    Well if we’re on shitting on his character. This man had the opportunity to change the approach to implementing neuralink tech to make it less destructive but instead chose to continue with their direction. A direct competitor has since proven that there was no need to be so invasive.

      I’m glad it’s been officially proven by a competitior. I’ve been shouting that since articles came out about the first human test subject. All of that invasive surgery, issues with the brain tissue pushing out some of the wires, and the best denonstrable result is that he can use a computer mouse with his mind?

      There are so many damn options for accessibility with computer control (even mouse control) that don’t involve invasive brain surgery, and we know that we can monitor brain activity pretty clearly through sensors on the scalp.
