Neuralink Is Impressive Tech, Wrapped in Musk Hype

Elon Musk has a talent for describing the most comforting kind of crazy-ass futures. Underground electric robot cars!--sells itself as the world of tomorrow, today. But it's actually the science fiction of yesterday, ripped from the pages of Science Wonder Stories. It's lovely that someone is finally building yesterday's pew-pew science fiction priorities. That's especially true of the latest Muskery, presented last week: a new iteration of Neuralink, a wireless implant that could someday give human brains a direct interface to digital devices.
