Ask DARPA, nothing Elon presented wasnt already in the mind of the people working on this problem 5 years ago. Imagine was can be learned when you can throw a pile of human bodies at the problem until things start making sense.

What they've done so car is made a semi practical version of existing technology. Which will allow them and others to get the massive amounts of data needed to write the software. So the implant can then actually do something.

massive amounts of unstructured data /= workable mechanistic theory that can be used for engineering

until CSniggers learn this there will be no serious improvements anywhere

They've made something significantly better than what has been used in the past, but what's been used in the past fucking sucks balls. They're basically showing off a very basic prototype and using it to advertise people to come work for them to make it better. breddy good idea desu.

You know how computers are a general purpose device, as in anyone can make software and hardware for them? Well Neuralink is the same thing, but for interfacing with the body. The goal is to allow people to make their own software and hardware that can interface with the body, thereby enabling all kinds of things.

As a programmer, I have to admit it sounds cool if I could do something like get the video stream from your eyes or something.
But I'm still very skeptical of the actual feasibility of this entire thing. Sounds too popsci to be true.

pic related is probably the only real thing that will come out of neuralink, along with other analogous functions like restoring sensation, restoring vision, hearing or removing pain, note how connecting the motor neurons together are almost a trivial task, the main thing holding us back there is just the technology, whereas what is holding us back in analysing higher brain function is the actual neurobiology of higher brain functions
almost certainly we will not get to the level where you are uploading your brain or downloading anything into your brain or doing telepathy or whatever other dumbass scifi shit musk is promoting, before we somehow obtain a way to in vivo measure the activity of individual neurons in a brain.
