That thing's going to have to be completely open source (except for the manufacturing methods), and probably will be. I'd rather he work on it than Bill Gates too.
I don't think that will happen during our lifetime, as the tech still has a long way to go for the benefit vs risk to be high enough for it to be appealing to healthy people or make ordinary people fall behind "chipped" ones. First, it will be used as almost like an upgrade to deep-brain-stimulation which is already used to treat certain conditions like depression. Then, I think they'll try to implement it to treat people with certain disabilities, like blindness. After that, it'll be far enough along that using it to augment the lives of otherwise healthy people could realistically be looked at.
No matter who inevitably makes it, we'll have to have one. It'd be like deciding between becoming a mildly retarded chimpanzee or continuing life as a human. And the non-chip alternative would be letting AI decide our lives for us.
He’s looking to cure autism and paraplegics. I tend to believe him after watching interviews directly from the source, but hey this is America you’re welcome to your opinion! At least we are for now haha
He'll appear even more intelligent to you, once your brain has his implant in it.

But, ultimately, you concede that we will all have to have one?
How do you define, 'Hobson's Choice'?!

Speak for yourself, Bobo. My brain works just fine.
Like I said, hobson's choice!
I don't have to choose between continuing humanity and anything else!
Your last sentence is pure nonsense.
I agree it could be used for bad but I think he truly has good intentions if you watch him explain it.
Sounds kinda like a beastly mark to me

I don't need to watch him explain it - I get a direct download.
What elon thinks I think, I think, I think.
