I’m just saying the neuralink was never ready for primetime, and will not be for decades. The lie of workers just being able to jack into the matrix was marketing hype that fundamentally ignored the unacceptable risks of brain surgery at large scales. It was what fully clued me into just how stupid Musk was when he started going off about it things that wouldn’t happen anytime soon.

Cybernetic implants are unlikely to become mass market within the next half century, as the risk and cost are too high, while the technology is just not there. Don’t buy Elongate’s bullshit hype, that shit is sci-fi nonsense. It will not see uses outside of people with disabilities for decades, as the sensory implants do not have acceptable resolution to be preferable to a screen. Biology is hard to beat, and we might genuinely be able to remake biology before cybernetics surpasses them.
