To me this title reads more like a capitalistic celebration of potential labor from an otherwise un-exploitable workforce, instead of a celebration of a major breakthrough in giving some semblance of dignity and autonomy to a person who was robbed of it by this terrible affliction.
Yeah, the presentation is a tad dystopian.
Still an eminently cool breakthrough, though I've read that BCI's are hackable and that notion sounds pretty scary.
