    How does this differs from the device that Dr. Stephen Hawking used when he couldn’t speak or move?

    • @echoarts3366

      September 30, 2024 at 6:07 pm

      I don’t know about at the very end of his life, like if he had something similar or wanted one, but I know that when Hawking could use his hands (he could at least squeeze one of them) it was a clicker. After he lost hand movement he used something that detected movement of his face (his eye twitching iirc). His computer would cycle between words, he’d click to select one, and it used a predictive algorithm to try and determine what he was trying to say.

      Sadly I think he passed away before this became truly viable and worth putting in a person, which I believe has been over the past 4 or so years – Hawking died 6 years ago (time flies). His health may have been too bad to do something like this too, I truly don’t know.

      @@echoarts3366yes the difference is Hawking didn’t have a brain implant using thought control where this vid is showing that.

Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out three principles of technoskepticism — and explains why, two years after sounding the alarm in “The Anxious Generation,” he’s more concerned (and hopeful) than ever before.
