I can too. I put my hand on the input device and the signals my brain sends translates that into the movement of the mouse to a specific location on the screen.
Not to brag or anything, but I actually upvoted this comment using nothing but my brain waves attached to an input device
I just used my nose.
And my axe!
Yeah, but you’re probably not a quadriplegic or have ALS.

The old stuff I saw around twenty years ago that was actually good was pretty invasive. I think I saw research on Duke doing this with monkeys around 2004 or so. Also I didn’t say it was revolutionary, I’m rejecting the belittling of any advances in technology just because I have the ability to click a mouse with my fully able body.

The end goal isn’t just to create a brain-controlled mouse. When I’m talking about criticizing advancements because of what they can currently do this is part of my problem. Technology in this vein could be the precursor to mechanically regaining the ability to use your own limbs. People equate justifiably disliking Elon and specific issues with Neuralink to deriding technology in general.

Did you read my comment?
Yeah
Just to be clear what Elon musk announced was not an advancement in the space of BIC. He is touting a pre-existing technology as an advancement.
Yeah. He said they were controlling a mouse. it’s an advancement for his team, not for BCIs in general. I saw the video. He didn’t even sound that excited about it.
Should be very concerned about Elon’s role in [this] space.
This is the part I agree with, but it’s not where the criticism and jokes in this thread were directed even though he’s the biggest reason why people don’t like Neuralink.
Can this ability be disabled remotely, if the patient doesn’t pay whatever subscription fee is attached?
Excellent question!
There is no fee, but you may black out only to awaken surrounded by the bodies of political and personal enemies of Elmo. Its called Super Happy Fun Mode.
With stuff in your butt
You forgot the little details
If it doesn’t continue to receive software updates/support I would almost hope it can be disabled. Like what happened with that bionic eye company recently.
Subscription fees? They can stream advertisements right into the brain. Best when sleeping.
Hello, and thank you for your interest in our product!
To reduce the go-to-market time, our engineering team focused on the core product first. This means we don’t have a way to remotely disable the implant itself. But don’t worry about incurring additional costs - we have specialized teams to disable the patient while our engineers are hard at work implementing this much-requested feature.
Best regards,
Neuralink support
Bullshit, if it’s coming from Elon.
Elon Musk tells lies because he’s an ugly man baby
Are you negging him cos you want him to be your man baby?
Yeah I want him to suckle my teat
“…unfortunately, they can no longer move anything else.”
Show it then.
You have to sign up for his onlyfans to see.
The first neuralink patient, on the other hand, could only drool and void.
FULL SELF DEFECATING
(I’m sorry, but that fruit was hanging lower than Musk’s credibility.)

I can do that with a cheap piece of shit novelty toy I got in high school and it doesn’t have to be surgically installed into my brain; it’s just a hat.
Yeah, but then you have to limit your fashion selection! Imagine restricting yourself to wearing a hat over some silly fear of death.
When I click my mouse my finger is connected to my mind too.
Nuh uh, I’m pretty sure he said ‘mouse’, not cursor. So, that could mean two things.
