The supposedly cynical comment above talks about giving quadriplegic people a reliable way to control computers for <$100k, something that was science fiction before. Is this what you call exploitation of the poor and desperate by the wealthy? You have to finance things somehow, or they won't be done at all.


There are many ways to finance this without strapping a parasite to leech off of it on top


Are those many ways to finance it in the room with us right now?


See “all the right things to do haven’t been tried yet!”.

As much as I dislike (current) Musk, the comment I'm responding to clearly wasn't about that. Do you see this work being done by anyone else? I don't. And yes, it has the potential to turn dystopian, sure. Don't let it. I don't know how some people manage to see everything as strictly black and white.

Being called a bot was unexpected, to put it mildly.
