Musk is moving forward from killing monkeys to killing people.

Death cult. No joke here, no hyperbole. Death cult.

EDIT: To me, starting with people with paralysis and taking advantage of their desperation to do underegulated shit that already caused untold suffering and death to primate subjects is still death cult shit in the way it's tricking people into false hope and sloppy pseudoscientific "experiments" for the sake of the fever dreams of the cult leader.

Neuralink said in a blog post that it was looking for people who had paralysis in all four limbs because of a spinal-cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Hey business insider you really buried the lede there. The opening makes it seem like they’re just talking about bazinga brained morons

I think if I'd lost the use of 90% of my body I'd be extra protective of the 10% that still works and not eager to let melon-musk sloppily jam some dangerous shit in there

They're still bazinga brains

Honestly, I think being trapped in your body might be a motivating factor to try anything.

Hey now, one of those blinded ape freaks could get hit by a truck and qualify soon

Don't worry, the 40 year olds getting this chip will be near the end of their life spans so if they die it will be from natural causes.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

Could you imagine if it worked? And it was the human instrumentality project made up of bazinga-brained redditors? What a wondrous and grotesque being would be born. I cannot imagine a more fitting ending for this accursed species

It all ends, not with a bang, or a whimper, but a le epic fart sound so-true

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

We can't blow up the first three. That's not an option here

We will blow up the first 3 million like that scene in Kingsmen melon-musk

Heard of nonfree software? How about nonfree people?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Then company goes under or deems your implant non-profitable and stops supporting it and now your brain implant software doesn't work. That's already a thing with other medical devices.

Whenever I read about this shit I always have to think about Adam from Doctor Who.

Is "Shivon Zilis" a normal name somewhere? I can't tell if my brain is rotting

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

How about "Chiveon Zilis"

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Let me grab my popcorn...

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I have to struggle to not feel liberal emotions about the worst reddit brained people on earth linking up to have their brains literally melted for a change.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Anyone else notice that the thumbnail looks exactly like no-mouth-must-scream ?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

First thing I thought of

It’s so wild to me how an endeavor like this (if it even actually becomes a thing) is in the hands of the private industry instead of, idk, fucking brain surgeons

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

reasonably sure that brain surgeons wouldn't touch this with a ten ft pole

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Ben Carson maybe

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Literally the Pied Piper

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

aren't there like laws against this or something. It feels like he shouldn't be allowed to do this

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Great. I fully support them. I am glad for them. I can't wait to see what will happen (many bad and annoying techbros will die and the world will be better for it, and no one has to get their hands dirty because they did it to themselves, enthusiastically). I salute their contribution to science (I do not salute their contribution to science)

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

I think a lot of truly desperate paralyzed people will be sold a false hope here and will get drawn in that were otherwise not bazinga cultists.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

This is going to go so well.

I'm watching a Therac-25 before my eyes

And some of you have ZERO empathy what the actual fu--oh, hexbear. That explains some things.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Based. The NFT era was terrible but was redeemed with the downfall era. I’m expecting good things from this, i.e. I hope they fail in the most grotesque way

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

A lot of desperate paralyzed people that otherwise would not be bazinga cultists are likely to suffer and die from these Wish.com Mengele "experiments" that lack scientific rigor or regulatory protections.
