Comment on Elon Musk’s Neuralink reports trouble with first human brain chip
VirtualOdour@sh.itjust.works 7 months agoWatching his videos he’s a clever snd self aware guy more than capable of thinking for himself. Hate Elon but you don’t need to shit on the disabled by acting like being in a wheelchair means you can’t think for yourself

You totally missed my point. I wasn’t shitting on the disabled fella at all. I was 100% shitting on the Neuralink chip, which is supposedly being developed and promoted as a way of fixing paralysis.
The fact that the man is still in a wheelchair means that Neuralink has achieved 0% of it’s ultimate intended goal. It’s just a fancy mouse cursor (and probably keyboard) so far.

Science isn’t magic, nothing gets invented in a single iteration. Don’t let your hate for a single person blind you to reality, allowing someone who can’t control a mouse to do so is breathtaking. it’s not the first time it’s happened but it’s a big step forward and once testing and improvement stages have been completed we’ll hopefully see more fluid links to other movement tools and technologies such as llms which will allow people totally dependent on help to live their own lives.
