  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • Well first of all, I don't personally think evil even exists.

    Secondly, I don't think these people are any more or less "evil" than the rest of us. They just operate on a much larger scale that affects many more people. If any of us normal folk would be put under equivalent level of scrutiny as these guys with journalists combing thru our every social media post and paparazzis following us around combined with the intention to dig up dirt and contribute to the negative narrative that sells better than a positive one, we'd all look like them. Most people don't like Gates, Musk or Zuck because that's the conclusion they've independently arrived at. It's how they've been told to think by the media.

  • Once a year is about how often I get sick. Even if wearing a face mask would bring that to zero it still wouldn't be worth it because dealing with the mask every day is a bigger inconvenience that being sick for a few days a year.
