How Long Before We have Punk Chimps as Gold Sellers?

"Telsa boss Elon Musk said in an interview late Sunday that a monkey has been wired up to play video games with its mind by a company he founded called Neuralink. Neuralink put a computer chip into the monkey’s skull and used “tiny wires” to connect it to its brain, Musk said. “It’s not an unhappy monkey, you can’t even see where the neural implant was put in, except that he’s got a slight like dark mohawk.”
Well I thought I would strike a light note today but those chimps are on their way, maybe as MMO companions in those games that feel we need to have a toon mate, maybe they could be a chimp? Some MMO players I am sure will think they cannot be any worse than the "randos" we get in most MMOs and actually when I think back to BDO the other year they may be right. Alternatively they could play mobs, though I think we might get a good thrashing if they did.
How do you think Chimps could fit into MMO-land?

Equally so, this does look to be the starting steps of the Matrix.
Monkeys have been known to steal only valuable things in exchange for things they want from the tourist. So they are primed for games. In India thieves have monkeys that steal from tourists. Only thing is the monkey hasn't mastered language in terms of speech or they will be taking over board rooms and that would be an improvement.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

Anyway.. so what we are seeing is the beginnings of something like Geordi La Forge's Eye visor that lets him see.
Cool!

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.- FARGIN_WAR
IIRC, someone was looking for that, and thought VR was crap because it could not provide it.
But anyway, this is some next gen cool stuff.

Basically what Musk is trying to be.

In FFXI I remember grouping with Japanese players because I was playing from Singapore then and the time zone I was in made it more likely for me to see only Japanese players looking for a Red Mage. Red Mages were very popular for groups which was why I played one
So I needed to be able to talk to them and they had this handy dialogue pick tool that gave questions and responses including limit breaks. All the necessary and polite conversation was covered. It was a great way to talk and reply. With that even a chimp will be able to be a good team mate. Makes you think huh ?
I was going to write a fantasy book once, where a star character dies, is brought back to life by an ancient artifact, but unable to "grow" in skill, or more importantly, unable to gain new knowledge. He could think and vaguely remember encounters, just like when he was alive, but he couldn't move past that point of social awareness and mental memory and emotional growth from the moment of his death. And he would often wonder why that was, the mystery being revealed at the end when he became the hero and the quest was done.
Realizing that he was nothing more than a zombie, a physical incarnation of his memory when truly alive, he falls into lonely despair as he awaits his final end, if that should even come about naturally.
Once upon a time....
So, giving them a list of sentences, or words, as opposed to typing every letter, does seem like the way to go.
To be honest, when I am playing, I think I would rather just to be able to select some basic questions as opposed to needing to type everything out.
Seeing neurons firing, and being able to interpret, and or, direct those to make things happen. let alone understand them...ya long way away.
Good first steps, but many decades away from what their stated goals are, if even then. The brain is still the most mysterious organ we have, and no one really understands anything but the basics yet.
I levelled playing in Japanese groups until I joined a guild. Not every class though unfortunately are accepted they were only taking the classes that were not so commonly played. A lot of the people who were in the same time zone were not that lucky to get into Japanese groups as I later discovered. The game was also played on the Playstation so I guess this was also to allow for the lack of keyboards.
