"The richest man in the world wants to implant a chip in your brain. You wouldn’t be the first: as of last September, 12 people have already undergone the operation and 10,000 more are on the waiting list.
Elon Musk’s experimental brain chip company, Neuralink, is entering its second year of clinical trials with the PRIME study, which aims to “restore autonomy to people with paralysis” by enabling them to “operate their phones and computers with just their thoughts.” (PRIME stands for Precise Robotically IMplanted brain-computer interfacE; one can only hope that its researchers are better at neurology than they are acronyms.)
The program has had its successes, but the medical advancements have come at a cost—and Musk is no longer content with healing the sick and injured. In fact, the billionaire’s ambitions seem to be twice as vast as the regulatory hurdles he has sidestepped to get there. Elon Musk wants to transcend the human form. To do so, it’ll only take a few thousand experiments on us regular folk."

The first thing I said to the person who suggested to me that human brains might be directly hooked to a computer, whenever that was, was "everyone will go insane immediately". I still believe that, but now we're beginning to see evidence.
