Uploading your mind
Neuralink website says:
“We expect our first application to be computer control for people with spinal cord injury. There are many other potential future applications for the Link. These include restoring motor and sensory function and the treatment of neurological disorders”

Hi, Cho!
Cho
Hi Manuel 😀😀
Manuel
So I’ve done some reading on the Neuralink and I think I understand better what you are getting at
Cho
About the possible applications
Manuel
Yes, it is meant as targeted medical device for spinal cord injuries first and foremost, the rest …
Cho
… is still futuristic 🤨
Manuel
But still, it would be possible in principle, right?
Cho
What would?
Manuel
Besides movement, restore senses and stuff like that
Cho
Well, maybe, depending on whether we can pinpoint the relevant brain area’s and the systems scale
Manuel
Maybe? 😰
Cho
Remember that the neuralink itself isn’t a finished product yet, and no human trials have taken place
Manuel
Right. But the science is sound 🖖
Cho
We understand the brain better and better, but there still is a lot to discover. I can’t exclude the possibility, but …
Manuel
Again with the “but”! 🥺🥺
Cho
Hey, it’s my job to think critically about this stuff and whether it makes sense
Cho
Mostly, I don’t think the technology is there yet, and I don’t know if it will ever be
Manuel
So uploading and downloading your consciousness …?
Cho
… is still science-fiction. Even a working neuralink would not have those capabilities
Manuel
OK, that’s useful info. I’m nearly done with my story. There’s one more thing I want to check
Cho
Sure, see you later… ☺️☺️☺️
