[1] Elon Musk Says the Metaverse Sucks and Neuralink Will Be Better
"Sure you can put a TV on your nose. I’m not sure that makes you 'in the metaverse.'": https://futurism.com/elon-musk-metaverse-sucks-neuralink-better https://futurism.com/elon-musk-metaverse-sucks-neuralink-bet...
- onion2k 5y agoMusk saying a company he owns will deliver a better product is marketing. It could turn out that it's true, but whether it is or not he's going to say Neuralink is better. Musk saying VR is good would be like him talking about how great the newest BMW is.
- zekrioca 5y agoI agree. Just thought it is funny, because VR is really like putting a TV on one’s nose :)
- mlajtos 5y agoYes, VR is TV on a nose, but it's here and can be bought. Neuralink is way more important tech, but it is years/decades away.
- zekrioca 5y agoIt is funny anyway, and I see it mostly as a preparation for Neuralink in terms of its moral aspects, which is kinda interesting philosophically speaking.
- mlajtos 5y agoYes, HMD is direct visual input feed to your brain as you can get without being invasive. Neuralink implanted to visual cortex might get you similar feature, but neural "writing" (as opposed to reading, i.e. generating impulses in the brain) is a hard problem – we don't know how to encode the information. One route might be to just dump the signal in the cortex and hoping the brain will learn to interpret it as it does with other senses.
