@seldo @futurebird It’s hard to see the harm here, TBH. If you’re comfortable with letting Musk poke holes in your head, you’re already an idiot.

@johncarneyau @seldo @futurebird Teslas fail to brake, brake without reason, or try to run kids over, reports say. What could people with brain implants do?

@seldo and if something goes wrong and they complain they'll see a poop emoji in response.

@seldo Apparently, the whole "killing thousands of monkeys" is not a barrier.

@seldo FDA hasn't announced it, so I assume it's just PR.I wouldn't think it's ready for human trials any time soon.

@seldo this paragraph in particular should sound all the alarms: "Neuralink employees told Reuters last year that the company was rushing and botching surgeries on monkeys, pigs and sheep, resulting in more animal deaths than necessary, as Musk pressured staff to receive FDA approval. The animal experiments produced data intended to support the company's application for human trials, the sources said."

@seldo The guy who bought a company that made the first EVs and ran it into the ground so bad, it'll probably never sell another one wants to put stuff in people's brains? Wow, great idea!

@seldo So what happens when your chip gets #hacked, or you get #ransomware, or #ElonMusk decides he doesn't like you?

@alice @seldo @actuallyautistic given the FDA's "you can study the effects after approval" mentality as of late, i have less than zero faith an FDA approval means anything good. :comfystare:

@seldo Well, considering his prior track record with rockets and cars, maybe he's just a big fan of the movie Scanners?
