Neuralink has FDA clearance to start messing with people’s heads—and not just figuratively.

Sounds like a great idea, and I’m sure it will work just as well as Tesla FSD. Cost a lot of money and get people killed.

Just wait until TwittX is a mandatory app on the link, lol.

This really might be the one that gets him. It’s one thing when self driving doesn’t quite work right or when that tunnel project gets abandoned. If they install these things and people get seriously hurt (I know cars can hurt people) it’s going to be a shit storm.

What is actually known about Musk’s drug use? I heard he was on Ambien and he obviously smokes weed now and again, what else is our little genius hopped up on?

Edit: I have zero evidence for this but I can’t see how Adderall or something similar is not involved. He’s Aspie so its a little tricky to seperate that out but I dont know how anyone that “productive”/active isnt on something Xtra

Edit: by heard I meant Musk said it, whilst smoking on JRE

Truth doesn’t matter to Musk, so we should care about the truth when talking about him. He lies, promotes white suprmacist rheotric and conspiracies. The whole Twitter buy thing seems so odd. What a dipshit.

Virgin Bill Gates: “The covid vaccine doesn’t contain any microchips…I-I promise!”

Chad Elon Musk: “I will literally microchip your brain”

After what happened to all those monkeys I still can’t believe he got permission to move to human trials. You’d have to be stupid or insane to volunteer for this.

Rather appropriately, allowing Elon Musk’s crew to operate on your brain is proof that you do indeed need brain surgery.

I’m never getting one. If it ever gets to the point where I have to get a brain implant as a condition for a employment, and all the jobs are like that then I guess I’ll just be homeless.

The US FDA is a captured organization. This operation won’t even pass a research level ethics commitee.

This is some of the coolest tech thats currently within our grasp. It will not only completely cure a lot of ailments but lead to fdvr.

Id burn alive a million monkeys if it lets some 5 year suddenly walk. Id burn double that if I can get some isekai catgirl harem going on.

We literally torture animals just to make sure makeup is safe, get mad about that. This is some serious sci fi shit that will open an insane amount of door, regardless of who is behind it. Pick you battles.

People that mindlessly hate on something just because Musk is involved are as brain dead as the ones that constantly praise him without thought.

You’re welcome to volunteer to be the first patient, I mean experiment

And those practices of testing on animals are inhumane and are being phased out.

Edit: Oh, and we all hate it not (just) because it’s musk, but also because it’s had next to no success in animal trials and offers no benefits other than data tracking inside our heads

How else are we going to test brain to computer interfaces? All animal testing is inhuman but some of it is necessary to advance. Like I said, go complain about animal testing for vanity products instead of society altering tech. But you won’t, because you don’t give a fuck about the animals, you only care about the musk circle jerk.

We test them when they’re actually ready to be tested. These are clearly not even ready for animal based testing, let alone human testing.

These devices are so far from ready they shouldn’t even be near a living animal

Do you have insider knowledge on these technologies? How do you know it wasn’t ready? Do you think they would be at human trials if it wasn’t ready a year ago for animal testing.

My point anyways is that we shouldn’t be doing any testing for things like mascara, but brain computer interfaces are a valid reason.

Regardless, we do worse for things that are a lot less warranted than this. Your phone has inhumane treatment of actual humans written all over it. Your whole 1st world luxury life screams of sin but you waste your time getting mad on things that could bring about great benefit just because of a name associated with it.

Keep screaming about it, chimp.

Nearly every test subject died. That’s pretty clearly not ready. Don’t need insider information to know that killing the majority of your test subjects means your product isn’t ready for the next stage of testing, rather it’s ready to go back to the drawing board and start over with something that won’t kill all its subjects.

Now you’re just being racist.

The fact he hasn’t had one installed himself shows he has no confidence in his product. Please don’t go on twitter and tell him he shouldn’t sell products he refuses to use.

Anyone getting this shit will die just like every single fucking monkey test subject. If they don’t die, their suffering will be unbearable

https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-pcrm-neuralink-monkey-deaths/

Go on Elon, show us how it’s done and take the first one

Wow, thank you for linking that article, I hadn’t read it yet. That’s absolutely horrible, and it doesn’t surprise me that Elon has orchestrated something so cruel in the name of progress.
