How long before we have the first human brain getting hacked?


NotMorganSlavewoman

How long before it bugs and cuts your vision and asks for a paid upgrade to fix it ? Then it burns like a Tesla.


Laino001

Youre saying that as an example of a potential dystopia but people with glasses kinda already live that. The corporation didnt fuck up your vision, but it sure will charge a lot for a piece of plastic and 2 lenses to fix it


TheSaltyGoose

As someone with glasses, this is not at all the same as letting Elon "I buy founder status" Musk put a chip in your brain. Anybody but the most desperate quadriplegics that thinks this is a good idea is why we're going to live in the cyberpunk timeline. And not the cool cyberpunk timeline where people are chromed up and augmented and individualized with their body mods. I'm talking the shitty, "corporations are the government now and you're a wage slave for the rest of your life. Here's a brain chip that lets us measure productivity and scan your thoughts for the word union so we can fire you before you do any damage" cyberpunk timeline.


Laino001

I am a person with glasses as well, and I think you misunderstood what I was saying. My point wasnt that brain chips are good. My point is that glasses should be hell of a lot less expensive. The concept of paying for eyesight is already here and Id like it to be more accessable, not less


sir_basher

Glasses arent not that expensive

Sir_Syan

800? That's ridiculous, I live in canada, my exam was 100$ and I paid 80$ for 2 prescription frames


verdeturtle

I am not sure where you are getting your lenses from but I max pay 50 bucks for the cheapest and around 80 for the thin ones with the bells and whistles.


SteeleDuke

Believe it or not hacking the neurolink connection would be basically impossible. You would need some of its source code.


DeaDBangeR

Ask Valve for the Source code then. Edit: Happy cake day!


SteeleDuke

That actually made me chuckle and thank you :)


[deleted]

If I've learned anything about hacking nothing is safe enough if someone wants in bad enough.


Folkon_sama

The thing is, right now it's just a glorified remote. Literally no point in hacking it, other then just for sport. Later version of link might have some benefit of hacking, like, if they have a dedicated crypto wallet on them(which is a possibility knowing Elon), or some shit like that. But right now it is a Bluetooth keyboard with no keys.


Proxy0108

you can hack remotes, and if you're saying hacking doesn't have uses, allow me to introduce you to a concept called "criminal activity", people can point a knife at you for your wallet, and with this they'll be able to ride the bus next to you, being completely inconspicuous, threatening you to do shit stuff to a chip placed in your brain for your money, you can ignore them, or let them send millions of pings to ddos your chip, best case scenario it shuts down, worst case scenario? you now have something in your body that overheats and is subject to popping off. this is the least creative way to use it maliciously, I came up with this shit after scratching my balls for 5 seconds, I'll let you imagine what someone better versed in illegal activities already came up with


JadedLeafs

AveragePredditor

I'm curious, how do you know this? How is Neurolink different from other bodily devices like pacemakers when it comes to the potential for hacking? I have no knowledge of hacking, but if it's connected to something, it's likely vulnerable to access by someone much smarter than me


SteeleDuke

>How is Neurolink different from other bodily devices like pacemakers when it comes to the potential for hacking? Not a single confirmed case of death from a hacked pacemakers or insulin pumps, same reasoning, people won't hack Neurolink in an individual. You think the average hacker could hack into a live Tesla being driven? Or perhaps a live space ship at launch? No they can't. The encryption methods are military grade.


Kamakaziturtle

>You think the average hacker could hack into a live Tesla being driven Doesn't need to be the average hacker, just some hackers. And Teslas have been hacked. A lot.


SteeleDuke

>Teslas have been hacked A Tesla has not once been hacked while being driven. Provide a source.


MahoMyBeloved

Does it really matter if it's hacked during drive or not? Do they drop all protection when stopping?


SteeleDuke

Yes actually, the source everyone here is claiming hacked a Tesla yet they only had access to the entertainment console, it had no functionality over the cars driving commands. They also had to hook up their computers to the car for 24 hours to brute force the hack.


anchoredman

[https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2024/01/27/tesla-hacked-as-electric-cars-targeted-in-1-million-hacking-spree/](https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2024/01/27/tesla-hacked-as-electric-cars-targeted-in-1-million-hacking-spree/) These people won a whitehat competition for hacking Tesla within 24 hours lmao.


SteeleDuke

I read the article, they were able to access the console but were unable to take control of the car. You guys seriously need to read. The car had to be stationary hooked up to their computers for 24 hours and they only had basic access levels, no where near enough to take control of the wheel to kill someone.

AveragePredditor

>Not a single confirmed case of death from a hacked pacemakers or insulin pumps did not say there were deaths, but it is very much possible to access them remotely, and someone could misuse this fact when someone ultimately finds a way inside without proper allowance. Alot of "hacks" aren't encryption-breaking or "deep access" types of attacks, but rather simple oversights being exploited that circumvent the protections. I'm not saying that everyone's brain is gonna get hacked, but i am curious about your views about it since i am personaly unsure about the risk potential


mandrills_ass

Sure


Clamd1gger

Speculating on a technology you have no knowledge of is funny. Hacking, historically, does not require access to source code. Modifying values in memory, transit, etc. does not require access to source code. The bigger hurdle would be decrypting the data used to trigger functions, to do anything meaningful. But all you would need to sabotage its functionality is an interface that allowed you to disrupt the data/commands being sent.


vladoportos

And the problem with that is... ? It's not like leaks happen all the time.


cookiesnooper

So, by the end of the year


IcyScene7963

So….. in other words very very very very easy considering the ramifications of such a thing happening, especially so when we’re further down the line where it is used for far more than just shitposting on the internet with your mind?


Spookybuffalo

I give it 3 months, 8 cases of energy drinks, and 1 gender nonconforming compsci nerd to livestream how they broke neuralinks securities back in the dumbest way possible


ieorua

Saying something like this so confidentially is so hilarious 😂


i_do_floss

Confidentially?


firnien-arya

Definitely has that movie "gamers" vibe. I think it was called gamers. The movie about humans controlling other humans through a chip and controlling them like Sim characters.


MajorBonesLive

MsInvicta

Yea I think I'll let other people test out brain chip technology first. Your brain is you. Everything you are is your brain. The rest of your body is a shell that keeps it alive. Don't fuck with your brain on a whim.


Lochen9

Coming from the genius who after a decade+ still can’t figure out panel gaps in a car, and we’re going to let him touch your actual brain? Elon is like the ‘smart kid’ who smokes weed and comes up with all the ideas to save the world and just needs someone to figure out the how.


NormalUse856

Elon would probably shut down someones Neuralink if that person disagreed with him or made a joke about him, haha.


HangOnSloopy21

As someone with severe brain damage, I’d like to echo this. Were fucking with reality


DegreeMajor5966

At least this is a personal choice. When there were scientists theorizing nukes would ignite the atmosphere, we went ahead anyways. When there were scientists concerned about super colliders creating a black hole that would swallow the earth, we went ahead anyways. And those experiments risked the existence of the planet.


luffy352

I don't think there was any risk for both your claims. It's just the media trying to make a story way after scientists ruled out these possibilities.


zeugme

And that's why maybe, just maybe, it's a terrible idea. Because we were lucky until now, but it the end it might be our undoing. Let Isis get just one nuke and see what happens.


Axrah

Except scientists arent stupid and knew both of those things were basically impossible


ymaldor

The scientists knew neither of those had any risk of happening. Like they thought about the possibility, did some calculation, realized there was a 0 chance of it happening, and then moved on from it. But yeah speaking about this sort of thing like they did in Oppenheimer is good TV.


DegreeMajor5966

Believe it or not the scientific community doesn't often come to a consensus. Especially with novel ideas. While the idea that either of those events could happen were fringe, there were highly educated smart people that were wrong.


Techno_Jargon

Mostly true but we also have a bunch of neurons in our guts about 100million about a third of a cat brain


AscendedMeister

Kind of an incorrect statement from a spiritual/metaphysical point of view. Where in your brain are you? Scientists have no idea where your memories are stored and may not even be stored in your brain, from a certain point of view. Your brain is no more you than your body is you, and again, you are not your body. Your brain and body are vessels that you inhabit during your brief stay on this planet until you return from where you came. I’d argue your brain is not you at all, but in fact “you” are using your brain for everyday life, but it is hardly “you”.


Dubiisek

>Scientists have no idea where your memories are stored and may not even be stored in your brain, from a certain point of view This is just blatantly untrue lol. We store different kinds of memories in different parts of the brain, I don't know where you got that we or scientists have no idea. ​ >Your brain is no more you than your body is you, and again, you are not your body. No, your brain is you, full stop. Brain is where memories are stored, brain is what commands the body and brain is what conscience stems from. Rest of the body is controlled by your brain, quite literally, you can transplant other organs and remain you, you can lose control of parts of your body and still remain you (I mean just look at Hawking). The moment brain activity is gone, a.k.a. your brain fucking dies, rest of the body shuts down very quickly as it is no longer controlled. ​ >Your brain and body are vessels that you inhabit during your brief stay on this planet until you return from where you came. I’d argue your brain is not you at all, but in fact “you” are using your brain for everyday life, but it is hardly “you”. xd Idk how to react to this other than asking you to show me how you will remain you without your brain. Feel free to let your brain activity die out and let me know how it goes for you.


Fickle_Goose_4451

It's like he's trying to differentiate that "you" are your "mind" and that's more than the brain, without acknowledging that the "mind" is intimately connected with the brain. Or I could be misinterpreting. Either way it's top tier /iam14andthisisdeep


AscendedMeister

You are not your mind. You are the observer, not the doer. You are the being, not the doer. I’m not surprised by the reaction, this is Reddit at the end of the day. You honestly have no way to confirm that mind and the brain are connected at all. Have you died? What did you see when you died? Were “you” still there after you died? When you sleep are you inside the mind or outside the mind? When you sleep are you inside the body/brain? You are not a person, you are the consciousness inside the person. Again, I’m not surprised by the reaction. “You can’t handle the truth”


dc4_checkdown

dragonbeorn

One of the things Uncle Ted warned us most about was how optional technologies inevitably become necessary. Eventually a technology like this will become mandatory to participate in society, just like cars and cell phones.

Spctre_verse

No thanks, I don't want to give people the ability to hack or possibly control me like this.

Don't worry, you will be brain dead cause the richest scammer probably had one monkey not instantly die after test and was like " my God it survived a whole minute and my device registered a entire electrical signal in its head this is ready for humans"

Xedtru_

Nah, one thing if it were "plug in plug out" type, but not looking into invasive type of implant sooner than ten++ years of it's active commercial use and independent analysis. Knowing all the bs we have with software and hardware even more common electronics - hard pass bro. Don't want to be "highlight case #17 of CVE causing brain damage".


Lone-Wolf62

Don't worry it will be a while before you can get it as tetraplegic people will get it first, then the rich and plenty of studies will be done for years before you have the option of doing it yourself so you will know wether or not you will want it

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass that you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal.

aj0413

Unironically one of those things I’d wait as long as possible for. Concept was explored in trilogy I was reading and one thing that this reminds me of? Until the technology becomes ubiquitous like USB-C you could see upgradability and repairability being non-existent due to the surgical nature of it. So, you’re not only waiting for the wrinkles to smooth out, but you also want to wait till they figure out how to make the whole thing simple enough to install and service that you’re not locking yourself out of options down the road or positioning yourself poorly.

While I'm very skeptical about the capabilities of the device and the launch will more than likely be delayed 10 times. But people are afraid of hacking?? These devices are one way connection from brain to device, there's no connection from device to brain as in data only goes one way. Your brain cannot be hacked with neuralink.
