Looks like we got an Elon Cuck

not an elon cuck, @FonsNihilo@lemmy.ca is just pointing out that the TEST SUBJECT HIMSELF has had only good things to say about this implant. i hate ketamine boy as much as you do, but it isnt like musky balls is building these himself, there are real professional engineers doing this, so it working should not be attributed to musk. he came up with the name and the vague idea, thats it.

EDIT: nvm.

In an interview with the Journal, Neuralink’s first patient, 29-year-old Noland Arbaugh, opened up about the roller-coaster experience. “I was on such a high and then to be brought down that low. It was very, very hard,” Arbaugh said. “I cried.” He initially asked if Neuralink would perform another surgery to fix or replace the implant, but the company declined, telling him it wanted to wait for more information.

fuck the neuralink people. all their test subjects are disposable to them, i guess.

Huh, the unethical company that installed known-bad tech into a human is acting unethically. Interesting.

His family should sue them for fraud and whatever crime is to knowingly injure someone with subpar products.

Considering this is pretty much ground-breaking work involving brain surgery, I think it's prudent for Neuralink to wait to see what happens instead of immediately performing another surgery. If I were in charge I'd definitely take things slowly and surely instead of trying to move fast and possibly break things.

Out of curiosity, what do you think about the fact that they knew from animal testing that the retraction issue existed, but they installed it into a human anyway?
