Comment on First human brain implant malfunctioned, Neuralink says
HauntedCupcake@lemmy.world 1 month agoIt’s experimental tech, I wouldn’t want to be the Guinea pig either.
However, if I was quadriplegic and could only use the somewhat limited external tech, and a significant portion of my life was interacting with a computer. Fuck yeah the risk is worth a performance boost. Especially considering this is going to be a lot safer and more powerful when it hits the mass market

There is no such thing as an implant or surgery with no risk of sepsis or rejection. The risk may be low in young, healthy patients (ie, not people who are quadriplegic because that leads to many other health concerns with surgeries), but it’s never zero.
If you’re cool with risking that, okay, that’s your body. Personally I want to live.

I never said it was, and for some people it will be worth it
