Similar medical application is already in use, the cyberpunk VR version of the future w/ invasive mind control is the one that gives me creeps.
In the real version though it wouldn't allow mind control. It would allow an artificial layer to human brain function that would make peoples lives better.
In real version threads r inserted in cortex w/ not easily removable chip w/ wireless con to a device behind the ear. Tell me you don't c shit ab 2 happen, bc I c it raining.
I think that sill be awesome. I love seeing the progress we can make as a species. Cybernetics will be important as AI is rising up.
We've had artificially extended brain function, and mind control, since the invention of writing. Radio took it up a notch, as did TV.
Have you ever seen a person sticking a wire in their skull to power on any of those devices?
Absolutely granted that sufficient change in type, becomes an entirely new kind of thing.
The combo of always-on broadband, A/V tech, social media, classifiers & GNNs, cognitive psych not yet on par with Seldon's but getting better, and an uneducated public... is troubling
