What exactly has "been done"?

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/28/elon-musk-demonstrates-brain-computer-tech-neuralink-in-live-pigs.html

Seems like all he was able to do was attach some kind of receiver to monitor
brain activity in pigs.  Will we ever know what the pigs think about that? <G>

Then the article just talks about "potential" for other things. I would be more
interested in the success/failure rate management of infections or the body's
rejection of those things.

If these pigs die from complications of this initial surgery, we will probably
not hear about that.

The truck is so ugly.  I lost interest in it.
