Let’s not forget the first human trial of the chip is already failing…
Let’s also not forget all the dead test animals…

The only chips I want in my head are potato chips in my mouth, screw Neuralink!
The first chip works better now than the day it was impanted. It’s not exactly that it’s “failing”, some of the threads got pulled out because it turns out human brain moves inside the skull more than they anticipated. However they’ve managed to make up for that with optimization so the performance today is better than it has ever been.
Your thorny insight is not making me any more comfortable with the idea. But hey, you do you…
Once you have your brain chip, you will finally understand that Elon Musk is the greatest genius of all time.
Elon keeps picking companies that give big government grants. Space, electric vehicles, medical, infrastructure. Twitter is like the only company I don’t see getting direct government handouts.
He made his money from duping the people who give out our tax dollars.
Yeah, people have said that they thought I’d love the idea of a brain implanted computer so I could do cool hacker shit or VR.
Like, noooooo that’d be like the Matrix run by the upper management suites of Boeing and Microsoft.
“Yeah we’re sorry hackers broke in and stole all your childhood memories but we couldn’t apply any security updates because the QA team had to be fired after the last one left them all barking like dogs and pissing on trees, . Don’t worry, we’ll fix it in BrainOS 9.8. You’ll need to pay for that updated but we’re now offering a choice between our premium $1500/mo subscription model or new ads-in-your-dreams model for $600/mo”
Wake up, watch a 30 seconds ads.
Go to shit, watch 5 minutes ads while you shit.
While I am on the shitter might actually the most effective time for an ad. It used to be pretty common to keep magazines by the can and those had ads for sometimes interesting stuff
I have no qualms getting a brain chip implanted that’s been properly tested and vetted, especially if it enables me to do cool stuff.
But I want fucking touch one that Mushk has been anywhere near
You think neuralink has not been properly tested and vetted? It’s perfectly fine not to want to have anything to do with stuff related to Musk but atleast be honest about the true reasons then. The uninformed opinions I’m reading here are solely based on emotions.
How many more apes do you think should be sacrificed before it’s properly ready for human trials?
I don’t agree with the premise. Being a shitty person doesn’t mean everything they do is also shitty. Musk singlehandedly popularized electric cars, he’s the first person to develop re-usable rockets thus cutting the price of transporting stuff to orbit by over a half and he’s also responsible for being the first to create a truly global satellite internet effectively for the whole world. If you can’t give him credit for any of that then you’re simply just not looking at it objectively but rather with emotionally motivated reasoning.
