  • The Race to Put Brain Implants in People Is Heating Up

    Jump

  • I'm sure at some point in the future someone will do bad things with every piece of technology, as they have with every piece of technology so far.

    That's no reason to be upset about advances in new technology

  • Blinken calls out other countries for not demanding Hamas surrender and ‘stop hiding behind civilians’

  • I understand quite well how terrorist organizations work

    How do you think Hamas wins this war, or survives it with any degree of their operating infrastructure intact? If Hamas is non-viable going forward, Iran will just send the money elsewhere, meaning Hamas ceases to exist even if they survive.

    In what universe are dead martyrs better than living ones, assuming you're trying to galvanize people into supporting your organization?

    Perhaps you just meant "no sane human being joins a terror org so of course they won't surrender" in which case yeah that does describe the reality.

  • Unlikely. These implants require far less in terms of outside-the-body tech.

    Also those people were blind, which is a whole other issue because you need external feedback processing.

    Its novelty is that it doesn’t require open brain surgery. Instead, it’s implanted through a slit at the base of the neck and threaded up through the jugular vein into the motor cortex—the part of the brain that directs movement. The device is powered by a small battery pack placed under the skin of the chest. Synchron has implanted 10 patients, including six in a US feasibility trial supported by the Brain Initiative.

    Being up to "cure" paralysis is a great thing.

  • Hamas should surrender unconditionally because there is a 0% chance of them winning this war and a negligible chance of them surviving this war.

    That's when you surrender.

  • Federal judge orders documents naming Jeffrey Epstein's associates to be unsealed

    Jump

  • And yet your take here has nothing to do with the reality of Epstein's crimes nor his suicide. It has nothing to do with the actual suicides passed off as conspiracies.

  • I also responded to your "points"

    The downvotes are just "rich people bad" shit, same as ever.

  • He doesn't need to name names, because they have his computers, documents, etc. This conspiracy theory is as full of holes as QAnon shit.

  • What is your unpopular flim opinion

    Jump

  • I'm a huge space nerd. I did also appreciate the visuals and realistic portrayal of time dilation, and should have noted that (though it may have diluted my opinion a bit?). I just didn't like the actual movie itself.

  • Interstellar is a terrible movie that doesn't say or do anything special and I still don't understand why anyone thinks it's so amazing.

    I did really like the robot guy though.

  • The salaries of Wikimedia executives are sparking an online debate about tech sector wages

    Jump

  • Also the CEO makes $400k if anyone just wanted that information. I had to listen to 60% of that dudes video to get to that point.

    This doesn't seem insane to me. It's high for the average joe, but it's not competitive at all with other big tech CEO total comp.

  • Their Bionic Eyes Are Now Obsolete and Unsupported

    Jump

  • Considering the already existing issues with inactive implants, maybe electronics shouldn’t be allowed in implants until they can demonstrate reliability.

    if someone is willing to pay $150k to see blurry grey dots I don't see how it's anyone's business but there's to ban that.

    This is a pretty wild take you're making here. You're essentially telling anyone who has received a deep-brain implant for Parkinson's to go kick rocks.

  • Right. The really early oughts, when trolling was still a real thing, were so radically different that it's hard to explain to people these days

  • Epic win: Jury decides Google has illegal monopoly in app store fight

    Jump

  • Epic never sued for monetary damages; it wants the court to tell Google that every app developer has total freedom to introduce its own app stores and its own billing systems on Android

    This seems like a poor choice instead of monetary damages. I have the Epic Games Launcher free game downloader for games I forget I own. I'm very unlikely to start using Epic's services over Google's.

    I'd have taken the money and run
