I’ll just leave this here.
“We’ve got now three humans with Neuralinks implanted and they’re all working well,” Musk said
I thought the first one had more or less stopped working.
It did. Work well -> not officially dead yet
I can’t help but imagine a rotting body that the chip is just allowing to be remote controlled as they Weekend at Bernie’s it around PR events.
“They’re fine, see!”
Corporate-sponsored zombie apocalypse you say?
More like the plot to Tim Burton’s Batman Forever.
An army of cybernetic penguins?
I’m pretty sure the opposite is what’s true. The neural links degrade over time and the implant loses the ability to function.
Wasn’t he in one of the demoed robots a few months back?
That’s not true at all, that guy even wants a second one implanted for even more functionality, and he’s extremely happy with it.
a bunch of threads retracted but it still works, plus it seems they fixed that for future ones
edit: guys look i know elon musk bad but these are really the facts http://youtube.com/watch?v=Xlv4biIY6JI
who would be dumb enough to get a chip from elon musk insert in your brain
People who can’t walk/use hands/see etc. Why would it be dumb when you almost have nothing to lose cause you are greatly disabled already.
Pardon me if I don’t believe the lying fascist at his word. Let’s hear from the victim/experts on how they’re doing.
I wouldn’t listen to a victim who says it’s great, because they’ve got a brain implant from Elon Musk. For all I know it’s like Get Out.
How did this go from killing monkeys to human trials so fast?
Im sure they are. Its just i dont trust a chip in my head capable of controlling my body. I want foss software with security better than qubes before i risk becoming a zombie.
I agree until there’s at least open source software to run them. I would not want anything to do with it. Honestly, though, I would prefer both open source hardware and software for this if at all possible.

Fair i would trust intelme or amdpsp even less in my head than i do in my computer.
I haven’t been following this and didn’t see any mention in the article, what makes you say it can control your body? The only applications I’ve seen mentioned read from the body to control external devices, and manipulating the brain/body (with precision) would be a much harder problem I’d think.
The experiments they did in pigs they where literaly controlling the body of the pig to make it walk.
Its a hard problem that they have already solved using AI (machine learning but u gotta get the buzzword in there). I would be far more inclined to get one if it was provably single direction only tho.
I’m going to go ahead and say that you do not want the Linux kernel running inside your head, under any circumstances.
Id prefer it to windows.
And what do third parties not associated with Musk say?
Musk has a history of “saying” things, and presenting mundane advancements that have already been achieved as things he invented.
Never thought I’d live to see 40k servitors but here we are.
🍟
Time to grab your popcorn and watch as all 3 people die within less than a year of the implant due to complications or them having accidentally lobotomized and running into danger head first.
The first person got the implant on January 28 2024. Your clock is ticking.
Damn, you’re right. I hate it when I could possibly be wrong.
And Musk is totally one of the top PoE 2 players in the world.
“Update log: The third patient’s chip has malfunctioned, and played All I Want For Christmas Is You on repeat. Patient commited suicide after a week.”
Working well doing what?
I mean you could just read an article if you’re guna ask questions like that lol. They have 2 studies open with the FDA:
“The Prime Study, designed for an estimated five patients, allows paralyzed patients to control external devices such as computers or smartphones with their minds. A second study, Convoy, is designed for three patients, and allows them to control devices such as assistive robotic arms.”
I missed it skimming the article. It’s a good thing having it in the thread, so thanks for doing the work.
Lol missed it skimming 4 short paragraphs?🤣 The Cat in the Hat has more fuckin words than this article so don’t be a douche and just say you didn’t even open the article.
“It’s a good thing having it in the thread, so thanks for doing the work.” douchiest comment of the year so far!🥇🏆🏅
Well I’m glad I could brighten your day. Nothing like a good laugh, eh. Take care.
I don’t even need to read to comments to be able to predict it’s 100% cynicism and snide jokes. That’s how predictable this platform is.
Isn’t that just contributing cynicism?
Isn’t that kinda what’s called for, here?
