Earlier this year, the US Food and Drug Administration gave Neuralink, which Musk cofounded in 2016, approval to launch human trials of its device that Musk has described as a “Fitbit in your skull.” The FDA had previously rejected Neuralink’s bid for human testing in March over safety concerns, Reuters reported, including that the wires connected to the brain chip could move within a subject’s head or that the chip could overheat.
Wasn’t there a report about dozens of dead monkeys from animal trials a few months ago?
I dont think they reached dozens, but yes this is the same project that had dead monkey headlines rolling around
Not just dead, lot’s of suffering beforehand. Those were some nauseating stories.
I’ve read a lot of disturbing stuff on the internet but those descriptions of what the monkeys endured made me feel really uncomfortable
Well good news, if they implant in paralyzed patients and it doesn’t work no one will be able to tell they are suffering.
Science cannot move forward without heaps of dead monkeys!
