Neuralink Co-Founder Suggests He Left Elon Musk's Company Over Safety Concerns
When is Elon releasing the Neuralink chip with Full Self Driving Autopilot?
For doing chores, going to work, school, listening to your SO complain about something. The applications are limitless!
I spend all day oiling up supermodel's bodies and I would love a way to escape from that.
Sounds just like the Rick and Morty episode "Night Family".
Went great for them!
No lie ... if they could make a chip that like ... Shuts off cognition while I'm at the gym so I don't have to experience it ... I'd consider it.
I really hate working out.
have you seen the show Severance? This is exactly the premise of that show.
Oh you thought that was for damage prevention? No it’s actually to make sure it gets wet. I heard the Cybertruck’s trunk department QC’d it.
This is older news. The company is competing with PETA in most animals killed.
What's the story on PETA killing animals?
They have shelters that euthanized a high number of animals. They have also stolen animals from owners including homeless people and children.
TL;DR: Domesticated animals deserve death. More specifically, because they letting them live is "inhumane" because they won't thrive without human influence—which they're strictly against.
IMO: These people are fucking psychopaths.
Edit: Yes, that specific site is sponsored by the meat industry. I didn't think it needed to be said, but don't take sensational topics at face value and read any receipts provided (which they did). Or, use Google and find other sources (that are also probably backed by corporate or political interests). In either case, PETA has made it pretty clear that they're hypocrites who are euthanizing healthy animals.
High ideals but no means. They become hoarders and run out of money. Also it’s an org that long ago stopped being healthy.
If you saw the build quality of Teslas, and his handling of Twitter, and him calling a diver a paedo, and you still thought "I should let that man perform medical experiments on me", then you probably fucking deserve it tbh.
Just go for it. What's the worst that can happen? You get double brain damage?
Eh. He’s an asshole of the highest order but I imagine some people are willing to take the risk, given the impact it could have on their lives.
I’m talking people who just exist at the moment and something like this might be beneficial to them.
To be 100% clear, because yall some bitches at times. I find Elon an abhorrent person. Twitter is wank, Tesla is dead in the water and the boring company is just that.
Why is his face so punch-able?
I think it's 'cause we know more about him. I think if we knew he was a whimsical dude and legitimately trying to help people instead of enriching himself, we'd see these pics and give him a bit more of a pass.
Because he looks like a smug bastard
Because you have violent tendencies that cloud your clarity of thought
I've been doubting all the claims about the guy that had the chip installed too
What a pic.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
But anyone who’s ready to raise their hands for brain surgery might want to hear what one of the Neuralink co-founders recently said during an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
The Wall Street Journal podcast The Future of Everything recently sat down with Dr. Benjamin Rapoport, a neurosurgeon who co-founded Neuralink with Musk and a team of scientists back in 2016.
Rapoport left Neuralink to start his own company called Precision Neuroscience and one specific part of the interview really stood out to us.
Brain-computer interfaces have made tremendous strides in the past decade, allowing people to literally control machines with their thoughts.
Companies like Musk’s Neuralink tend to get all the headlines, but there are a number of firms, including Synchron, Paradromics, and Precision Neuroscience.
Neuralink has received plenty of criticism over the years, with MIT Technology Review calling it “neuroscience theater” back in 2020, and horrifying allegations of monkey torture were revealed in 2022.
The original article contains 608 words, the summary contains 157 words. Saved 74%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
On one hand, yea I don't want brain damage. On the other hand, if it means I can move robotic limbs after being paralyzed, maybe it's still worth it?
Like the idea of having neural interfaces that don't penetrate the brain is obviously great, but if that tech doesn't come for another 50 years, what are the current people going to do instead?
I'm not on the waiting list for Neuralink, but if I'm gonna be honest, the hate for it is over amplified.
if it means I can move robotic limbs after being paralyzed, maybe it's still worth it?
I don't mind the progress in science and technology.
I don't mind sacrificing some animals for that goal.
The really terrible thought is that Elon is allowed to decide these things.
I don't think the concept is bad. I take a medicine that may give me cognition problems when I'm very old, but it's remarkably effective for me right now and provides a significant quality of life improvement. So, I've chosen to stay on it.
That's different I think though from Neuralink as it is today. There need to be stringent safety measures in place and controls on testing. We've come a long way on neurology, but we still have a lot we don't understand.
Are you trying to suggest that the guy who thought driving Teslas in tunnels underground was the most efficient method of transportation shouldn't be trusted with inserting chips into people's brains?
He didn't actually think it was the most efficient. It's way worse. He knew he could get a proposed high speed rail line killed so it wouldn't cut into his car sales. He did not care one bit what happened after it died. Everything else was his PR team.
Oh for sure. He was absolutely sabotaging the proposed train network and it unfortunately worked...
And also all our monkey cousins died. :(
