Microchips and neural implants are the next step in human-machine singularity.

"UC San Francisco researchers enabled a paralyzed man to control a robotic arm using a brain-computer interface (BCI) that functioned for a record seven months. The AI-powered system adapted to daily brain activity shifts, allowing him to pick up objects and perform tasks with increasing precision.

What if we can control dreams and make fake memories? Fake memories can serve good or bad. Fake memory can make it possible to learn things faster and more effectively than ever before. Basically, all skills that people have are based on memories. The robot external bodies that allow people to control robots from another side of the Earth are tools that allow them to research in jungles without leaving office. 

The robot that can be controlled by satellites can operate in very dangerous places without risking human lives. The brain-computer interface BCI makes it possible to transmit all data that the robot's sensors or artificial senses collect from their environment to the operator. 

The new step in robotics is the brain-computer-interface BCI-controlled robots. Those systems are called BCI/BMI (Brain-Computer Interface/ Brain Machine Interface) Those robots are physically extended BCI-and large language model, LLM combinations. A couple of years ago, a paralyzed person got a neuro-implanted microchip that allowed that man to communicate with computers. 

That allowed that person to communicate with the computer and play computer games. The next step is the tool that allows the person to use a robotic arm through the computer using thoughts. 

The BCI systems. Along with VR sets or systems that stimulate the visual center. The BCI/BMI allows the user to operate robots like external bodies. 

That kind of system makes it possible to create robots that help paralyzed people in their everyday lives. The system can control things like HULC-style exoskeletons. That means if that kind of person wants to go out.  The robot wears an exoskeleton to that person. And then that system can move the person out to sunlight. 

The system can cooperate with the large language model, LLM. And when a person says things like location and where to go, that robot body can transport the person to that point. 

But the same systems can control things like man-shaped robots. Those robots can turn battlefields into things that nobody has seen before. Those systems can also work in rescue missions in high-danger situations. The route of the BCI/BMI goes to levels that we cannot even imagine. 

The BCI systems can control any vehicle in the world. So, the next-generation tools that people might have are aircraft, drone swarms, and robots that the brain waves can control. This kind of technology opens new paths to surgery, engineering, and almost everything that we can imagine. The body allows people to travel in space without any spaceflight training.

Neuralink might be the biggest opportunity in history. Or it is the biggest catastrophe in history.

Elon Musk and Neuralink are preparing to test their microchip which is implanted in brains with people. That microchip can give the user the ability to control prostheses. And that thing is one of the biggest reasons why that neural link microchip is developed. That neural link system is also making it possible to control computers straight without keyboards or mouses. 

So it can be the key element in the BCI (Brain-Computer Interfaces) and BMI (Brain-Machine Interfaces). Normally the BCI and BMI are the same things. The BCI system is the only needed thing. And the brains can control robots through the computer. 

That thing gives fantastic but at the same time frightening visions in the mind. The thing is that this kind of system can collect data from the EEG. And that thing makes this kind of technology dangerous. In the wrong hands, the neural link system turns to the ultimate tool in the hands of dictators. But same time those systems allow us to make the external bodies that can go shopping for us. The thing is that the opportunities of the neural link are incredible. 

The neural link system makes it possible to make remote-control man-looking robots that can operate at the orbiter or on the deep ocean floor. That microchip can connect to GSM telephones WLAN systems and other kinds of things. It allows exchanging thoughts without a single word. And if it's connected to the AI-based decoder. 

That system can also transmit the data from the senses to the internet. So other people can see from their screens. What the user of the neural link is seeing and hearing. But those neural link systems have also their dark side. The system can also use to control a person very accurately. 

When we are thinking about the fictional Star Wars movies and the remote strangle that Darth Vader uses. The neural link can make that thing possible. The system would be gesture-controlled. And when the controller makes the right gesture. That launches the poison capsule into the body of that person. 

Have you read William Gibson's novel "Mona Lisa". That tells about a girl who could click herself straight to the internet. The thing is that the neural port chip makes that thing possible. If we think of the scenario. That may be in the far future every person gets that chip. That thing can cause the singularity of computers and humans. When we are thinking about the possibility that the entire human race will connect to one entirety that makes the most incredible things possible. 

If that system uses the "China brains". As the model how to interconnect people and non-organic parts of the internet. In the "China brain," humans are forming an entirety. And in that entirety. Every individual who is connected in the system acts as a macro-neurons. 

That thing makes the system very high abilities. The system can use the macro-model or extended part of the human brain to solve problems. If one neuron group is not enough the system calls more neurons or macro neurons for working with problems. That is one vision that the neural link brings in my head now.
