Good rule for life.. NEVER let someone cut you open unless it will save your life or drastically improve it. I was thinking along the lines of quadriplegics regaining autonomy than just futurisms. I could get excited about something that gives people their lives back. Would that ever come out of a company run by Musk? I highly doubt it. But if it weren't him or other tech bros there could be a chance that it could turn into something that helps people.
I don’t know but I’d bet the person who got that implant is in a desperate situation without much to lose.
I know neuralink’s first focus is on things like deep brain stimulation, which can take a person from having almost constant tremors and rictus, to be able to use their body. So I’d wager this particular implant probably has some potentially huge upside for someone who’s living in hell already anyway.
I hope so!
