It’s been briefly mentioned in the thread about Musk buying Twitter but think this is different enough to warrant its own thread.
Neuralink is meant to be developing devices to be implanted directly into human brains and nerves. The claim is that they will help paralysed people walk. It’s the the standard science fiction implant fantasy.
However it appears his management style has:
Caused animal testing to be rushed, causing needless suffering
No records on the number of animals used in experiments
Caused number of animal deaths to be higher than needed because of Musk’s demands for faster research
Caused questions to be raised internally about the quality of the research data
The Reuters report seems very well sourced and credible: https://www.reuters.com/technology/m...ts-2022-12-05/
The recent announcement of an investigation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration adds more weight to the concerns raised in the Reuters report.
It seems that this might be yet another pipe dream crashing down to earth.
