Comment on Neuralink’s human trials volunteers ‘should have serious concerns,’ say medical experts

  This is a publicity stunt to get more funding.

  It would be if the FDA hadn’t approved this. This is the most puzzling part.

    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 think you are hating simply because musk, they have FDA approval. People are going to get this implant in their brain, and if I remember I’ll come back here and send you a message that you were wrong when it happens.

    Did you see the article about what they did to those monkeys?

    Any human that allows this half-baked shit near them in it’s current state should be terrified.

      They only said people would get the implants, not that they would survive. If they have FDA approval, I’m afraid the previous poster may be correct.

        I’m with the other guy, I’m not reading that again, but I remember it was on the verge if that helps.

        I’ll let someone else link it, or I’m sure you can easily find it if you search Google News. Just a warning though, is awful to read.

      I came back to this thread to prove it wrong, because I was right. Yes some poor monkies got killed but that’s because it was a half baked device, it’s sort of impossible to skip the half baked step when developing a complex device.

      Now that they are in the human stages hopefully it’s well passed half baked and into the good beta device range. Like I originally said all you guys are just hating on musk and shitting on companies he runs that are legitimately cool and doing good things for the world.

      Shit on Twitter all you want, that place is ass though

    FDA approval ain’t evidence that something is safe. See the recent approvals for anti-Alzheimers meds that have a terrible side-effect to benefit ratio.

      For sure, that’s what the testing is for. Now that a device has been put in a human it will be determined if it’s safe over many years and trials.

        If something is dangerous in animal testing, it shouldn’t reach humans. The FDA is toothless (due to underfunding and regulatory capture).

    So you’re worried the implant will affect your memory. Got it.

  Hey dumbshit, I just wanted to drop by and let you know you were so wrong and it only took a few months to prove you wrong.
