i’m not going to hand it to Elon but i am glad this one guy can enjoy his life more. i really hope the implant continues to work in the event that Neuralink goes out of business; i’m reminded of that bionic eye (or whatever) company that re-blinded people when it shuttered
Second Sight. Really interesting article here. They didn’t actually shut down the implants remotely or anything, but they stopped providing any and all support, meaning if you’re going in for an MRI/surgery and the doctors have questions, there’s nobody to provide answers. Didn’t even tell patients that they’d shut down.

If there is any progress at all with nueralink, I have to assume its because Elon is entirely separated from any decision making whatsoever.
