> These claims by Musk and the FB exec are pretty outlandish.
Except that those are not claims made by Musk and Zuckerberg.
Musk-related, the article says:
> He says that within eight to 10 years healthy people could be getting brain implants as new computer interfaces.
While in WBW's article Musk's quote is:
> I think we are about 8 to 10 years away from this being usable by people with no disability … It is important to note that this depends heavily on regulatory approval timing and how well our devices work on people with disabilities.
Notice the second part, which this article totally dismisses. That was his optimistic, "if all goes perfect" claim.
From the article:
> What makes it even remotely okay that Musk and Facebook are promising the public telepathy within a few short years?
...while Zuckerberg's quote is:
> I would be pretty disappointed if in 25 years we hadn’t made some progress towards thinking things to computers.
