Calling Gamma Ray This is Major Cigar Do you read me, Gamma Ray? Gamma Ray, damn it, come in! Gamma Ray, please respond! Welp, his brains are fried Pack it up, mission's overDo you read me? Do you read me? Do I need to reach through the TV? Do I need to reach through the Ouija? Houston I may have gone too Houdini
Great. We’re a few years off from the first case of cyberpsychosis, which though a fictional condition supposed by the board- and videogame Cyberpunk 2077, will at some point happen and will be swept under the rug.
Fucking corpos.
Actually any psychosis occurs during brain overload which is already happened with monkeys in neuralink experiments so you’re right, wake up samurai we have brain ads to block
Can’t wait for the horror movie based on a true story about all of this to eventually come out. When you read what happened to some of the monkeys in these experiments, know that whoever the fuck signs up for this is in for a shitty time:
Wired notes a December 2019 experiment outlined in one of the documents saying one monkey had to be euthanized after a piece of Neuralink’s brain implant broke off during the surgical process, leading to infection. Another macaque mentioned — known as Animal 15 — “began to press her head against the floor for no apparent reason” days after receiving the implant, and her condition only went downhill from there:
Animal 15 began to lose coordination and staff observed that she would shake uncontrollably when she saw lab workers. Her condition deteriorated for months until the staff finally euthanized her. A necropsy report indicates that she had bleeding in her brain and that the Neuralink implants left parts of her cerebral cortex “focally tattered.”
Hard pass
Musk should get the implant to demonstrate how awesome it is.
Even if he had… his behavior is not something that would convince me.
I was thinking more for the lulz, but you are correct that no one should be convinced by anything Musk does.
Hard pass from Musk to be sure.
Fuck Musk and this project of his in particular
I will get excited when it actually work
No thanks. Teslas technically work too.
LOL right? They barely work and all that car is, is batteries and a motor. This is fucking brain surgery. A whole new paradigm of human-computer interfaces.
Tesla Is The Most-Recalled Car Brand—By Far—Of All Cars, Trucks, And SUVs
Now do brain chips!
Just to be clear that is based on predictions of future recalls over the next 30 yrs. Not that I would buy a Tesla even in 30yrs but just saying.
Headline is false as well, there are other companies that did this already.
While you’re right, others have done this already, the headline is just badly worded. It’s the first human for Neuralink, not first human ever.
On a side note, the government has god damn special forces cyborg insects!?

I think I remember looking into it and its much more brute force than it sounds like. They essentially run an electrical charge through different parts of the body to react in specific ways and then wrote a software layer. It’s not anywhere near borg shit, yet.
Imagine how incredibly fucking dumb you’d have to be to agree to have this done to you, let alone eventually pay for it if they ever actually make it to market
There are a lot of Musk worshippers out there who would gladly let Elon poke their brain with a pointy stick.
There soon may be fewer Musk worshippers. Which is not in itself a bad thing, but not even Musk worshippers deserve to die the way that some of those monkeys did.
Nobody, monkeys included, deserves to die the way those monkeys did.
What’s that saying again? A fool and their cognitive function are soon parted?
The real goal of muski
I certainly won’t trust Musk even as far as I can throw him with such stuff.
I suspect that he doesn’t read dyspotic science fiction novels as cautionary tale but as an instruction booklet.
Let’s hope Elongated Muskrat (or any other techbro) never reads I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream in that case
A recent article by Charles Stross says exactly this and explores the dangers it presents.
Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale
Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus
Unironically Palantir
“The Torment Nexus has so many applications in entertainment and use in therapy we could just not ignore this and had to make it a reality. And now, with our patented Torture ad integration technologies, advertisement is brought to a new level, a whole order of magnitude beyond what was possible before. The API to use this and our subscription service will go live at midnight, but pre-order is available right now!”
Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale.
Elon Musk: At long last, I have created the Torment Nexus from the classic sci-fi novel “Don’t create the Torment Nexus”.
Imagine what happens when this chip gets discontinued, nearest example is https://www.theverge.com/2022/2/16/22937198/bionic-eye-company-defunct-ieee-spectrum-go-read-this when bionic eyes became obsolete
Look at this PR release – it’s full of lies and half truths.
Ok, you put a chip into a brain, but
1.) Does it even work? 2.) What does it do?
I mean sure it killed all those monkeys, but it probably works in a human brain
Probably. - Elon, probably.
Hold on, your sleep will proceed after these short ads. “Budweiser! Oh yeah taste it! So good” (50 seconds left. 1 of 5 ads)
