    Death cult. No joke here, no hyperbole. Death cult.

    EDIT: To me, starting with people with paralysis and taking advantage of their desperation to do underegulated shit that already caused untold suffering and death to primate subjects is still death cult shit in the way it’s tricking people into false hope and sloppy pseudoscientific “experiments” for the sake of the fever dreams of the cult leader.

    Neuralink said in a blog post that it was looking for people who had paralysis in all four limbs because of a spinal-cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

    Hey business insider you really buried the lede there. The opening makes it seem like they’re just talking about bazinga brained morons

      I think if I’d lost the use of 90% of my body I’d be extra protective of the 10% that still works and not eager to let melon-musk sloppily jam some dangerous shit in there

      They’re still bazinga brains

    Could you imagine if it worked? And it was the human instrumentality project made up of bazinga-brained redditors? What a wondrous and grotesque being would be born. I cannot imagine a more fitting ending for this accursed species

      Then company goes under or deems your implant non-profitable and stops supporting it and now your brain implant software doesn’t work. That’s already a thing with other medical devices.

          Is this a eugenics thing? Like I’m sure some of his supporters actually believe his genes are important for humanity and need to be passed on. I wouldn’t be surprised if more than a few of his fans would think a crisis killing millions of people would be great because we could repopulate with billionaire DNA, who obviously have the -b e s t- genes.

            That was the implied part of the take of that one extremely reddit-logo youtube infographic series (Kurzgesagt I think) that used to do pop science interest videos but decided to bootlick for Bill Gates and started doing “billionaires ruling over us are cool and good actually” takes and the capstone of that propaganda was the climate collapse video that announced that it would be “a victory for humans” if even 1% of the world population survived because that would magically mean the world is somehow inhabitable again (instead of continuing whatever death spiral killed 99% of people) and that the elect 1% would reach the stars and otherwise attain science victory win conditions like in the 4x treats. morshupls

    It’s so wild to me how an endeavor like this (if it even actually becomes a thing) is in the hands of the private industry instead of, idk, fucking brain surgeons
