What a neuroscientist thinks about Elon Musk brain-jacking a pig

Elon Musk is worried about artificial intelligence. I guess he's
seen The Terminator, or The Matrix, or Battlestar Galactica, or,
well the list goes on... but he's worried humans are going to
fall behind robots in the who's smarter. To address that problem,
he founded Neuralink, a company he's also invested $100 million
in. Neuralink is a brain computer interface that's implanted into
the brain. One day, Musk hopes that it could enable incredible
new capabilities like telepathy, and the ability to search the
Internet with the power of your mind. Last week, Musk took the
stage to give us an update on Neuralink's progress towards that
Sci-Fi vision.
