Neuralink Makes Strides: Third Patient Gets Chip Implant
Imagine controlling your devices just by thinking about them! Neuralink, the brainchild of Elon Musk, has successfully implanted its brain chip in a third patient. The device, designed to assist individuals with spinal cord injuries, lets users operate computers and smartphones using their brain signals. This comes after the success of the first two patients, one of whom communicates through social media and another who plays Counter-Strike 2! With plans to perform 20-30 more surgeries by 2025, it looks like the future of human-computer interaction is already here.
AI-Driven Automatic Rifle Development Sparks Controversy, Account Banned
