Transhumanism is disgusting to me. I feel sorry for the animals Elon Musk is fucking with.

      What kind of anti-virus, or anti takeover, software does this thing need, if it's used telepathically?

      I just want to communicate with my cat. I don't want to hear all of you people in my head.

      You can do that without neuralink.

      Why do you seek the wisdom of the cat?

      It is disgusting. Elon should stick to cars and space.

      He says he wants to make it safe, but the device interacts with smartphones. And when someone asked if spike detection is hardware and software updatable (at 24:21), the specialist ignores that part of the question and just gives general information about the implementation. If it's updatable, that'd make it vulnerable. I wonder if that's why he evaded the question.

      Of course. I knew of an authentication-without-identification technology (from DelSecur, inc.) that was ABSOLUTELY UNHACKABLE. As a startup company, the owner was very flattered that the JCOS were so interested in that technology as to send representatives of each of their separate branch of the military to investigate. The guy was courted by these military for years, and courted, and courted, and courted... Until the guy died (I think?) or went bankrupt.

      The military themselves don't want unhackable systems. If there's a tech for that, they will simply make sure it gets forgotten or buried.

      Thing is, this is clearly possible without any implants.
