Welcome back to Geek time Advance. This is Brad. How are you doing Lulu?
Hi, Brad, I’m doing fine, and I’m ready for our talk about Brain Chipping.
All right. So I thought we'd start off by talking about Neuralink, which is Elon Musk’s company. He is creating brain chips that people can use. The whole idea for him is to use like these chips to control devices really like IoT devices or to help people with their motor skills, their cognitive issues.
Yeah, just to remind our audience. IoT is internet of things we actually talked about this “物联网”. So it's like all of these things that are connected within a network, right? So using brain chipping, I guess you can control all of those devices.
Yeah, so rather than having to say serious name or to any of your home systems, you can just rather than say something, you can think it, and you can control it that way.
Yeah, so I think I want my room to be warmer and immediately my brain, this chip in my brain will help control the temperature of the room because it's linked with my smart aircon.
Exactly.
That sort of idea.
These chips aren't just meant for controlling IoT devices. They're also used for helping people with medical issues. They can help people who have problems with motor skills, help people with vision problems or other issues with senses, whether it's hearing or anything like that.
And he's already started to do trials not on humans, but on monkeys.
So human trials haven't started yet.
He is in the process of getting those human trials going. He's accepting applications, but there's a little bit of issue, because some of the monkeys in the trials didn't exactly behave to the way they would. Some of them got sick, because of the brain chips and so may not be ready for human trials.
Yeah. To be honest, I know everyone talking about Elon Musk, especially people who really, really love him, really look up to him. There was obviously they always say he's such a visionary, he's a man with vision. But the other way of looking at it is so progressive in a way that sometimes I think that there's a lot of ethical issues, ethical concerns to be hammered out before going further whatever his vision is.
Mhm. Yeah, you have to wonder how this is gonna affect people. Are people actually going to be able to maintain their sanity? Are they gonna be healthy? There's a lot of issues that can come because of this. And so we do have to make sure that people aren't going to get sick after we put a chip in their brain.
