    Do you know how much faster I'll be able to spread communist propaganda if I don't have to use language to do it? If I could just beam the thoughts and feelings directly into other people's brains?

    Musk has not thought through the implications of giving the proletariat the means to become a truly single minded collective. What a terrible fucking idea for the ruling class that would be, the entire proletariat just beaming their thoughts to one another as some sort of gestalt. The ruling class would get crushed in a matter of months.

        That's fine it'll be backwards engineered and open projects will follow anyway once the tech is out there.

      Literally the core idea of proletarian socialism. The complete dissolution of physical and mental labor and a gestalt democratic body.

        Right? They'd be fucked. The collective mindset would spread like wildfire in any kind of system where people could truly get to the emotions people hold and honestly feel and empathise with one another.

        This technology is not a friend of the bourgeoisie. The only thing they can hope for with machine brain interfaces is uplifting the mind with digital improvements, if they give us anything like the ability to project thoughts, feelings and emotions to one another they will be unwittingly handing over a tool to create a proletarian hivemind and absolutely fucking themselves. I seriously do not think he has thought through the implications of such a technology at all.

        Individualism RELIES on people being.... Individual. Shared thoughts goes utterly against that.

          This is what Evangelion missed out when they talked about the Human Instrumentality Project nullifying individual consciousness to weave all of humanity into a singular tapestry.

          You have to share it with the incels, fash, klans, and Italians.

    Will teh world please stop platforming his bad ideas? It's always an incredibly convoluted way to over-engineer something that can be handled simply. Why the fuck would anyone need brainchips, a personal car tunnel, or a colony on Mars?
