Mark My Words: Before 2026 we'll hear about several human Neuralink patients who died before this successful one
No way they got that shit working on humans on the first try. Someone or several people died (or were permanently damaged) from it and they've covered it up.
Don't forget terminal cancer patients. Wouldn't be suprised if thats the #1 group being recruited. PR can spin their deaths as inevitable and blame the cancer not the nueralink tumor they implanted.
The caveat being it'd be more cancer patients that are refusing any type of treatment. Gotta be healthy enough to have your brain cut apart but not filled with chemotherapy stuff or being nuked by radiation on the regular.
