cellphone to call for help, and that cellphone shuts off, you're pretty much fucked. Because you're not a hunter gatherer/forager, you're a guy with a cellphone.

>>8783918
HOW MANY GNOSTICS DOES IT TAKE TO FIX A LIGHTBULB

ONE, WITH TERRORIST CONNECTIONS AND GRAMPS CONNECTIONS

>>8784844
Also, "show me ur billion dollars hurrrr"

Try the whole US GDP. If Elon Musk ever pisses off the US government, which is a collection of people from all walks of life, they will literally amend the constitution and seize all of his assets or something absolutely ridiculous.

Those politicians want in on the action, and they can't get any if people don't vote for them.

> they will literally amend the constitution and seize all of his assets or something absolutely ridiculous.
Todays governments hardly make any conscious decisions. It's mostly everyone for his own trying to get as much and as fast as possible.
But you don't need any govt conspiracy to kill Elon. His empire will probably disperse without him and we don't have backup copies of him yet.

>>8784958
This is why Elon Musk is Elon Musk, he understands the delicate balance of power that technology/science influences, and knows the dangers of disruptive technology and does everything he can to prevent that from ruining the planet. Unlike soulless corporations like Uber or Air-BnB which are technically illegal in some jurisdictions but still operating.

>>8783949
I'm starting to think he probably posts here.

Hi, Elon.

our empire, or on a more realistic scale, our global community, hopefully soon to be multiplanitary community

The brain isn't a digital system. It makes no sense to interface with a computer. Most likely he will end up damaging his volunteers' brains and go to prison for the rest of his life.

You failed at Electrical Engineering, didn't you?

The brain is a set of electrical wires called neurons. You have no idea about what the baudrate is and there's no way you can connect anything to it. Even if you manage to do that, there's no way you can debug it if you crash the brain's OS.

HOW THE FUCK is Elon this good a salesman. The guy is so good at larping sagan that no one ever talks his constant lying and colossal failures like hyperloop.

I don't mean to rain on your parade because I know you guys love this stuff, but as a neuroscientist I just have to come out and say that I think this development is grossly premature. Though we have made some advances in implanted BCI's, the applicability of these advances are hampered by:

1) The fact that current implants severely compromise the neural architecture that they are supposed to interact with. For example, we cannot implant electrodes chronically because the electrodes themselves cause widespread atrophy and axonal retraction around the implant area.
2) We currently lack even the basic knowledge of how how circuit dynamics arise from the macro- and micro-structural properties of those circuits. A quite prominent example of this is the crustacean stomatogastric nervous system (pic related). A small subnucleus of this system (the STG) consists of only 27 neurons of which we know the full synaptic wiring circuit. Yet, despite being studied for over 50 years, the dynamic functional range of this cuircuit is still a complete mystery to us. This is the result of the fact that the functionality of the circuit arises due to a complex and non-linear interaction between constituent components, which respond non-linearly to neuromodulatory influences themselves.Consequently, we still lack the ability to purposefully and accurately manipulate these small circuits.

How people can expect that we are at the point where durable and accurate neural interfaces are feasible is beyond me. But I admire your (and Elon Musk's) optimism.

>>8783918
He just talks a lot. His successes are few far in between.

He's a huge attention whore.. that's it.

Neuroscience student here, this post is accurate

All this move really does is give optics to the field

You would be a fucking moron to wire yourself to any electronic device that effects thought.

If anything Musk showed himself to be a NWO shill.
