I like this Wikipedia article, however, I would have preferred it's contents to be transmitted directly to my brain in real time when I opened Hacker News. That would have been so much better.
- tbm57 3y agoThis article is talking about 'unrealistic' solutions - what you just said is going to be a neuralink plugin in 2030

Instead of hoping that a portion of viewers will buy the product, it's much more efficient to simply modify their desires directly.

- LoganDark 3y agoI don't think it will necessary "write directly to the brain" but rather just act as an extra sense of sorts. Which would still be extremely cool—I would personally love to experiment with giving myself all sorts of new senses, or even just finding patterns of stimulation that feel particularly nice.

- joemazerino 3y agoSo good. Only two commenters got this
- shermozle 3y agoPrint the Wikipedia article out, wrap it around a brick, secure with an elastic band, throw at head. CLOSEDFIXED
- tuatoru 3y agoFix rejected: does not involve accessing Hacker News.
- linkjuice4all 3y agoForgot to add the call to https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/brick-health https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/brick-health at the end
- photochemsyn 3y agoSounds like a sci-fi novel... but is it a dystopian one or a utopian one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopian_and_dystopian_fiction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopian_and_dystopian_fiction
