What is Neuralink?

What are your intentions, friend? What are you trying to do?

I'm not trying to do anything, I have no bad intentions. I just wanted to help.

***

Yes, can we really understand who has what intentions?

People think in their own heads and it is not possible to understand what they intend to do from the outside.

We try to show our intentions more through our behavior. Or we say what we think directly.

For example, if we want to help someone with something, we say let me help. And we say it with such a tone of voice that if the other person really needs help, they will understand that we are sincere from our tone of voice and will gladly accept our offer of help if they want it.

Sometimes no matter what you say, some people prefer to do it on their own. 

In such cases, I do not recommend being too insistent. It is important to stay within the limits of courtesy.

If that is what he/she thinks is appropriate, if he/she does not want help, let him/her do it himself/herself. If he is in dire need, he will ask you to help him anyway.

***

But let's say it's not about helping, but about really knowing a person's intentions. 

Do you think there's a scientific way to do that?

Is there a way to read the thoughts that pass through the human brain?

Actually, this is not possible yet. But I think it will be possible in the near future.

Of course, I am talking about the latest technology developed by Elon Musk's NeuraLink company.

There were some studies before, but I think Elon Musk was the first one to enter this field commercially.

Elon Musk recently announced Telepathy on his former Twitter, now X, which he now owns!

What is Telepathy?

A chip implanted in the brain! 

Since animal experiments have been successful in implanting a chip in the brain before, they have now started experiments on humans.

So what does this chip do?

It communicates with the neurons in the brain, and through thought, it is used to operate a number of devices that are wirelessly connected to the chip. 

In the near future, for example, we will think of turning on the lights in the room and the chip will detect this thought and turn on the switch of the lamps in the house via wireless connection! Of course, the switch will already have a wireless connection protocol compatible with this chip. So such details in our homes will also be changed!

Or we will be able to type whatever we want on the keyboard of our computer without moving our hands.

The late Hawking just came to my mind. If this technology had been developed when he was alive, Hawking probably wouldn't have had so much difficulty in communicating with people.

In fact, his method of communication was not bad at all, but it was still quite primitive compared to this technology.

Yes, indeed, for now, the reason for the development of this neuro chip is said to be to benefit patients who cannot move their bodies for certain reasons, such as paralysis.

Then it is said that the chip will allow you to control some devices with your brain waves.

Could someone take control of you tomorrow with such a chip?

Maybe, maybe!

But for now, the chip developed aims to allow you to control certain devices with your brain waves.

It must be said that the state of science is astonishing, but this is true, and it seems that a cure for such patients will probably be found soon with a tiny chip.

Of course, we are still at the beginning. 

An operation to implant a chip in a human has just been performed and it is said that the neurons in the patient's brain have started to show the first reactions even though they have not fully communicated with the chip. 

So this operation is said to be promising.

So what awaits us next?

Naturally, there will be people who will approach the subject from very different angles. 

There will be those who will say that this is unethical, there will be those who will say that something is being done that is forbidden by religion, and there will be those who will say that this is a very dangerous development for humanity in the future.

But there will probably be no shortage of people who look at the positive side of things.

It's great, you can make whatever you want to do with your brain waves, from where you are sitting, with your brain waves, with the gadgets at home and so on! 

You don't need to get up from your seat! You won't need to move a muscle!

Where's that remote? Where the hell did you put it?

Can you imagine a TV today without a remote?

When I was little, we used to get up and change the channels on the TV. For a long time there was only one channel. TRT!

Then private channels came out and we had the chance to watch different programs on many channels.

The remote controls were invented later.

Now we don't even turn on the television at home.

Technology is advancing and human beings are much lazier than before.

Especially for those who don't believe in sweat and toil, this can be another way out! 

Why should I get up and do it myself? I think it should be done and it will be done on its own!

***

Can you imagine the future when this business becomes widespread?

New professions will probably emerge.

Even the jobs of housewives will probably be different.

What did you do today, dear?

Don't ask, my brain is like a boiler. I was really tired today. I ironed all day. 

Imagine trying to get that idiot iron to do work. He never listens to me. 

Especially when he's ironing your shirts. What's this iron's problem with you? 

What's wrong with me? You can't get him to do the work! You need to think a little more gently! He doesn't like rudeness!

I don't know, for some reason it has trouble ironing your shirts, it never listens. Try it yourself, maybe he'll listen to you!

I think ironing is the most difficult household chore for women. 

Maybe the first thing that needs to be built is an artificially intelligent iron that can connect with a chip!

***

Just like that, perhaps tomorrow there will be conflicts between humans and artificial intelligence. 

Artificial intelligences, or digital consciousnesses as I call tomorrow's level of technology, will perhaps not listen to their human masters who are supposed to listen to them. 

At least they will have their own whims, perhaps. Do you think there will be some of them who will trip?

Humans, on the other hand, may be in telepathic communication with the digital conscious robots in partnership with the chips implanted in their brains, without even needing to speak under normal conditions.

Isn't that why Elon Musk named this new product Telepathy?

Telepathy, communication through thought!

Of course, I think this name was given to attract people's attention to the subject. A marketing method!

Isn't that how this guy got rich? He knows marketing very well.

But marketing is not the only thing he can do. He has crazy ideas and he works really hard to make them successful. 

I saw a video where they filmed Elon Musk's life.

Well, you could say he's a little bit lucky.

After all, one way or another, this issue of implanting chips in the human brain was a topic that someone was bound to get their hands on one day. 

Elon Musk seems to be the first one.

***

Of course, it is also possible that there could be more dramatic consequences. 

Tomorrow, when this issue is successfully realized, millions of people who say, "Let's get a chip so that I can do my work without lifting a finger," may turn into robots themselves.

Even people who are just gossiping may think that why bother with our chin, let's gossip telepathically. And I don't think there are few potential customers who think that way.

Besides, what won't politicians who can manipulate the masses even today without a chip in their heads do tomorrow with the opportunities that these chips will provide? 

There will be politicians in power who will encourage chip implantation as a state policy just for this reason.

Then the easily manipulated masses of tomorrow may be formed just because of this.

Of course, this is the disaster scenarios part of the article. We can also call them conspiracy theories.

***

Of course, fear is futile, what is meant to be, will be, and maybe this really is the fate of humanity.

Let us look at this development from the positive side. 

Let's hope that this development, which promises great hope especially for patients who have limited mobility today, will be beneficial to patients who really need it. 

Maybe tomorrow such patients will have the chance to move an attached bionic arm with a wireless connection. Or can you imagine a visually impaired person starting to see through cameras attached to their eyes?

Even all these issues are very positive aspects of this development.

So this development can actually be very useful for us humans and we can actually call it one of the first steps of a new era.

Good luck to all of us!

Let me end this article by saying stay with science.

Love and respect to everyone from Moscow
