BREAKING: Federal lawmakers demand an #SEC probe into whether Elon Musk committed securities fraud after WIRED stories shed doubt on his claims about the health and wellbeing of #Neuralink's animal test subjects.
Niemand heeft de proefpersoon gezien, er is niks bekend over integratie of functionaliteit. Voor hetzelfde geld hebben ze gewoon heel hard met een chip naar iemands hoofd gegooid.
“Secrecy is given top priority, not merely because of the proprietary research being conducted at the center, but also out of fear that the public will respond poorly—perhaps violently—to images of the macaques being experimented on.”
After this was revealed, #Musk stopped allowing any oversight of the clinical trials.
...Animal 15 began to lose coordination and staff observed that she would shake uncontrollably when she saw lab workers. Her condition deteriorated for months until the staff finally euthanized her. A necropsy report indicates that she had bleeding in her brain and that the #Neuralink implants left parts of her cerebral cortex “focally tattered.”...
Everything about #neuralink is so very #cyberpunk, but not the aspects that we want to see happening. Company ran by a scumbag capitalist who has never invented anything that killed a bunch of lab animals with testing and covered it all up. Now implanting it's tech into a human test subject.
In a #ttrpg this would be the company the PC's are hired to burn down because they making every other tech company look bad.
#Neuralink from Musk (a.k.a. Space Karen) is another of his scam businesses. He's inflating the value by thinking out loud what might be possible but they are lightyears away from delivering. The company is ignoring many rules and standards to make progress at all cost. Media is reporting about them as it would be a "normal" company.
It is not. They are taking much more risk than other companies. The CEO is really a lunatic with a god complex and journalists are doing free advertisement for them. Stop that until they delivered something practical and legal.
As impressive as Musk's solitary NeuraLink demo is, beneath the hype lies a misperception with a disturbing parallel to large language models. Both operate on statistical inference rather than scientific models of the brain, and garner attention for cherrypicked successes 1/3
