Survival of the fittest. I’m perfectly fine with people dumb enough to do this removing themselves from the gene pool.
Gen zero trash chooms. Don’t chip in yet.
Didn’t the dude say in an interview, when asked about his rockets occasionally exploding, that they expected a certain amount of catastrophic failures as part of the process?
Sometimes I wish ketamine was easier to OD on
Dooo it
Yeah I’d like to read that waiver. That’s all.
The contract that exempts Elon musk from actual murder for putting untested tech inside humans will be the only reliable thing in this entire mad experiment.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Thousands of people have expressed interest in receiving one of Neuralink’s brain implants, according to a recent Bloomberg report from one of Elon Musk’s biographers, Ashlee Vance.
The company eventually hopes to make a device that would create a sort of symbiosis between humans and machines and would allow people to send messages or play games, using only their thoughts.
Vance, who authored the 2015 biography “Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future,” said in his report that despite “an outpouring of interest from thousands of prospective patients,” the company is still looking for its first volunteer or “someone willing to have a chunk of their skull removed by a surgeon so a large robot can insert a series of electrodes and superthin wires into their brain.”
Musk’s biographer said it takes a “couple of hours” for a surgeon to perform the craniectomy and then about 25 minutes for the robot to insert the device, along with its ultra-thin array of about 64 different threads.
Yet while Musk’s “maniacal sense of urgency” might work at Tesla or SpaceX — where he has initiated sprints and slept on the factory floor to meet deadlines — at least one Neuralink executive has taken a note of caution.
That’s not an option here," Shivon Zilis, Neuralink’s director of special projects and the mother of two of Musk’s children, told Vance in a reference to SpaceX’s first three rockets, which exploded.
