The person has fully recovered and is now able to control a basic computer input device with its mind, the billionaire has announced
Elon Musk has announced that the first patient to receive the Neuralink brain chip has fully recovered from the operation to implant it and is already capable of interacting with a computer using thought.
The billionaire initially reported that the chip was successfully implanted late last month, after Neuralink received approval for human trial recruitment in September. The surgery involved using a specially-designed robot to place the computer chip – which is about the size of a coin with ultra-thin flexible threads – in the region of the brain which controls the intention to move, Neuralink has explained. The chip is then used to record and transmit brain signals wirelessly to an app that decodes movement intention.
In an update during a Spaces event on Monday, Musk stated that “progress is good” and that the patient has made “a full recovery with no ill effects that we are aware of.” Additionally, he claimed that the unnamed person implanted with the Neuralink chip is now capable of moving a computer mouse around the screen “by just thinking.”
Neuralink is now trying to get as many precise mouse movements and left and right mouse button clicks as possible from the patient in order to have the anonymous volunteer click, drag and hold objects, Musk added.
The startup has claimed that the ultimate goal of the project, dubbed the PRIME Study, is to develop a “fully-implantable, wireless brain-computer interface” that would at first grant people the ability to control a computer cursor or keyboard using their thoughts alone and later make way for groundbreaking treatments for people suffering from various physical disabilities such as paralysis and blindness, as well as illnesses like obesity, autism, depression, and schizophrenia.
Musk has also argued that humanity needs to develop new forms of interacting with computers and processing information in order to ensure the survival of the human race in a world dominated by artificial intelligence.
In an interview with Joe Rogan in 2018, the billionaire suggested that aside from curing disabilities, Neuralink could also one day allow humans to communicate without using words and possibly achieve a state of “symbiosis” with AI, which he expects to be ubiquitous in the future.

“Neuralink could also one day allow humans to communicate without using words and possibly achieve a state of “symbiosis” with AI, which he expects to be ubiquitous in the future.”
While I do not doubt that technology is heading this direction, take heed lest you all.
The Lord says He is spirit and we must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
The world had adulterated many words, the rainbow, and even human gender. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior and receive the Holy Spirit, our Spirit becomes one with His. THAT is the symbiosis we need… to be one with God… not to be one with man made biased AI systems.
*fall”… not all
DR , it may have been predictive to say, lest you ALL FALL. Amen! I do not believe any of this A.i. will bring about further worship of JESUS, have to say it feels like it’s more for THE OTHER GUY!
I was captured by the words you spoke of in your comment, D R, those words I’ve also noticed have been used to create a divisional issue within our minds. That thought is reminiscent of what Morpheus spoke to Neo when he said, ‘The matrix is a prison (created) for your mind’. That prison is more insidious, deceptive and secretive than anything we’ve ever witnessed on earth throughout all of history, IMHO. Could it be that there is no way we as Christians can overcome this battle for our minds?
Truly then, the Only One who overcame it all will be The Only Way we will make it through this matrix of ‘lies, damn lies and statistics’* that are used against us
I believe that ‘prison of the mind’ is more than a metaphor but is the most factual , poignant example of how to:
-not get out of the matrix, and
-how to recognize the holographic nature of our world around us
But know this: ‘unless you be converted and become like a little child, you will never see the kingdom (of heaven)… but what does that mean in practical terms? What can we do? How are we to walk this out? The only answer I see is from His Word, once again, namely ‘Come out of her, My people, so that you do not share in her sins which soon are about to fall upon HER*** ‘ (emphasis mine and if you don’t recognize where that scripture comes from, perhaps you can search the Word in order to be instant in season and out… selah! )
*a quote attributed to Benjamin Disraeli by Mark Twain
*** HER – who is the ‘she’ in this verse of scripture? I’m truly asking here, that’s not (necessarily) a rhetorical question, even though I do have a much clearer understanding of who I believe ‘SHE’ is after reading Cynthia Chung’s article, How Panama became the SKYNET for Orwellian Totalitarianism in the Americas’…
– PS. Obviously this comment has gone beyond the scope of commenting to your comment, D R, however, it’s early Monday morning and I’ve had all weekend to think and pray and ask for direction of our next move , the move of The Spirit, which He promised when He said, ‘Come out of here, and we can safely presume that ‘when the enemy comes in like a flood, I will raise up a standard against him’…
Ps 32:6 Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You in a time when You may be found;
Surely in a flood of great waters they will not reach him.
I have sunk in deep mire, and there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and a flood overflows me. (Ps 69:2)
Therefore, our prayers should be: “May the flood of water not overflow me Nor the deep swallow me up, Nor the pit shut its mouth on me” (69:5), for we do not want to be like those who have not taken heed to the warning of His Words to come out of her, such that we have become complacent and asleep at the wheel of this out of control train (about to) hurtling over the cliff into the abyss…
5 You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep; (Ps 90)
A quick question for you discerning Bereans: if this is a hologram as most assuredly this is, as evidenced by ‘true’ science { for more evidence of this fact, watch ‘What The Bleep Do We Know’, the movie } , that hologram is manipulated and controlled by our ‘collective’ thoughts which we project and which we can ‘channel’ (read my previous comment on how words have enslaved our minds for context concerning this word, channel, and truly all or any words painting an adverse picture in your minds, our minds, such that it’s more pertinent than ever that we ‘come out of her, My people’)
Therefore, the 100th monkey is all we need to know and understand to change the reality of this world aka this ‘hologram’ around us. Selah
