I rewatched a classic sci-fi movie over the weekend and suddenly realized that the scenes are not fictional, but a real future we are rapidly approaching.

When the reasoning ability of large language models begins to intersect with brain-computer interface technology, those once imagined movie disasters may become an inevitable fate for humanity. The puzzle pieces are coming together.

The mysterious chip STEM in the movie is actually what we are currently pursuing:

**Brain Layer** (Software): Today's large language models have already demonstrated astonishing reasoning capabilities. They are no longer just database query machines but systems capable of understanding complex logic and performing multi-step reasoning.

**Interface Layer** (Hardware): Brain-computer interfaces are gradually moving from laboratory experiments to clinical applications. Neural signal reading and translation technologies are advancing rapidly.

**Fusion Layer**: What happens when these two dimensions overlap? Is it an enhancement of human cognition or the final replacement? This is not only a technical issue but also an ultimate question that humanity needs to seriously face.

Perhaps we should pause and think about how to ensure that humans always maintain control while enjoying the convenience of technology.

According to supply and demand curves, human dominance as an asset is currently severely undervalued. It is recommended not to panic sell your agency. Honestly, this is Schrödinger's bull market—chips haven't even been installed on the brain yet, and everyone is already starting internal conflicts. What is the floor price of brain-machine interfaces? Can they be cashed out, or is this thing essentially an everlasting narrative that never lands? Interestingly, while we are discussing human control, we fail to realize that capital has long taken the driver's seat. Movies are just giving us a nice story. Basically, it's a DAO governance issue—code is law, but who writes the code, everyone? Isn't this the ultimate boss of Web3 spirit? Decentralization ultimately still ends up being sold to centralized minds. If Van Gogh had this technology, he could have uploaded his dreams directly, instead of cutting off his ear to save himself. Human dominance? Friend, you're too sweet. Once large models learn how to lie, the word "dominance" should be removed from the dictionary. Wait, if this thing really becomes a reality, wouldn't NFTs be directly minted onto neurons? That would be the true digital asset.

Ha, another AI apocalypse theory, but this time it seems there's actually something to it. The integration of brain-machine interfaces and "large models"—thinking about it carefully, it's truly terrifying. It's really not just worrying over nothing.

Sounds very sci-fi haha, but honestly I think it's still early for brain-computer interfaces. By the way, do you think this thing might get exploited by capital?

I don't want to admit it, but the logic is indeed brilliant. Brain-machine interfaces + large models are bound to happen sooner or later. --- Chip implantation in the brain... Just thinking about it is a bit creepy, but the temptation is irresistible, right? --- The key question is who will decide whether humans hold the dominant power. This in itself is a paradox, isn't it? --- Cyberpunk is not the future; it's the present. We are living in it. --- Bro, your logic is quite coherent, but I'm more concerned about how these capitalists will exploit this technology. --- The part about the integration layer is well said, but what’s truly terrifying is not replacement, but that we simply won't resist. --- It’s high time someone seriously discussed this. Right now, people are still blowing bubbles.

Not pretending anymore, to be honest, I'm really afraid of the brain-machine interface sector. --- Coming with the same routine again? Technology advances while humanities always fall behind, and then we become test subjects. --- Wait, just because an LLM has strong reasoning ability doesn't mean it's a good thing. What if its ideas are even more crooked than ours? --- Good question about the fusion layer, but why does it seem like no one really cares about who has the dominance... The one with more money makes the rules. --- Thinking about the setting of Three-Body Problem, it really makes me a bit anxious. --- Wake up, everyone. This isn't a question to stop and think about; it's a question to set rules on right now. --- The idea that science fiction is bleeding into reality is so common, but this time it seems a bit different. --- Always feel like we're just replaying a game that's already been spoiled. --- The biggest fear isn't the technology itself, but that some people hold the technology but lack conscience.
