Like what? (There are always ethical issues with new medical technology.)

> It might be good for certain medical stuff

Yes, like giving sight to the blind! What a monster Musk is!

P.S. two of my largest medical fears are becoming paralyzed or going blind. Neuralink has promise in making these treatable. I'm all for it!

Like mind control, thought surveillance, neural torture (the last one would be easiest).

I think these are inevitable technologies, I don't blame Neuralink in particular.

Glad we’re on the same page.

When I was using Zortech C++ in the ‘80s, I never imagined I’d be talking to the author nearly half a century later about his support for a fascist Nazi near-trillionaire.

Wtf is wrong with you.
