Human beings are going to die at the hands of Neuralink surgeons.
Probably. Human beings also died when we were figuring out organ transplants, and still do, sometimes.
Yeah the deaths from organ transplants, the risky operations performed as a last ditch effort to save patients who would otherwise die from incurable organ failure, definitely justifies killing 1500 monkeys to allow people to tweet by thinking.
If you think that's the primary purpose of neuralink, then there's no point discussing this with you.
The primary purpose of neuralink is to make neuralink corp, and by extension elon musk, money.
Which is why you can trust them to put stuff in your brain.

So, what's the point en neuralink that justifies killing monkeys and now a few humans? It's that important to bring us a few steps forward into another dystopia?
Short term: giving people with certain disabilities control over their bodies. Things like allowing paralysed people the ability to move, or giving sight to the blind, etc. Long term: changing the way we communicate with computers and each other.
A transplanted organ is considered a morbid condition in and of itself. The patient is dying, just less quickly than without the transplant.
I'd think this might have improved with cloned organs, but I don't think those are common enough to tell.
Billionaires do not seem ro mind when people die for their vanity projects, and Musk is pushing this one quickly.
