Elon Musk's latest venture aims to bring a product to market within four years, but it could be additional decade before healthy people get "neural lace" brain implants:
Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) founder and Chief Executive Elon Musk said his latest company Neuralink Corp is working to link the human brain with a machine interface by creating micron-sized devices.
Neuralink is aiming to bring to the market a product that helps with certain severe brain injuries due to stroke, cancer lesion etc, in about four years, Musk said in an interview with website Wait But Why.
"If I were to communicate a concept to you, you would essentially engage in consensual telepathy," Musk said in the interview published on Thursday. http://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.html
Reuters links to an incredibly long piece with some possibly informative stick figure drawings.

There are different shades of "alien" with regard to world societies -- West Africa, for example, is like the Klingon home world. Its inhabitants greet each other with rape and violence, there is no rule of law other than force, and the average conversation sounds like a bunch of pitbulls barking and snarling at each other.
Compare to that, the U.S. is like Risa*.
* Actually, the U.S. is like that one planet that's perfect except that you can get the death penalty for breaking glass. And its a shame, because the one person who skirted that law was the super-annoying Wesley "Shut up" Crusher.

True... yet US still come in the "alien" territory, no matter if others seem even more outlandish.
