Leave the brains alone.
another smaller horror of this is: there will 1000% be ads. zero percent chance there will not be ads. even worse, people will be understandably reticent about ads at first, and services will be advertised without ads. then they’ll become subscriptions with ads. just like everything else.

advertising is cancer.

The function of an ad is to manipulate your behavior. If an implant can do this directly ads aren’t needed anymore.
It’ll just be WallE all over again!
Regarding the brain damage, it looks like he tested it by himself.
I half expect him to walk out of X with usable wings on one day. He’ll then obviously, fly too close to the sun.
He’s a genius though, he’d obviously go at night when it’s dark and cooler.
They got ‘bid adieu’ to the birds, though. Bird wasn’t cool and edgy enough for Elron. He’d prefer a jet pack.
Icky-rus Elon
Unfortunately the damage has been on the animals. https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-pcrm-neuralink-monkey-deaths/
Funny that the very long vox article doesn’t mention the wired investigation
and it worked like a charm…
Downvote Musk spam.
The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle. Don’t be a useful idiot.
Just try be clear, you’re saying this article that suggests Elon musk will literally physically destroy people’s actual real brains in search of profit after similarly murdering hundreds of monkeys is promoting him?
I’m all for promoting the shit out of this. The more idiots that kill themselves signing up, the better off we all are.
Downvote Elon Musk spam spam.
The billionaire doesn’t need a PR team to downplay his outright foolishness. Don’t be a useful idiot.
can literally only end in disaster, just like the monkeys that were tortured to death for Musk’s neuralink bullshit (he wants to rush to human testing btw)
I’m all for it. Let any idiot that wants to allow that asshole to put a chip in their head get it. They can all speedrun themselves out of society.
I read it somewhere that these monkeys are bred for testing purpose just like chickens and cows are bred for human consumption but not sure how true it is.
Just as it still makes it not right for cows and chickens it makes it not right for monkeys. Or would you be OK if I was breeding humans for slavery purposes?
What’s your point?
Woah! You didn’t get the point. Life must be really hard for ya. What did you understand after reading my comment ?
It still fails the ethics part, lab animals are purpose bred however it should be scrutinised by a board of ethics
If you are allowing a company that Elon Musk of all people is involved in to operate on your head, maybe the damage has already been done.
I’m all for transhumanism, and I sincerely hope that the people who are hopeful for Neuralink to be therapeutic for their condition find some relief. But nobody should trust anything Elon Musk touches with their brain.
Elon wants to do this, Elon wants to do that…
Shut up Elon.
The biggest reason to never put anything like this in your brain is the idea that they could put ads in your brain.
Could?? No, not could. Will.
I mean, the high likelihood of developing an infection in your brain seems maybe a bit more concerning, but to each their own I guess.
My initial reaction to this was that would be preferable to ads lmao
Ads are kind of like brain infections if you think about it
Of course, I just meant more in the hypothetical ‘this technology is safe for human use and is being widely adopted’ stage.
Even if it was medically safe that’s still your least concern when it comes to IoT devices and network security.

You hereby give Daddy Musk the right to:
- power of attorney
- collect sensitive information such as pin numbers and passwords
- insert ads into your dreams and waking thoughts
- monitor, influence, regulate, and terminate all subconscious and conscious thought as deemed necessary
- stream your vision during sexy time
Are there people still naive enough to believe this conman?
Anyone that would let that idiot near their brains already killed themselves putting light inside the body.
Desperate poor being offered a few dollars
Imagine delivering your vulnerable brain willingly to a troll like Musk
Seems like a better use of my brain at least.
Even your brain is worth more than that. Give it a hug.
I notice Elon has never signed up to go up in one of his rockets. I wonder how quickly he’ll sign up to get one of his brain implants?
Let Elon go first. He can’t possibly damage his brain more.
Hopefully his own
