Especially in less than 4 to 5 months. Damn thing was put in back in January and is already failing.
Comment on Neuralink's first in-human brain implant has experienced a problem, company says
brsrklf@jlai.lu 8 months agoI don’t know. Even if the outcome is just that the implant just stop working, with no other issue, it’s looking pretty bad to me.
Since it required literal brain surgery just to be installed, which I assume is already a serious risk, it’s not something you want to potentially be useless.

The implant is already malfunctioning after a few months. Makes you wonder how many more of these threads will retract over the next following months.

All of them. The body doesn’t want foreign materials inside it at any point. You can’t just jam wires into your body and expect your immune system to not attack it. The organ interface problem as far as I know has never been solved.

We jam stuff into our body for all sorts of things.
Some require rejection meds for life. Others don’t.
