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.

So AI helps disadvantaged people get in to the wage-slave-queue to fight for their lives against everyone else.. How sweet. Too bad AI/Capitalism takes away the potential jobs needed for that..

Imbecile coping from an archaic failing ideology, and the focus should be on their cognitive well-being - not their potential contribution to this Fascist regime we are living in..
