This is a publicity stunt to get more funding. They are going to get some volunteers, but they won't ever get the implants. Neuralink will just keep delaying the procedure by a year and then cancel it once the public stops paying attention.
I don't see Neuralink taking the legal risk, regardless of what the FDA says. The approval is part of the publicity stunt IMO.
I don't think they'd care about the legal risk from people who'd sign up. However it'd be pretty bad publicity having them all die
Hey now, that's not fair. Some of them might just end up paralyzed or brain dead.
