Elon Musk says no primates died as a result of Neuralink’s implants. A WIRED investigation now reveals the grisly specifics of their deaths as US authorities have been asked to investigate Musk’s claims.
I really hope the people signing up for the human trials are well informed. While I think implants like Neuralink are going to revolutionize treatment for all kinds of paralysis Musk has a track record of giving absolutely no fucks about safety or regulations unless forced to.
Exactly. There will be a time where we can safely place this tech and help people who are paralyzed walk again or talk again. But trusting this dipshit is madness. He used to come off as a cool genius but that’s all over. He’s just an idiot who has too much money and buys whatever he thinks is cool.
He justifies all of this suffering and torture because in his mind he’s got a major Kanye complex where he thinks he’s an Adonis god. Bro you’re an amorphous fat pasty neck beard who got lucky in the dot com boom and bust. Real lucky. Please just go climb a wall of dicks and get fucked.
Got lucky, pfft I remember how PayPal would screw folks over constantly and he got there by taking advantage of them.
While he is a particularly egregious and blatant example, there are countless examples of other corporations generating their profits by doing exactly the same level of ignoring safety, environmental damage, and other harms ti society in their single-minded pursuit of ever inreasing profits.
Internalize the profits and externalize the costs has been a business mantra for centuries.
It’s actually not that many, for most conditions these things can be used for other methods seem saver and more promising but there are cases where they will help people.
That’s literally the exact thing rewarded by capitalism. Don’t blame the player, blame the game
