Probably very safe. Though the tech is interesting, that the company is owned by such a person does not instill confidence about its future uses.

Tell that to all the dead monkeys. It wasn’t that long ago that they were getting slammed for animal rights violations for having a very high number of animal fatalities in their testing compared to similar research groups.

There was even a big thread about it on Reddit where another researcher said that if there were that many deaths in any other project, it would be considered a failure and cancelled.

And now they’re upgrading to humans.

I would be down for it if it was a local only connection, no internet, it would also have to be fully owned, no license. I wouldn't even want the cons protocol to resemble tcp/ip

I'm amused how Neuralink was a highly regarded breakthrough celebrated by the likes of Reddit/Lemmy folks, but once Musk was revealed as an idiot, Neuralink is suddenly "lobotomizing".

I haven't seen anyone excited about neuralink, ever. Maybe it helps that I don't read Twitter though.

I'm in the awkward position of being genuinely excited by this type of technology while desperately wishing literally anyone but Elon Musk was pushing them.

What other proof do you need to realize that it ends badly? The recent cases of Ransomware don't worry you at all?
