Overwrought criticism. Yes, we’re at that wildly imaginative stage where a small & hard step down a long road of undeveloped technology gives rise to hopes of what the end of that decades-hence goal will achieve. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try, and doesn’t mean we’ll give up tablets for brain implants next year. Yes those leading the way give impassioned speeches about what might come of their work - that’s ok, really.
