Finally some news about the first human trial.
The part about them not issuing regular progress reports since day 1 (a month or so ago) is, how these doctors put it, concerning.
Apart from that, I think jumping from monkeys to human experiments when the success rate is low feels either rush work or some high person in charge decided to go all-or-nothing.
I don't see what Elon's drug use and increasingly irratic decision-making have to to with this.
Hahahaha
"move fast and break
thingspeople"Agreed. And seems wild to allow that kind of coercion from powerful people to move into the human body stage without air tight everything.
I think it is unethical to test this technology on anyone who does not consent. It is too invasive and damaging. Our testing framework should be revised for brain interfaces.
