  Sure failure is gonna happen but neuralink hasn’t been particularly successful with all the primates that have been tested with for previous version either.

    This is an article saying it failed in a primate too!

    Yeah it’s a really difficult problem. The criticism might be that it’s animal cruelty.

  damn, imagine we did any other medical research with that attitude!

    Yeah that’s exactly what we’ve been doing in medicine for ever. Are you supposed to just stop trying?

      so, hate to break it to you, but we in fact don’t take that attitude with medical research, anything that had a tendency to kill the pre human control groups generally doesn’t keep going, Musk can do this because he is a high profile case, ironically it’s how he slips regulations all the time, because there would be backlash from the musk sycophants, but also the general wealthy community who use people like musk as a barometer on how much corruption they can get away with

        Maybe not now but a lot of what we know in medicine caused animals and people to die despite knowing the risks of experimentation
