Neuralink patient raiding in World of Warcraft after only 100 days of having the implant installed calls it 'pure magic… exploring Azeroth hands-free at full speed'

Neuralink.

Whatever else one can say about Elon Musk, the guy employs some incredibly talented engineers, and the latest update from the Neuralink project is like something from the future. A major goal for Neuralink is improving the lives of people with severe disabilities up to full-body paralysis, and now the 18th participant (in what is still a trial) has posted about their progress after 100 days: and part of it involves playing World of Warcraft.

Previously we've seen Neuralink patients playing games like Counter-Strike 2 and, while that is still sorcery, in that case the interface was aided by a single mouth-controlled joystick. But the nature of the two games aside, WoW's controls are on a different level: it's one of those that, depending how deep you want to go, can end up with almost every key bound to some sort of macro, alongside mouse controls.
