On October 31, Elon Musk plans to hold a “show and tell” for his company Neuralink. But he won’t be sharing the real stories. Away from the news conferences and carefully selected videos, Neuralink employees have been mutilating and killing monkeys in pursuit of developing a “brain-machine interface...
That is all. This modern Mengele is now going to start ordering the same to be done to paralyzed human beings. I see no reason why this won't be extended to prisoners and other typical nazi targets soon.
The animal abuse makes me think hes more of an Edison than a Tesla

Honestly I think this kind of technology could be useful and good but fuck me there has to be at least 2 dozen other ways to go about it that are loads more ethical and humane. Plugging gear into people's brains is already a thing, after all. We already do these stuff on real people for treatments with seizures and hearing and prosthetics and shit without 95% of the ethical quandaries Elon is happily stumbling into. What a fucking asshole.
Mengele is the right comparison because this is not just some oafs botching a surgery, this is sadist shit.
Also the poor monkey finding some comfort by holding hands with her "roommate" through the cage makes me want to cry

Didn't Elon recently try and justify the use of lab monkeys for the experiment by saying they only used monkeys that were at the end of their lifespan? This one was just 6 years old. Not that it'd shock me that emerald boy would lie, but see almost no push back on this is sickening.
Also scary how the people doing this experiment only continued pushing further and further. Like, how desensitized to this shit are they going to be once they start doing trials on humans? How far are they going to take it?
It's wild that "It's okay, we only did this on DISABLED monkeys" is the thought that comes into his mind and he thinks, "Yeah, that's perfect. People will understand and be fine with it."

This is a guy who has a company that is messing with brains. He can't even grasp, nay worse, rejects modern psychology. How the hell is he going to begin to understand how to deal with the brain?
Doesn't the brain give off electromagnetic waves? Can it not also recieve such waves? Why are they stuck on sticking electrodes in squishy brain matter than just putting a "thinking cap" on?
Those hard drugs they put that monkey on holy shit. Tourture. Just torture. Did they not consider the monkey was rejecting the implant and maybe, idk, take the damned thing out? But for months they tortured her. Serial killer vibes.
Maybe someone should use a fork on the melon man's melon

This actually makes me want to vomit. The thought of doing this to disabled people and being praised for it is so fucking gross
this is like George Saunders' 93990 but in real lifebut but I saw one video of monke playing video game
That was so cool and totally worth this absolute barbarism
