Elon Musk says no primates died as a result of Neuralink’s implants. A WIRED investigation now reveals the grisly specifics of their deaths as US authorities have been asked to investigate Musk’s claims.

The people willing to have this implanted do not have brains. Therefore it is safe.
lol I know you’re kidding, but there’s implication of those willing to get things implanted. Society seems to run on hype nowadays. Look at AI and how fast people are jumping on board with trying it, sometimes out of FOMO. Not to say there’s no merit, but if that FOMO feeling spreads real quick, without proper guardrails, Musk will eventually get what he wants.
I don’t think many people will get elective brain surgery out of hype. Even if they would they can’t afford it. You mention AI but chatgpt 4.0 is $20 bucks a month. Cost is a big factor in trends.
Also I am not sure about your qualifier of “nowadays”. Hype isn’t new.
I think a big aspect is going to be disability. I don’t think any able bodied people are going to be rushing to get this in their skull, but if I had full body paralysis? Fuck it, why not. Well, aside from then supporting these horrible practices and essentially torture on those poor monkeys…
Wait til it does something that employers want. The issue is that this kind of thing can become de facto mandatory.
Shut the fuck up
That goddamn psychopath is trying to exploit the vulnerable and desperate.
