“asked if Neuralink would perform another surgery to fix or replace the implant, but the company declined”
Evidence whether the company saw them as a person, or felt any ethical obligation…
It’s an interesting era when an organization can have a single user, and choose to leave that single user with 85% of the promised functionality no longer functional. But is happily pursuing it’s second user.
While it sounds a like a dick move, there probably was a reason they would prefer other patients. Maybe it’s more risky to do surgery second time?
I don’t really blame them for this one, their goal is to take best steps to develop technology before they make it widespread and really functional. I blame them for all of those animals death though.
Yeah. I also can think of lots of reasonable reasons, but if those were the real reasons, the company should still be making commitments and plans with their first user…
The healthy stuff sounds like: “We intend X follow up procedure, but it needs to follow Y precaution.”
Hell, even companies that have no intention to help usually take the time to lie and claim that they do.

Actually, 85% retracted but the remaining 15% seems barelly receive signals. It is even worse

yeah, they fucked up on this one and want a new test subject.
I mean yes. They wouldn’t be part of a study of two different tests were tried or even the same test install twice.
