@kentindell The #FDA must have the regulatory robustness of the #NHTSA, near as I can tell (at as far as experimental devices are concerned).
This is unbelievable.
To my knowledge, the #USDA OIG has not even concluded an investigation into allegations of horrid animal-welfare violations - which is, to me, a clear-cut signal as to how #Neuralink will treat any trial participants.
#Neuralink a donc obtenu le feu vert de la #FDA pour expérimenter son interface neuronale directe sur les humains.
J'ai écrit plusieurs papiers sur le sujet dont un mémo de 10 pages pour Orange. Vous pouvez lire le premier draft ici, j'y avais énoncé les problèmes éthiques que ça posait :
#Neuralink is one of the most dangerous pieces of proprietary malware yet conceived. Proprietary blobs on your computer are already bad enough, now imagine a Management Engine for your brain.
The long-term goal of Elmo's NeuraLink™ is to control the brains of guards & workers for his doomsday vault. "Full Self Autonomy" mode means you'll be in less self-control than his humanoid robots. Same thing, really.
:breathe: The FDA will apparently let Elon Musk put a computer in a human’s brain

"Neuralink has been accused of abusing its monkey test subjects, a claim the company denies. The FDA rejected an early 2022 Neuralink application for human trials, as reported by Reuters, apparently outlining “dozens of issues” the company needed to address."
