Pretty much my sentiment as well. I won't stop anyone from getting this if they really want to, but there's no chance in hell they're putting it in my head.
We're not in the Mega Man Classic timeline. We're in the MegaMan Battle Network timeline. Artificial Intelligence and PETs and Pulse Transmission Systems before anything close to a robot....
Would make sense, both the delay and range of fuckups from and including decision making to hand action are all but eliminated by something like this. So on the one hand it will do wonders for anyone with dyspraxia, but on the other it ups the ante on competitive input peripherals.
If it's allowed, yes. But it's going to be so revolutionary it will either need banned or its own category made.
tl;dr this is unironically going to lead to real world Deckers from Shadowrun.
Response time is going to drop significantly with this. The thought of doing something is going to be the input command, not the current thought which then needs an appropriate neural command sent to the hands to perform various actions that provide the input, those actions as I mention in the other post being subject to fuckups and delays.
RSI, twitches, itches, outside interference, shitty controllers, keyboards, mice, WiFi, and more, all replaced with the integrity of signal interpretation, which will have to be paramount in the first place, and transmission.
It's entirely possible this results in player performance leap frogging current game challenges, too, because right now games are designed with the limits of both user and hardware limits in mind.
At best we can learn to input/type faster alongside using additional input devices but we are still limited by physical features of both the user and the devices present. A mouse and keyboard means you can do several things at once, but we still only have 2 hands. So we can move in a direction, jump, turn, interact, and do so all at once or in various combinations. But we will still be limited by the game design just how much we can input those commands.
With a 20+ year old ps2 controller a user can use the left analog stick to move in any direction along the horizontal axis. But even if a second analog stick was provided that permitted true 3D movement within an environment, air or water, we don't have the dexterity for that level of finesse. A direct neural input however would because without needing to calculate how hard a button needs pressed or how much a second analog stick needs turned a human brain can interpret spatial data and create a vector to move along. Every single game that exists right now which offers superpowered flight is going to be redundant overnight with this type of input device.
Well I'm still justified to have quit multiplayer, the future is kids who got a brain implant at 5 and spend 8 hours a day their whole life playing these games. It would be even less of a contest than it is now.
It's basically why I stopped most PVP games anyway. I don't have the time to grind a game like these people anymore so being their punching bag whenever I do want to relax with some vidya is out of the question
For regular consumers yeah, CS:GO is gone. But Valve might have hooked neuralink up with a custom build for this, and that build might be older than the CS2 update.
Pretty neat, but if (when) they try to make this a big (eventually mandatory) thing I'm going to not be in a great mood.
They'll just make you feel great after the implant through direct stimulation, or keep you miserable just as ritual humiliation

If I ever end up quadriplegic, I'd be game. Not much left to lose at that point and way more to gain.
Otherwise, yeah that's a huge nope for me thanks.
Hey man, if you want access to money, electricity, gas, and food, all you need to do is take a little chip! Are you a chipophobe or something?
Hey everybody, we got a chipophobe over here! their chips spur them into action
My inner child thinks this is the coolest thing ever. My outer adult thinks this is terrifying.

Didn't the first guy to get it come out and say it made him an aim bot? I think he was saying he had an unfair advantage

So the next game competition will basically be cyborgs?

I look forward to the non wired game inputs.
Judging by the footage in OP, that was probably a joke reported improperly by the media, if it happened at all.
I have a receipt that the first patient called himself an aimbot.

Little do they know, another bomb has been planted.
I see the efforts to permanently plug us all into the Matrix are moving along at a terrifying clip.
Ya it's over. They can plug people directly into fake media world and live in it. Imagine how insane people will be without EVER touching grass.

The Mark of the Beast is here.
Not a CS player myself but some comments are saying it's CS:GO not CS2?
I don't think CS:GO exists anymore. Valve did a major update and rebranded to CS2.
For regular consumers yeah, CS:GO is gone. But Valve might have hooked neuralink up with a custom build for this, and that build might be older than the CS2 update.
Man-made horrors beyond our comprehension
That's hacking, ban him
The distopia is complete now, we even got cyborgs. I can't wait to go full cyberpsycho.
