Synchron Inc., which develops a so-called brain-computer interface and competes with Elon Musk’s Neuralink Corp., enrolled the first patient in its U.S. clinical trial, putting the company’s implant on a path toward possible regulatory approval for wider use in people with paralysis.
I went to a conference around 4 years ago where Hugo De Garis talked about A.I. A couple of things he said that I liked, was that everyone is currently a cyborg.. The computer is in their hand (cell phone), but it will soon move to their brain. He wrote a book called The Artelect War, which talked about a war that will be coming between normal humans (Terrans), and artelects (arteficial human intellects). He talked about how advanced the thinking of artelects will be compared to normal terrans, that it will be like how we view ants. They are so far beneath us and unimportant that it is nothing when you kill them. The artelects intelligence will be so far above the terrans that it will be easier to kill them than find work and a way to feed them.
Questions
1. At some point the children with chips in their brain will be so far above normal children, that parents will have to decide whether or not to chip their children, so that they can keep up in school, jobs, etc. Would you chip your child?
2. If it is approved to be safe, will you move your computer from your hand to your forehead?
