“Sorry guys, Elon is experiencing technical difficulties, please remain patient while we bugfix his Neuralink and then update it to Evil Overlord OS v0.2 alpha to his Neuralink”
I find the wording weird: The neuralink’s threads have retracted from the brain.
The threads can’t move or disconnect on their own. Neither can brain cells. All that can be measured is a loss of connection.
The far more reasonable explanation is that the brain cells at the connection point have died.
Not totally surprising, I feel bad for the person who was in a desperate enough situation to become a con man narcissist’s guinea pig.
It looks like we’re learning the lesson we already learned back when Bill Gates tried to mess around with the education system and faceplanted; just because billionaires made a bunch of money selling a fancy toaster they invented or whatever, doesn’t make them experts on anything else.
I’d sooner put a bullet in my head than something Elon Musk had a hand in.
As a robot tiger, your ability to maul rednecks and hillbillies with narcissism that try to contain you would be considerably greater than your current form.
Literally everything ive seen from him say about what he has experienced so far has been incredibly positive.
We can all call out elon for the shitbag he is, but until this guy who volunteered for this mad science experiment starts singing a different tune, im celebrating the hope for the future that might happen in our lifetimes.
I just buried my grandmother after living with her as one of 2 people to care for her as we sat for 10 years, front row, to her descent into madness and insanity of alzheimers and dementia.
If this tech can be used to fight that monster its worth the risk as it stands at this moment. And i am aware this is some tenuous extreme “success” at the moment im not kidding or deluding myself, but after finding that most of the research on alzehiemers from the last many decades is now known to be junk science based on false claims and they pretty much have to start most of it all over again, this is hopeful.
Helping those who have been handed the worst lot in life gain access to some parts of the human experience they are denied is has come close to make this bearded middle-aged loser cry tears of joy for the first time in a long bloody time
Dont change your opinion of Elon because of this. Compartmentalize it and focus on the good. And fucking demand that Anthony Arbaugh and everyone else that is ever involved in trials is NEVER abandoned. Neuralink needs to be made responsible for maintaining the health of the patient and covering any and all costs to maintain this project for them even post bankruptcy. Complete care and support for the risk they are taking(even if its only anthony atm)
Ill shut up now but Ill leave you with this quote
I’m beating my friends in games that as a quadriplegic I should not be beating them in.

If im not 100% off basis here, “Electric meat is still meat, and we just stabbed it with little tiny forks”
Sooo, is there like a certain knuckle-cracking sequence to turn it off and on again or what? Lol

Sounds like the brain scanner has dead pixels.

I’m excited to get more cyborg parts especially after laser ablating my eyeballs
The older I get, the more becoming a robot tiger seems like as good a retirement plan as I’m gonna get.

Well, I’ve got good news, you can do both at the same time with the patented cyber-bullet! When it implants, it implants 100 percent of the time.
Was he throttled due to not upgrading to the latest model?
No, he forgot to put himself in car wash mode before getting wet.
😂
Literally WHO did not see this coming??
Did the fucking chimps begging for death not tip these people off???
this dude can’t make a car pedal right what did you expect
He doesn’t technically make anything, tbf. He just takes credit for all of it.
the stupidest things are always made on his demand
He’s on the 2 gig plan
