I just hope the first victim will be a techbro

The first person to receive the neuralink is a paralyzed individual with no quality of life. This may help them communicate with their loved ones.

I don't get why people don't see that this is a medical device.

Medical devices aren't supposed to kill their users, which is what happened in the animal testing phase. It didn't even have a single successful case of doing what it's supposed to.

Jesus, it didn't? I already know I never want this horrible thing and I know all those monkeys died so I don't read about it in depth, but they never even got the thing to work? Somebody needs to stop him.

It did work in terms of output, I'm pretty sure. It's just that all the monkeys (and pigs) died due to complications, and some had gruesome deaths
