"Smart humans" may be one step closer as Elon Musk just said that the first human has received an implanted brain chip and so far things are going well.

“The first human received an implant from Neuralink yesterday and is recovering well,” Musk wrote on X. “Initial results show promising neuron spike detection.”

According to The Washington Times: Washington Times:

"Elon Musk’s brain implant startup Neuralink began human testing this week after finally getting federal approval last year.

Mr. Musk went on to give details about the company’s first product, “Telepathy.”

He said it “enables control of your phone or computer, and through them almost any device, just by thinking.”

“Initial users will be those who have lost the use of their limbs. Imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a speed typist or auctioneer. That is the goal,” he said."

It would be great if paralyzed individuals became able-bodied, but I don't think that we should be resorting to turning people into Cyborgs to make that happen. Transhumanism is a very real aspiration for many entrepreneurs and I don't think people should view these things lightly because Musk made X better than it used to be.

The last thing that humanity needs is to bio-engineer the masses with implant technology. And it's evil considering transhumanists often reject God and hold onto an extremely materialist view. These people cannot even describe what human nature is.

We hardly have any privacy these days. The last ounce of privacy is locked in our minds and I don't think it's a good idea to hand that over.

Musk has already said that he hopes humans will one day be able to upload their brains onto computers. Why? Why do we need to do that? What's the point? Are things not going well enough as is? We already have computers in our pockets. We don't need digitally enhanced brains.

Musk may have good intentions with all of this but I am not jumping on the bandwagon here. I am not putting anything in my brain or uploading my brain onto anything that is even potentially hackable.

To try and control things at such a microscopic and cellular level, that humans were never intended to control, does not sit well with me. This is something that society should not acquiesce to.

We are already seeing the negative and dangerous effects of AI. With the amount of deepfakes there already are, I don't think it's time we upload our consciousness with the interweb.

Things like emotions and values were never intended to be uploaded onto a computer chip. Nor can they. And fortunately, implant-controlled limbs are not even close to getting us to transhumanistic cyborgs. And I doubt it will even come to fruition. But clearly, some people are still going to try.
