So, Neuralink got FDA approval for human trials, and a certain fanbase is VERY excited about that (lemmy.ml)

Does it work though?

I only ask this because Musk has been promising full self driving in Teslas "next year" for about a decade now, so any claims made should be taken with an enormous pinch of salt.

    By all appearances yes, it's an appreciable jump in the technology compared to current brain interfaces that are used for the immobile. They did a whole live tech demo with pigs as well as the people he's hired to work on it there. He has top level surgeons and neuroscientists all working on it who choose to be there. Oh and also it just passed FDA approval for testing in humans.

    It would be hard to bullshit this passed all the people involved. I have the belief it's quite a different situation compared to the continuing failure of FSD.

    Do you not understand people? It's easier to BS 10 people than 1. You just BS 100 and the 10 weakest people tell you who they are. People who want to work on brain interfaces want it to work. Whether it actually works or not depends on the real world, not the number of people involved.
