Nolan, a Neuralink patient, is now controlling a MacBook Pro cursor just with his thoughts. No extra sensors, no eye tracking, just pure mind power. This is a huge step, being the first time someone has fully controlled a cursor using a Neuralink device.
This technology isn’t just about controlling computers; it’s opening doors for things like exoskeletons to help people regain movement and boosting human functions beyond what we thought possible. Imagine clearer communication for those who can’t speak, or new ways to manage neurological conditions.
But where do we draw the line? As we enhance human capabilities with tech, it makes you wonder about the future. With AI and implants becoming more advanced, will humans eventually become “robots” ourselves, blending so much with technology that the line blurs? It’s a fascinating and important conversation about what it means to be human in an increasingly tech-driven world.
