"Initial results show promising neuron spike detection," Musk added. Reuters reported earlier this month that Neuralink was fined for violating U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) rules regarding the movement of hazardous materials.
Come gather ‘round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin’
And you better start swimmin’
Or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’
Good rule for life… NEVER let someone cut you open unless it will save your life or drastically improve it. I was thinking along the lines of quadriplegics regaining autonomy than just futurisms. I could get excited about something that gives people their lives back. Would that ever come out of a company run by Musk? I highly doubt it. But if it weren’t him or other tech bros there could be a chance that it could turn into something that helps people.
I don’t know but I’d bet the person who got that implant is in a desperate situation without much to lose.
I know neuralink’s first focus is on things like deep brain stimulation, which can take a person from having almost constant tremors and rictus, to be able to use their body. So I’d wager this particular implant probably has some potentially huge upside for someone who’s living in hell already anyway.

You would? I wouldn’t trust anyone to install anything in my body that doesn’t preserve my life. Much less any corporations.
It’s one of the things that potentially prevent the technological singularity. That’s undoubtedly why the self-important Musk has an interest in it.

I hope so!
What about the ones that do preserve life? Like pacemakers? How long before we see all these anti consumer corporate BS panning out on those?
