Headphones do all this already. No mind control is a nice little benefit too.

Even if you wanted some proprietary tech installed in your body, it seems like such a terrible idea. What happens when the thing is obsolete? What happens if there is a bug? What happens when Elons team didn't consider some edge case or basic engineering principles? What is to prevent them from doing something unethical once it is installed?
Stay out of my brain, thank you very much.
I would be interested in seeing brain implant with fully open-source firmware that could be flashed securely (as in no wireless updates). I probably wouldn't use it but I would be more comfortable with supporting it for those with physical disabilities.
No think,
only consume.
But but ... it'll play music in your head! Don't you see the benefit of such marvellous innovation provided exclusively by Elon Musk?
What we really need is for people to be way more distracted and absorbed into media at all times of the day than they already are AND for there to be no detectable way to know they are distracted to everyone around them. The frustration of being constantly ignored combined with the urge to constantly have information or entertainment streaming straight into your cortex will mean that everyone is even more isolated and lonely than they have ever been before and are therefore easier to radicalized! Can't wait for the new techno-pocalypse!
Contrary to headphones that streams music to my feet.
Like everything that this goon touches, this neuralink shit is a farce. The leads need to be placed very specifically, then they need to not move with brain growth. They move, and fail, and then musk doctors get to open your head up again to reset them. This shit is never going to be viable. With muskrat involved it is certainly to be a grift.
But, this company synchron has it figured out. No placing leads, no open brain surgery. Outpatient install, and adaptive. Thing becomes part of the vein wall.
If it plays music, it will play adverts
We will welcome hackers!!
Heroes we will need but won't deserve.
Megacorps will stream constant ads directly to your brainhole & cause pain if you don't consume enough - even a rickroll will be a big improvement from the dystopian reality.
"Hey remember that weird time everyone saw an augmented reality hallucination of Max Headroom for like 10 seconds?"
But when you don't pay the monthly fe, 24/7 Shitty flutes
When you DO pay: 24/7 mediocre flutes, with unskippable commercials.
So louder = brain fry?
Can we just not post about that man even in jest.
Neuralink will not be a thing, stop trying to make it a thing!
Nice to see Musk having some real wholesome inspirations.
What's next, recreating Torment Nexus from the famous novel "Don't Create Torment Nexus"? Though Elon brain chips is already Torment Nexus for all the monkeys who lived and died in insane pain in the development process.
Yay, now you can pay for sponsorships in a form of schizophrenia. I'd rather have actual schizophrenia, than whatever this is.
It's called Ohrwurm. Go cyberfuck yourself, smegma mine dwarf.
