How many more apes do you think should be sacrificed before it's properly ready for human trials?

Love it when I can buy personal massage devices and heavy earth moving machinery from the same place

Unfortunelately no, I live on the opposite side of the planet

I've only been doing this for around 6 months so I haven't had any that special jobs so far but I did a small kitchen remodel to one customer where I tore down the old and build a new one for her which was quite enjoyable job.

My favourite jobs are ones that require creativity and problem solving. When ever I can fix something instead of replacing it is fun. This is a recent example of such job:

It's honestly easier to list what I don't do which is building something bigger than a shed, electric work, work inside tanks / wells, challenging tree fellings, jobs that require more than one person such as roofing, asbestos demolition and jobs where I need to deal with refrigerants.

It wouldn't really matter. If I knowingly install something "wrong" it's on me even if it's how the customer wanted it. I wouldn't agree to something like this if I was worried about it causing issues in the future. After 2 years it's no longer on my responsibility.

I don't agree with the premise. Being a shitty person doesn't mean everything they do is also shitty. Musk singlehandedly popularized electric cars, he's the first person to develop re-usable rockets thus cutting the price of transporting stuff to orbit by over a half and he's also responsible for being the first to create a truly global satellite internet effectively for the whole world. If you can't give him credit for any of that then you're simply just not looking at it objectively but rather with emotionally motivated reasoning.

I was a nervous wreck for months while getting the preparations done to start up. Never been that anxious before. I just had to do it because I knew I'd regret if I didn't.

It is. The problem is that vinyl carpet floor can be too soft for vinyl planks and thus in the worst case the seams might open up. Laying vinyl planks on laminate or parquet wouldn't be an issue because it's a hard surface.

It's the original vinyl flooring in this case and even though it's not generally recommended to lay "luxury vinyl planks" on top of it, it usually is not a problem and the customer didn't want me to tear out the old flooring due to how much extra work that would cause.

I would notice but what I would be even more concerned about is how they got into my house

I like hearing this so it must be true

I started my own business which involves going into people's homes and fixing shit. I'm meeting a ton of new people nowdays, granted most of them are either elderly or single older women / moms.

My intention is to not make you feel more comfortable. I'm only providing more up-to-date info on what you just said.

I doubt it has any use in reality.

Some possible future use cases would be things like:

• Restoring Mobility: Bypassing spinal cord damage to regain limb control.
• Treating Neurological Disorders: Modulating brain activity for conditions like Parkinson’s or epilepsy.
• Restoring Vision and Hearing: Bypassing damaged pathways to directly stimulate the brain.
• Enhancing Communication: Translating thoughts into speech for those with severe impairments.
• Prosthetic Control: Enabling natural movement with brain-controlled prosthetics.
• Treating Mental Health: Targeting brain circuits to manage depression or PTSD.
• Memory Restoration: Helping those with memory loss, like in Alzheimer’s.

Didn’t it already fuck up in the first human guinea pig?

Nope. He's doing better than ever. Some of the threads god pulled out because it turns out that brain moves inside the skull more than they anticipated but they've made up for that with optimization and system updates. The performance of the first unit is better today than it has ever been. This is coming directly from Noland himself who has been quest on several podcasts.

You think neuralink has not been properly tested and vetted? It's perfectly fine not to want to have anything to do with stuff related to Musk but atleast be honest about the true reasons then. The uninformed opinions I'm reading here are solely based on emotions.

The first chip works better now than the day it was impanted. It's not exactly that it's "failing", some of the threads got pulled out because it turns out human brain moves inside the skull more than they anticipated. However they've managed to make up for that with optimization so the performance today is better than it has ever been.

Well, I'm on Lemmy myself, so perhaps that's some sort of an indication of where I prefer to discuss thing with people in general, not just about AI. My list of blocked users is rather vast though, so a big part of the loudest haters are being filtered out from my feed. That surely contributes to the better experience here - or atleast less bad.

Definitely prefered it over there at reddit, but I'm a man of principle so I'm not going back either.

Well I'd say that for a person to be evil they'd need to be doing evil things with the sole intention of causing harm with nothing good coming out of it. Perhaps a good caricature of an evil person would be someone wanting to destroy the world including themselves. Admittedly such people absolutely does exists so maybe that debunks my own claim.

However if someone draws joy from causing harm to others I wouldn't still call it evil but more like extreme disregard; you don't care how others feel, only how it makes you feel. This is why I don't think billionaires abusing the system for their own benefit makes them evil because causing harm is a byproduct of their selfish goals but not the intention of them. Similarly someone like Hitler wasn't evil either because causing suffering to the jews was not the reason he set up the death camps but rather a way to achieve his other goals.
