Neuralink Co-Founder Suggests He Left Elon Musk's Company Over Safety Concerns

Are you trying to suggest that the guy who thought driving Teslas in tunnels underground was the most efficient method of transportation shouldn't be trusted with inserting chips into people's brains?

When is Elon releasing the Neuralink chip with Full Self Driving Autopilot?

Little advice for those getting this procedure. Do not forget to put your Neuralink in shower mode when you take a shower. You have been warned.

This is older news. The company is competing with PETA in most animals killed.

If you saw the build quality of Teslas, and his handling of Twitter, and him calling a diver a paedo, and you still thought "I should let that man perform medical experiments on me", then you probably fucking deserve it tbh.

Just go for it. What's the worst that can happen? You get double brain damage?

Why is his face so punch-able?

I've been doubting all the claims about the guy that had the chip installed too

What a pic.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

But anyone who’s ready to raise their hands for brain surgery might want to hear what one of the Neuralink co-founders recently said during an interview with the Wall Street Journal.

The Wall Street Journal podcast The Future of Everything recently sat down with Dr. Benjamin Rapoport, a neurosurgeon who co-founded Neuralink with Musk and a team of scientists back in 2016.

Rapoport left Neuralink to start his own company called Precision Neuroscience and one specific part of the interview really stood out to us.

Brain-computer interfaces have made tremendous strides in the past decade, allowing people to literally control machines with their thoughts.

Companies like Musk’s Neuralink tend to get all the headlines, but there are a number of firms, including Synchron, Paradromics, and Precision Neuroscience.

Neuralink has received plenty of criticism over the years, with MIT Technology Review calling it “neuroscience theater” back in 2020, and horrifying allegations of monkey torture were revealed in 2022.

The original article contains 608 words, the summary contains 157 words. Saved 74%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

On one hand, yea I don't want brain damage. On the other hand, if it means I can move robotic limbs after being paralyzed, maybe it's still worth it?

Like the idea of having neural interfaces that don't penetrate the brain is obviously great, but if that tech doesn't come for another 50 years, what are the current people going to do instead?

I'm not on the waiting list for Neuralink, but if I'm gonna be honest, the hate for it is over amplified.
