I guess I'll take the floor as a vegetarian and say I agree, but that doesn't mean we can't triage the extent of animal trials. Was it really necessary to give monkeys implants? I don't really know how you'd test that system before putting it in people without testing it on animals first. Do we really need this kind of implant? Well, it's a BCI, which lots of teams around the world are working on, so Neuralink would never be the only ones doing trials. As AI get ever better, I think it's important that we have the ability to communicate with it better and maneuver more easily and naturally in cyberspace.
