There is no way I am putting proprietary hardware and especially proprietary software into my brain.
A blind/paralyzed person might feel a bit differently about that. Healthy people getting brain implants for fun is quite far in the future. That is not the intended usecase for Neuralink at this time.
Sure but experimental technology is still pretty risky, especially with Musk's companies tendency to cover up any issues. Ending up brain damaged on top of blind and paralyzed would be a nightmare.
