That was hard to read. Those monkeys suffered greatly. I understand the need for animal trials in a device such as this though. My question is do they really think they will be able to support humans for their entire lifetime properly who get this implant? I can imagine humans being told the company went under or something when it’s time to maintain their implant.
Yes, it was a difficult read. This was more animals being unnecessarily tortured than animal testing. and Musk's lying about their suffering and deaths. He and his Neuralink team are psychopaths.
I've read about this exact thing, people with debilitating conditions who are offered state of the art tech to be implanted, but the company eventually folds and they stop maintaining or supporting it, so the people are left with a useless implant
