Elon Musk says Neuralink implanted wireless brain chip

Been asked to comment on this A LOT already. So, here's my thoughts on the matter

TL:DR 90% hype, 10% borrowed substance

Energy4All have created a video about community energy featuring me (the woman in the green dress).

They would really like as many people as possible to share the video and complete the questionnaire on community offshore wind. Can you help?

It's 2030. Twitter, now named Xtube Premium Pro Plus, is run by 5 employees in a bunker on Elon Musk's compound. The gaming / video / live streaming / podcast / NFT platform boasts dozens upon dozens of users every month.

The bunker doors open.
It's Musk. He is wearing a panther fur coat.

"I've got it," he rasps."We should be a microblogging platform."

4/5 employees cheer. Not Harold. He has seen too much.

Oh, FFS Elmo

OK, so, a few things

A) the brain size/birth canal thing is an evolved trait. A c-section won't mean your brain then expands like an errant balloon

B) Human brain size has little to do with intelligence

C) The largest brain on record belonged to the inmate of a 19th century Dutch Asylum

Basically, of Muskrat wants to go around insisting he has a big brain, let him? It's nowhere near the 'accomplishment' he thinks it is.

"Excuse me," the knight called, "but do you by any chance know where we can find another twelve dragons?"

The dragon laughed. "You cannot stop me stealing your sheep, yet you seek more of my kind?"

"Oh, we will take you to court. We just need to find a jury of your peers."
