Why David and Goliath are the Same!

R&D is accelerating in the vital field of brain-machine interfaces (BMI). Elon Musk recently disclosed in a Clubhouse interview that at Neuralink, his BMI venture, a monkey is playing video games via neural implants. He also made some signature provocative projections like his ultimate goal of connecting brains with a powerful AI. “The future of the world will be controlled by the combined will of the people of the earth.” He said, “That might be the most important thing that a device like this achieves.”

Star Trek legend and blockchain advocate, William Shatner, made and sold a non-fungible token (NFT) of an X-Ray of his teeth. The entrepreneur known as MetaKovan paid $69.3million to the digital artist known as Beeple for an NFT of “Everydays The First 5000 Days.” The price confounded many because anyone can view and copy it for free.

In at least one notable case, the VR system supplier’s Privacy Policy grants a long list of rights to use and distribute those patterns.
