You're right; from my previous comment: "Blackrock Neurotech has been doing similar invasive BCI's since 2004 (Utah Array). They've also had impressive cursor control demo's up for quite some time now, and have a slanted variant of the Utah Array which can stimulate the brain and emulate physical touch. Invasive BCI's at this level break down after a few years (thus repeat surgeries are inherently necessary), and retraining usually needs to happen every few months.

They extensively talked about how heat damages the brain. The battery inside is super small and the rate of charging not big, it isn't something that heats up much.

It's an fda approved implant.. do your own research, or use common sense, that'll answer most if not every question you have.

Would they really miss something so obvious?" And if your answer is yes, you're hopeless and just want to be skeptic for no logical reason.

I mean that’s not really how it works. It can’t read your thoughts, and only basic motor controls are possible with it right now. It is a massive leap to actually understand any thoughts you have and to turn that into any useful data, even then you would have to train it to understand these thoughts because there is no one size fits all solution.

@@Makowako_ Ah and you determined all this how exactly? I mean even your assertions about it not reading thoughts but instead just motor controls... It kind of betrays that you don't understand this field nearly enough. I also clearly stated "15 years" til consumers in the first sentence of the comment you're replying to, so "right now" doesn't mean that much does it. I was quite clearly, in my mind at least, making the point that because technology to this degree can read your electrical impulses to this degree, and tune itself, which is something you seem confused about as that's the mechanism to translate random impulses into thought-based commands, this tech will inevitably become more accurate by the time it hits consumer markets. Again, my main point in the very first sentence. But that's a bit too difficult to understand, hey.

​@@jrodd13 I agree that we are the same humans, just under different circumstances. But the difference in circumstances (especially in our case with modern tech and the internet) also make up for a difference in the average level of intellect, wisdom, critical thinking, adaptability, etc. Our generation grew in a world with better education, more accumulated knowledge, better environments, more accessible communication and information, and an overall crazier world (which requires and creates more adaptability). So our generation will adapt faster than the previous gen did.

Since their invention, a lot of safety mechanisms were developed, which made the explosions of devices that aren't Samsung Galaxy Note 7 an extremely rare sight.

Sounds like literal brain rot

Yes, the signals that actually raise your hand are completely distinct, it’s not really reading your thoughts, you teach it what signals your brain makes when you want to do something by doing it repeatedly and telling it what you are doing.

The being hungry one is actually kinda realistic, but it is nowhere near possible for it to understand such abstract thoughts. You already have to train it to understand basic motor functions
