Elon Musk: "I can't make money if I can't torture and kill humans. It's the next logical step from all the other animals I have tortured and killed"
I find people shitting on neurallink a little silly. Animals die in animal trials, and if the device was the direct cause for them dying the device would not have been approved to move on to human trials. Or it was the device causing issues, the issues have since been resolved, because that's what animal trials are for if you weren't aware.
Bottom line is if the device is successful as they want it to be, it'll be fantastic for people with crippling disabilities. Shit on musk all you want for the shity things he directly does and says, but I find it stupid and childish how everyone trashes everything he has an ounce of attachment too.
Same thing with SpaceX, they are the most revolutionary company for space travel in the past 50 years and are doing amazing things to advance human space flight capabilities, but people just want to shit on them because of musk.
But that's just like my opinion man
The problem I have with implanting tech in your brain is support lifecycles? What happens when some vendor refuses to update a firmware blob and now you are faced with surgery to upgrade? Not a hypothetical, this has already happened. Relevant Link
Right, that's a big risk. I guess the hope would be that once a company is successful enough they will get to the "too big to fail" stage. Or there is some kind of legislation on what a company has to do to support old customers if they stop operating
