Yeah, I get that it's sort of an extended input device at the moment with no 'write back' to the brain and no data from brain to computer other than as an HID, but we have a thing called scope creep and people are rightly concerned about that.
Even if Neuralink doesn't extend the tech in that way, it only needs a nefarious agency (USA, Israel, China etc) to license the tech and extend it in a direction that gives 'them' more control or surveillance capabilities. After all, Einstein didn't nuke Japan or prosecute the cold war when he discovered that E=MC^2, did he? And nor did Oppenheimer.
BTW I've no idea what Optimus is and a search turns up a million things, none of which seem relevant. Got a link?
Fair points. What bothers me is the screeching about Musk and Neuralink and the transhumanist accusation while there are much worse actors out there. Musk, if he is a transhumanist, is not open about it. Google and basically the entire WEF is. You make the argument that Musk may develop technology that could be hijacked by a hostile entity. This is entirely reasonable. We can have the debate over whether the risk is worth the potential reward but your position is definitely valid.
Here’s a link to Optimus. I found one with the date of 4/20...lol.
Musks biggest stated concern is the declining birth rate. He has I think 5 kids and got Grimes pregnant so I think he’s definitely doing his part to save humanity. I don’t think that’s going to help when the useless eaters are drugged up and spend all day playing video games and having sex with their robot.
