Lil Uzi and Grimes plan to get chipped together to have “Knowledge of the Gods”

Last week, Lil Uzi made headlines when he got a pink diamond implanted onto his forehead. The rapper announced that he had spent the past four years paying $24 million for an 11-carat natural pink diamond.

Twitter users couldn't keep their calm as hilarious reactions flooded the platform. Marvel fans immediately began comparing Lil Uzi to Vision, the superhero powered by the Mind Stone.

A recent exchange of tweets between Lil Uzi and Grimes has gone viral, as both musicians decided to get brain chips.

Lil Uzi and Grimes have clearly become friends while working on music together in recent weeks. The duo now want to take their friendship to the next level by getting chipped together.

The chip being spoken about is none other than Neuralink's experimental ones. The company was founded by Elon Musk, who just so happens to be Grime's partner.

The musicians plan on getting chipped by 2022. At present, the technology is still experimental. Grimes jokingly stated that if the surgery was successful, "we'll have the power of the Gods."

What is Neuralink?

Neuralink is, at the moment, an experimental technology. The long-term goal is to allow humans to interact with machines via this technology.

The device is surgically implanted into the brain, which can then be controlled by the user's thoughts on how to interact and quite possibly control machines.

In a recent post, Elon Musk provided an update about the current developments of the technology. He stated that "we might be able to do initial human trials later this year."

A Twitter user even reached out to the tech magnate, offering to be a participant in the trials for Neuralink. In conjunction with interacting with machines, the device will also aid in studying electrical signals in the brain.

This could help provide solutions for various brain-related diseases that are currently incurable.

In a more recent development, during an interview on the “Good Time Show” on the Clubhouse app, Elon Musk revealed that a Neuralink had been implanted in a monkey’s brain. This device has allowed the primate to play video games using his mind.

However amusing this may seem, the technology’s main objective is to decrease latency in human-machine communication. Training monkeys to play video games is only the beginning of what this technology could achieve. It has a great deal of potential in the field of neuroanatomy and human-machine communication.
