Jesus Christ. The article is maddening and horrific. Multiple times they've just accidentally installed devices on the wrong vertibrae because of sloppy protocol/no oversight, so had to kill the animals. Make Musk the next subject or shut it down.

I need to be put on that project for the Omnissiah if I can experiment on Musk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Quote In all, the company has killed about 1,500 animals, including more than 280 sheep, pigs and monkeys, following experiments since 2018, according to records reviewed by Reuters and sources with direct knowledge of the company’s animal-testing operations. The sources characterized that figure as a rough estimate because the company does not keep precise records on the number of animals tested and killed. Neuralink has also conducted research using rats and mice. Shut it down yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwheel86 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Sadly I can see a lot of PWDs, especially SCIs with coping issues, signing up for this and getting killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyPiranha Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 This seems like yet another musk boondoggle so I haven’t been paying attention beyond the broadest strokes, but at any point has there ever been an explanation as to what this brain chip actually does? Outside of killing chimps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more Elon Musk wanting to do a scifi thing to plug brains into computers and misunderstanding dystopias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
