85% of Neuralink implant wires are already detached, says patient

In an interview, Noland Arbaugh says the company wanted to avoid further surgery.

I’m not surprised given the person in charge, but I still feel bad for the guy. Being almost completely paralyzed, it makes total sense to jump at the chance to get some normalcy back.

I didn’t expect 85% of the wires to already detach at this point. In a just society, the whole company would be shut down and the CEO put into a bottomless pit.

    Thanks for that. Given that’s the current case, I’m now of the mind (tee hee) that we should…idk, maybe do that first before human and animal testing?

    But that would delay pushing it to market so nope no siree can’t have that

      To get the data to build and validate that type of model, you would need to study a lot more living brains than these neuralink experiments. Like, orders on orders of magnitude more. You can’t really model this sort of thing from first principles.
