We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
But the game is rigged and he can never win. At least he has a banana smoothie
Get him to play CSGO next!
Shit is pretty nuts, interesting where this tech will be in the coming years.

Yeah they might have stumbled upon a way to double work productivity. It was the banana smoothie all along.
Yeah, train him to kill on CSGO, then unleash them on to the world and give them guns.

imagine getting killed and you hear a monkey screaming on the mic
Soon, they'll be able to do in real life what they did to Batgirl in the comics and staple probes into people's spinal column to afford them use of their legs.
I'm confused. How is he controlling the Pong game? Eye tracking? I don't see anything hooked up to the monkey that would be reading it's brain... or this neuralink can read the brain waves without any device attached?
That was my takeaway from this.
This is very impressive, greater social impacts aside.
One thing I just realized may be an issue, how do you now have a delay between imagining taking an action and doing it? You can't play out touching something in your mind without actually doing the action? In the case of thought to text would it come out without a filter?
Monkey's Paw will have a new meaning.
EDIT: Me taking a shit on Neuralink:

The device is implanted under the skin of his skull. It has the size of a big coin and they have to cut out part of the skull. Here's a couple of images:
Ah yes, but can he get them conneted to thousands of keyboards to write the greatest novel known to man?
Well, there it is then. I guess I could have googled it. Thanks!
Neurotechnology is the biggest trend no one's aware of. It's advancing at a shocking rate. It's probably going to be the "world wide web" of the 2020s, that fledging technology that explodes as time goes on that no one saw coming.
Beyond Neuralink, we also have Kernel and Stentrode:

And I know Openwater is still active, but they haven't announced anything recently.
What's funny is that science fiction completely dropped the ball here. I mean it's fairly rare to find any sci-fi that shows off near-future neurotech. Whenever it comes to control and manipulation of digital objects, we have a tendency to default to voice and gesture recognition, and my hypothesis is because they're "easier" to understand as well as less esoteric— we tend to see anything involving brain-controlled technology/mechanisms as just a little bit too "magical." The asymptote of capability we reached with EEG didn't help either, so even when people learn about neurotech, 99/100 they're learning about EEG and its stark limitations rather than something like MEG, fNIRS, or invasive measures. Considering science fiction is how the layman learns about the bleeding edge, I'll put money down that, by 2030, we're going to find the dearth of discussion about neurotechnology on the eve of its explosion to be downright embarrassing, akin to someone saying that humankind wasn't going to achieve powered flight for a million years circa 1902.

Brain implant allows mind control of computers in first human trials
Human trials for a first-of-a-kind device designed to treat the brain via electrical stimulation have brought some very promising results. Called Stentrode, the implant has the potential to treat a wide range of neurological conditions, but in these very first trials, has brought about significant…

I'd think it'd be more fun from a user perspective to have trigger other than hand movement signals and make it feel more like psychic power.

User output will be at that level, but it's my understanding that sensory input is the limiting factor. From what I understand this is the cusp of an explosion in control interface, but not to the degree of the internet where we see an explosion of experience availability. Safely reading from the brain is far easier than safely writing.
Animals are way more intelligent than most give them credit for. They are awesome and we should treat them better.
Very fitting if you've played the game, since Elon sounds right up the same alley as
the Hypnospace founder who overworks his team and then pushes broken software to everyone's units that causes a bunch of injuries and kills several people.
I'm slowly losing my dexterity to Parkinsons so a breakthrough in this tech would be a lifesaver.
Something about this seems off-putting, like from a game or something can't put my finger on it but I half expected the money to make a break for it.
