As someone who suffers daily from a traumatic brain injury 5 years ago that’s caused me to become physically disabled and cognitively declined, I’m super excited about this.
But what about the invisible spyware/adware(/mind control???) they’ll be putting in without anyone knowing by using threads and components embedded inside the chip?
Brain computer interfaces are an exciting field for helping people with health issues that we currently cannot help with. Nueralink aren’t the only business working on them though so if, as seems very likely, they are overhyped and ineffective as a way to chase a good market value for another of Elon Musk’s ventures, there will still be other organisations that do better work.

I’m kinda excited about the technology, but very pessimistic when looking at the way our current technology is used.

Why should they hide it? They just sell it with ads and everyone who wants one has to endure them.

Hey, I just realised that the link I shared was a response to my comment not yours and so you may not have seen it.
This is a recent article about a successful brain implant that has been completed by a different organisation to help a paralysed man gain some amount of control of body parts he previously couldn’t control. https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/ai-brain-chip-paralysed-trial-b2386217.html
