If you can’t beat em, join em Neuralink mission statement
@elonmusk So who gets to sign up for human trials? How are you going to determine eligibility?
@IheartTesla No easy way to answer this in a tweet, but helping with dire brain injuries is our first priority. Details Aug 28.
@PPathole @IheartTesla For sure. This is both great & terrifying. Everything we’ve ever sensed or thought has been electrical signals. The early universe was just a soup of quarks & leptons. How did a very small piece of the Universe start to think of itself as sentient?
@flcnhvy @elonmusk @PPathole @IheartTesla Sounds like it may ruin the possibility of a meritocracy, and instead turn into who can pay for the most brain electrodes
@thatt3slaguy @flcnhvy @PPathole @IheartTesla Earning power post augmentation would easily pay for itself (if that’s even necessary). This is the best thing I can think of to ensure that collective human will decides the future.
@elonmusk @thatt3slaguy @flcnhvy @PPathole @IheartTesla Likely true for the first generation of augmentors. But what prevents first gen augmentors from 'pulling the ladder up' to prevent subsequent gen augmentors from succeeding? (This happened in the 1920's with oil and cars and is happening now in the 2020's with social media)
@elonmusk @thatt3slaguy @flcnhvy @PPathole @IheartTesla Can we retrain people's professions?
@elonmusk @thatt3slaguy @flcnhvy @PPathole @IheartTesla My car is having a brain transplant today.
@elonmusk @thatt3slaguy @flcnhvy @PPathole @IheartTesla You have to join them to beat them. You’ve tried to warn
@elonmusk @flcnhvy @PPathole @IheartTesla Could neuralink be used to train the Tesla NN how to drive?
@elonmusk @flcnhvy @PPathole @IheartTesla So will you be able to finance the initial procedure? Or maybe work for neuralink for a couple months or something? How can people of poorer backgrounds get the initial capital to get the electrodes put in?
@elonmusk @thatt3slaguy @flcnhvy @PPathole @IheartTesla There are about 4% of US population that believe world is run by reptilians. There are flat earthers. Should we let these ppl decide what is best for humanity? How would you solve this problem? Augmentation would make ppl reason better & accept facts ?
@elonmusk @thatt3slaguy @flcnhvy @PPathole @IheartTesla I just want people to be smarter, bless you! 😂😂😂
@elonmusk @thatt3slaguy @flcnhvy @PPathole @IheartTesla Humanity as a whole playing god sounds like a very interesting prospect
