Imagine allowing a private corporation to implant a proprietary technology in your soul-jello.
The fuck.
Also imagine giving these dipshits access to your brain meats, they were roasting dozens of monkeys for no reason just a couple months ago.
I wonder if prisoners will start getting “lighter” sentences (inflated in advance) by “volunteering” for this. :lathe-of-heaven:
Roasting puts it in perspective I think. Imagine knowing how much heat computer chips put out, and still thinking shoving one in someone’s brain is a good idea.

Not many think about that part (myself included), and you’re absolutely right, but King Bazinga doesn’t care because he wants the cyberpunkerinos to come true because the blue curtains were that epic.

That is the only thing Neuralink has accomplished that other firms didn’t do decades ago - they’ve managed to apply more probes per square inch, which would theoretically allow for more fine grained control. But they’re sloppy, so they kill their monkeys, and their implant can’t do anything that wasn’t explored ten or twenty years ago.
unless theyre offering absurd financial incentives that even poor people who have no idea what an elon musk is start signing up for trials
If this isn’t opposed sufficiently, there is no reason :porky-happy: wouldn’t use coercion to push it on prisoners, immigrants, the disabled, and others from there, until it’s an expected obligation to have any gainful work at all in much the same way an internet connection is roughly that now.
Oh, so we criticize Musk for testing on intelligent creatures like monkeys, he listens and tests on far dumber SpaceX fans instead, and we’re still complaining? There’s no pleasing you people
:rat-salute-2: A salute to the brave libertarian martyr who volunteers to instantly die and have their consciousness sent to Cyber Hell
:frothingfash:: “The vaccine will microchip me!”
:so-true:: “I’m going to be first in line to get my Neuralink, you should get it too! It will help you with being more normal, like me! It will help you be more productive in your job, and it will track you to make sure you only patronize places the 4chan council approves of! Wouldn’t want you making Jesus sad, now would we?”
Imagine the headlines if China created brain chips
If your social credit score gets too low they’ll turn off one of your eyes!

In Burgerland, however, if you act woke and entitled you clearly don’t deserve to have those eyes :grillman:
