"We've got now three humans with Neuralinks implanted and they're all working well," Musk said

I thought the first one had more or less stopped working.

[-] Viri4thus@feddit.org 37 points 2 weeks ago

It did. Work well -> not officially dead yet

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Wasn't he in one of the demoed robots a few months back?

[-] communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

That's not true at all, that guy even wants a second one implanted for even more functionality, and he's extremely happy with it.

a bunch of threads retracted but it still works, plus it seems they fixed that for future ones

edit: guys look i know elon musk bad but these are really the facts http://youtube.com/watch?v=Xlv4biIY6JI

who would be dumb enough to get a chip from elon musk insert in your brain

[-] TypicalHog@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago

People who can't walk/use hands/see etc. Why would it be dumb when you almost have nothing to lose cause you are greatly disabled already.

[-] Jomega@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago

I'll just leave this here.

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago

Pardon me if I don't believe the lying fascist at his word. Let's hear from the victim/experts on how they're doing.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 weeks ago

I wouldn't listen to a victim who says it's great, because they've got a brain implant from Elon Musk. For all I know it's like Get Out.

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 14 points 2 weeks ago

Time to grab your popcorn and watch as all 3 people die within less than a year of the implant due to complications or them having accidentally lobotomized and running into danger head first.

Damn, you're right. I hate it when I could possibly be wrong.

[-] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 14 points 2 weeks ago

How did this go from killing monkeys to human trials so fast?

[-] Erasmus@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Never thought Iโ€™d live to see 40k servitors but here we are.

[-] OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 weeks ago

There are real problem these things can solve when implemented correctly. Regardless of Elons involvement. There is merit to the capabilities for disabled individuals. I'm all for this for health benefits but of course there will be trials and cons. Slow the hate and focus on the technology and its benefits. So much negativity.

[-] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, this is for people that are paralyzed and can do literally nothing. Anything is an improvement.

[-] OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

Right for people who have nothing to really lose. There is just so much Elon hate and I get that part. But the hate for the tech is just unfounded, when it can really change the world across so many industries. But people seem to be blinded by emotion. That they lose sight of the main reason its being developed.

And Musk is totally one of the top PoE 2 players in the world.

[-] Free_Opinions@feddit.uk 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I don't even need to read to comments to be able to predict it's 100% cynicism and snide jokes. That's how predictable this platform is.

[-] c0c0c0@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Isn't that kinda what's called for, here?

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

Isn't that just contributing cynicism?

I mean you could just read an article if you're guna ask questions like that lol. They have 2 studies open with the FDA:

"The Prime Study, designed for an estimated five patients, allows paralyzed patients to control external devices such as computers or smartphones with their minds. A second study, Convoy, is designed for three patients, and allows them to control devices such as assistive robotic arms."

[-] cholesterol@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I missed it skimming the article. It's a good thing having it in the thread, so thanks for doing the work.

[-] 11111one11111@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Lol missed it skimming 4 short paragraphs?๐Ÿคฃ The Cat in the Hat has more fuckin words than this article so don't be a douche and just say you didn't even open the article.

"It's a good thing having it in the thread, so thanks for doing the work." douchiest comment of the year so far!๐Ÿฅ‡๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ…

[-] cholesterol@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Well I'm glad I could brighten your day. Nothing like a good laugh, eh. Take care.
