China Has a Controversial Plan for Brain-Computer Interfaces
China Has a Controversial Plan for Brain-Computer Interfaces
China's brain-computer interface technology is catching up to the US. But it envisions a very different use case: cognitive enhancement.
When Elon Musk tortures monkeys to death with brain chips it's innovation, but when China does it it's "controversial" and "concerning"
NGL I think it should all brain chips should fall under "concerning" and "controversial"
The artificial eyes that existed in the past come to mind.
For those unfamiliar, when the companies that made them went under support for the devices vanished and the people who got them were left with broken and defunct hardware still stuck in their heads
When Musk does anything it’s controversial and concerning.

Oh shut up most people shit all over musk
Most people in our social circles. Trust me, I spoke with random people about Musk and his brain chips and they thought he was a genius. Elon's tech is years behind the research he stole the ideas from.
OK tankie
What do I care for your suffering? Pain, even agony, is no more than information before the senses, data fed to the computer of the mind. The lesson is simple: you have received the information, now act on it. Take control of the input and you shall become master of the output
The Warrior's bland acronym, MMI, obscures the true horror of this monstrosity. Its inventors promise a new era of genius, but meanwhile unscrupulous power brokers use its forcible installation to violate the sanctity of unwilling human minds. They are creating their own private army of demons.
The way they explain the use case of cognitive enhancements it doesn't sound as controversial as the title implies. Unless I misunderstood it.
Did you not read it was China doing it? That's all that's needed to portrait anything as concerning, threatening and/or controversial
To be clear China's government is terrible, but they could literally discover the cure for all diseases and make dogs live as long as their owners and it would still be reported in negative light because it's China and not the USA
imagine saying that US civilian science is not linked to military research with a straight face 🤡
But Margaret Kosal, associate professor of international affairs at Georgia Institute of Technology, says there’s a key difference between how the US and China approach BCI research. “The US has not explicitly linked our civilian science with our military research,” she says. “China’s strategy fundamentally links the military and the commercial, and that is why there is concern.”
This is rad, especially the non invasive BCIs that enhance your brain.
