If Neuralink can prove its device is safe in humans, it would still potentially take more than a decade for the start-up to secure commercial use approval
He wants to use this technology to “cure autism,” which sounds like it’s coming from a position of self-loathing, projected onto everybody else. If he wants to stick chips into his brain, fine, but personally, I don’t need a cure for the disease of being me.
I wouldn’t trust Musk if he told me that water makes things wet.
He’s a snake oil salesman.
What a fucking echo chamber this place is. Rename the community to /c/FuckMusk and get it over with
Well the best way to not have us talk about Musk like he’s a moron is for Musk to stop acting like a moron.
This is gonna end up terrible, why the hell would you want chip in your brain?
In capitalism, there is no doubt this will be used to compel labor. Imagine if your boss or some authority could inflict severe pain that causes no physical damage until you comply? Hello neo-slavery!
In socialism, there is no doubt this will be used to compel labor. Imagine if your commissar or some authority could inflict severe pain that causes no physical damage until you comply? Hello neo-slavery!
In an authoritarian socialist society maybe, like a USSR of 2025. Socialism doesn’t imply authoritarianism, e.g. libertarian socialism, anarcho-communism
That’s not socialism…
Sounds dystopian, this sounds like an episode straight out of Black mirror why the hell would anybody want to support this?(or is there nobody aside from elon supporting it?)
This sounds like something that everyone else is going to not comment on until they see how it turns out. Not to mention that it is way too early to even test on humans cause the monkey trails ended badly. Though I’m sure the Musk fanboys will line up as fast as possible.
As someone who likes the idea of transhumanism:
I’ma fuckin’ pass, dog.
Dude cant even get the software on teslas to work right and we are going to trust him with brain implants? Lol
Look how it went for monkey test subjects. 😳
They were going to ask for volunteers from Musk’s legions of loyal fans, but then they realised the subjects needed to have brains.
Just finished my first cuppa and had a nice and literal lol. Thanks for starting my day right!
This is completely dystopian.
As others have said, Elon should test this on himself before he tests it on others, if he’s really so confident in it.
It is inevitable that this will have negative health effects, and when that happens, Elon will just wipe his hands and say “not my problem”.

I’mma call it right here, shot will go south, quickly, people will end up in prison, and Musk will somehow not be one of them.
i give it max a year or two after the first implant before we read about trials starting in the headlines.
I mean, it didn’t go well for the monkeys. Maybe if they are fucking people up, someone will stop them, but I doubt it.
This is the part of this story that I remember. It went so well with the monkeys so now they get to try on humans?
I’m pretty sure everything you need to understand the answer to your questions can be summed up in two words. Elon Musk.
