Musk: Neuralink Users May Challenge Pro Gamers

Yahoo! Finance quotes Elon Musk predicting that someone with a Neuralink chip implant in their brain will be able to outperform a pro gamer within "the next year or two." As of now, only one user has been implanted with one of these chips, so this sounds aggressive. But whether it's our fully automated cars or how city transportation has been revolutionized by tunnels, the Bond villain's predictions have always come true. So here's word on when you can start your pro gaming career by upgrading the CPU in your head, maybe followed by a bandwidth upgrade as well:

"We feel pretty confident that in the next year or two, someone with a Neuralink implant would be able to outperform a pro gamer because the reaction time would be faster," he said.

In March, Neuralink said the first human to have a chip implanted in his brain is a quadriplegic, who gained the ability to play video games using his mind.

Looking even further into the future, Musk said Friday that the long-term goal of Neuralink is to improve AI-human symbiosis by increasing a person's capacity to communicate at high volume.
