Elon Musk’s Brain Chip: A Technological Miracle or a Warning Sign?

A man who is paralyzed from the neck down is able to control a computer caster purely with his mind.

Neurolink and other brain chip companies have been quick to focus on the medical potential.

Musk likens it to telepathy, but is it really the superpower he says it is? Or is it a marketing term to hide the true implications of what this technology could mean?.

Elon Musk and others like him have in mind.

We're already a Cyborg to some degree, right? Because you've got your phone and your laptop glasses, you might expect it to not offer much to able bodied individuals.

The International Monetary Fund has warned that 40% of all jobs around the world will be impacted by AI .

We risk a world of people made Dumber because machinists do the thinking for them.

Dictatorships are happy to exploit the tools of control that technologies give them.
