it's funny how people suddenly become enraged about something that happens all the fucking time when its someone they don't like doing it. Guess what, testing on animals has brought some of the greatest medical innovations of all time. It's unfortunate and some may see it as cruel but it serves a definite purpose. Stop pretending like you suddenly care just because a company associated with Elon Musk is doing it. Before you disagree, read some other comments in this thread and tell me that people aren't outraged not because it's killing monkeys but because it's elon musk.
There is a very meaningful difference between humane, highly regulated animal testing and what Musk is doing. Compounding this is the feeling that Musk's high profile is what's letting him get away with this in the first place. He wants to slap his name and face on everything for the credit when it's good, be gets to be the lightning rod when it's not.
My main problem is that neuralink harms monkeys without pushing the science forward because musk bullied the best neuroscientists out.
you read that on reddit?
No yeah that's exactly the problem. Because it's musk, we can be confident it is just bullshit and won't result in any meaningful innovation. It's just torturing monkeys for shits and gigs.
How can you say that? I get you hate musk and I'm no fanboy either but he objectively has been involved in projects that have been pretty innovative. Tesla put EV's on the map, especially with their charging infra. Spacex literally launches shit into space. Musk is not involved in 99.9% of the work that goes into these things.
But no, Musk personally is just torturing monkeys for shits and gigs. because he's evil, that's what reddit told me and i'm sticking to it.
