    Yk, I’ll play devils advocate and say that I see the good in this. People with disabilities will finally be able to do things.

    But, governments will definitely love this. And the proprietary technology would definitely be spying on people, no surprise there.

    I’m really afraid it could become a mandate to get in the future (gotta learn how to survive in the woods.)

    So overall, it has good potential but would definitely be used for harm. I think it’s a net negative.

    The difference is that it’s consensual, you libtard.

    Now try not to think about those monkeys we’re testing the product on and whether it was consensual for them.

    /s if it wasn’t obvious

      Just because you have someone’s consent, doesn’t make whatever you do to them legal.

      For example, you can sign a contract to allow me to bludgeon you to death, but it’s still murder regardless of your consent.

      Frankly, Elon has killed enough animals in this endeavor that it’s unconscionable to allow him to test it on people. It’s only going to end poorly.

    All I’m seeing is ads streamed directly to the brain with no way but one to stop it, assuming that instinct doesn’t get neurologically suppressed.

      Neuralink aims to help people with paralysis communicate by allowing them to remotely control devices using brain activity. In the future, Neuralink may help enhance user memory and cognitive abilities, restore a user’s motor, sensory and visual functions as well as treat neurological disorders.

      It’s for paralyzed people and neuralink isn’t the only company researching the technology. I swear, where the fuck do you people get your information from, and how do you just never bother to google it to see for yourselves?

        No, Neuralink is for stupid Elmo fanboys to waste money and health on and allow Elmo to continue executing his fascist anti-human agenda. And yes, other companies actually try to make devices that will help people. It’s not about the technology, it’s about that motherfucking shit-golem and the way he treats people (hint: like expandable cheap renewable resources). But if you like that fuck so much, I hope you’ll be one of the people leaving Earth and following him to Mars. I actually can’t wait that day to happen. We used to joke how great it would be to put all fascist into a space rocker and launch them into space, and it will soon not only become reality, but the stupid fucks will go willingly. Perfect!

      Regulatory capture at work. If you’re the second-richest man in the world and a darling of the far right to boot, they’ll let you do pretty much whatever you want.
