    Neurolink has been used on 1 disabled person, and it was “working” for about 2 weeks before it was announced there are “problems” with the connection to the brain.

    Oh, and it has killed a bunch of monkeys.

      I dislike the thought of ol musky rushing neurolink or even being remotely involved with something put into someone’s brain, the also claimed they doubled the bandwidth of the connections via software optimizations so the disconnected wires doesn’t have a large impact. Also from the comments of other Lemmy users from that article, my understanding was that it is a common problem for some of the wires used to probe the brain for input to pop out after surgeries where they implant a processing chip into a person’s brain.
