Anyone getting this shit will die just like every single fucking monkey test subject. If they don’t die, their suffering will be unbearable

Go on Elon, show us how it’s done and take the first one
This is some Josef Mengele shit. He better be held accountable after this inevitable shit show.
Wow, thank you for linking that article, I hadn’t read it yet. That’s absolutely horrible, and it doesn’t surprise me that Elon has orchestrated something so cruel in the name of progress.
In the name of money*

UC Davis veterinary records cited by the Physicians Committee—which WIRED also obtained through a subsequent California public records request—chronicle a battery of complications that developed following procedures involving electrodes being surgically implanted into monkeys’ brains. The complications include bloody diarrhea, partial paralysis, and cerebral edema, a condition colloquially known as “brain swelling.”
Additional veterinary reports show the condition of a female monkey called “Animal 15” during the months leading up to her death in March 2019. Days after her implant surgery, she began to press her head against the floor for no apparent reason; a symptom of pain or infection, the records say. Staff observed that though she was uncomfortable, picking and pulling at her implant until it bled, she would often lie at the foot of her cage and spend time holding hands with her roommate.
Yeah. I think I’ll pass.
That last line man. Wow.
Poor girl was in serious distress.
I think whomever it was at the FDA that approved this shit for human trials needs to be investigated. It reeks of corruption.
I’m never getting one. If it ever gets to the point where I have to get a brain implant as a condition for a employment, and all the jobs are like that then I guess I’ll just be homeless.
My brain runs arch btw
As if it wouldn’t be super illegal to hack it and remove the tracking software. AKA Windows 11 BE (Brain Edition).
Imagine the subscription service to your brain, that if you don’t pay, you get turret syndrome or something lol… Actually, it’s not funny, but sadly, that’ll be a thing for sure…
Mark of the beast aside, alterations to the mind like this are insulting God in Christianity and Islam.
I’m not getting this or any other chips.
The real problem will be when employees simply can’t be competitive without it and not having it will relegate them to jobs for severely disabled people.
Are glasses an affront to your god? What about braces? Cochlear implants? How about ventilators? Synthetic insulin? Should I keep going or did you get the point?
Fuck Elon Musk and the inevitable shit show that’s going to happen during the human trials, but it’s got nothing to do with any god.
No. Just no. The problem isn’t anything having to do with religion. I absolutely do not subscribe to the notion that we shouldn’t improve technology just because “it makes humans too godlike” or some shit.
Governments and corporations already abuse the fuck out of smartphone “privacy” as it is. No way in hell I’m giving these authoritarian bastards a direct link to my brain.
There are few companies products I want in my body less than from anything that Musk is involved in.
The fact he hasn’t had one installed himself shows he has no confidence in his product. Please don’t go on twitter and tell him he shouldn’t sell products he refuses to use.
So Elon is the first one to get one, right? What do you mean, he doesn’t want one?
Uhhh after you Elon
He already had it implanted. That’s why he is so fucked up.
Let’s test it on the Elongate Muskrat first
Can’t wait for them to start beaming ads directly into our brains
Yeah that happens in the 2009 movie Hardwired. That’s not a future I want to be part of tbh.
I already get Lighspeed briefs ads in my dreams.
I can’t wait to get X advertising streamed directly into my dreams.
But I use Wayland.
NICE
but still: etc/gdm3/custom.conf WaylandEnable=false
Har har har! Whew. That one’s a lil rough :P
I’m sure there’s tons of Muskrat fans who’d love one but unfortunately they don’t have brains.
Let him be the first patient.
Is it, though?

That is a fascinating read, I had no idea how far multiple companies have already gotten on neural impulse translations and practical implementation.
Thanks, this Com is just awful about paywalls
use 12ft ladder to remove paywall
The US FDA is a captured organization. This operation won’t even pass a research level ethics commitee.
