Comment on Elon Musk’s Brain Implant Startup Is Ready to Start Surgery
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 10 months agoWhat do you mean? You see no potential for anything good coming from this at all? I certainly see some things to fuck about this (including the asshole payroll ING the project) but not “Everything”
I see a select few medical devices benefiting from this, which they would have eventually gotten to anyways without musk and his extremely poor research methods.
I’m never getting anything like this. Doubly so if it’s developed by big tech. The possible benefits don’t even get close to outweighing the negatives
Curious, do you mind sharing how many extremities you have that are paralyzed? I would weigh your input accordingly
I guarantee musk isn’t going to be healing paraplegics with this. That research is being done by medical professionals who haven’t killed all their test subjects.
This is being done to make as much money as possible at the expense of as many lives need to be sacrificed to get there.

I discount quite heavily any knowledge that may come of this because musk is a goddamn egomaniacal child. I take all of his shit with a heaping dose of skepticism. Put a serious thinker in charge and I’d have a different opinion.

Yeah he will fuck it up and use it for evil, but the science is sound and this should help the race for commercialization and improved safety for reanimation implants only available at super selective research levels currently. Don’t be a luddite about any potential for good. Most things are shades of grey guy.
