If Neuralink can prove its device is safe in humans, it would still potentially take more than a decade for the start-up to secure commercial use approval

I wouldn't trust Musk if he told me that water makes things wet.

He's a snake oil salesman.

He wants to use this technology to "cure autism," which sounds like it's coming from a position of self-loathing, projected onto everybody else. If he wants to stick chips into his brain, fine, but personally, I don't need a cure for the disease of being me.

I get huge Deus Ex vibes. During the game, one concept stuck with me in relation to this. There was this woman, that was a doctor, but she wouldn't get hired to work in the hospital, because she didn't have the right chip in her head. She couldn't afford it, so she was unemployed. Such a sad prospect, if this is what leads to that.

Also, S1E1 of Futurama!

My initial response was a recollection of the plot of The Kingsman.

Sticking implants in brains for fun is stupidity on a stick.

Implants are already used to control some forms of epilepsy, however these are on the vagus nerve and not in the brain. This sort of application makes sense.

This is a huge nope from me. This is a company that is spearheaded by a man with negative sense of morality and should not be involved in anything that is this morally grey.

Elon should be the first guinea pig, then, see if they can install a chip to make his brain work right

Yeah the left doesn't have any room to talk, at all:

  • Holodomor
  • Great Leap "Forward"
  • Xinjiang/Uyghur Genocide
  • Khmer Rouge
  • Tiananmen Square
  • Fidel Castro's Cuba
  • Stalin's USSR

Many such regimes which were also oppressive of the poor, foreign, ethnic minorities, and neurodivergent. I am sure you will simp for and/or deny every single one of them, though, as you leftists always do.

The left will never be deserving of the benefits of the contract, they've killed more people in the 20th century than all forms of cancer, many major diseases, smoking (bundled into the cancer point somewhat), all forms of accidents, etc
