Quote:
“If all goes well, there will be hundreds of people with Neuralinks
within a few years, maybe tens of thousands within five years,
millions within 10 years,” Mr Musk wrote on X in response to
Neuralink’s blog post.

The Prime study has focussed on people with quadriplegia, though Mr
Musk claims the technology will one day allow humans to merge with
artificial intelligence in order to augment brain and body
performance.

Well. I hope they protect their heads from cyber attacks by then.
Also, solar flares or EMP attacks could interfere with the implants.
If everybody is relying on implants, could their destruction turn
everybody into zombies?
Even now, if all the smartphones were suddenly destroyed, many people
would be pretty helpless.
