Thousands of people are reportedly lining up to have a portion of their skull removed and one of Elon Musk's brain chips implanted

Musk is moving forward from killing monkeys to killing people.

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

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

Don't worry, the 40 year olds getting this chip will be near the end of their life spans so if they die it will be from natural causes.

We can't blow up the first three. That's not an option here

We will blow up the first 3 million like that scene in Kingsmen

Whenever I read about this shit I always have to think about Adam from Doctor Who.

Heard of nonfree software? How about nonfree people?

Is "Shivon Zilis" a normal name somewhere? I can't tell if my brain is rotting

Let me grab my popcorn...

Anyone else notice that the thumbnail looks exactly like ?

I have to struggle to not feel liberal emotions about the worst reddit brained people on earth linking up to have their brains literally melted for a change.

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

Great. I fully support them. I am glad for them. I can't wait to see what will happen (many bad and annoying techbros will die and the world will be better for it, and no one has to get their hands dirty because they did it to themselves, enthusiastically). I salute their contribution to science (I do not salute their contribution to science)

aren't there like laws against this or something. It feels like he shouldn't be allowed to do this

Literally the Pied Piper

This is going to go so well.

Based. The NFT era was terrible but was redeemed with the downfall era. I’m expecting good things from this, i.e. I hope they fail in the most grotesque way

I'm watching a Therac-25 before my eyes

And some of you have ZERO empathy what the actual fu--oh, hexbear. That explains some things.
