Read --utube actually--  today of man with highly educational degrees and on top of that list  a neurosurgen also,  and that man stayed on one year with Musk Neural Link, then thought this was too intrusive to the brain.   

Then he went on to develop less intrusive  { think patch } that slips between skull and top of brain, so less centimeters** into the brain as neural links are 4 - and 8 centimeters planned{ ? }**,  and all knew this  intrusive vertical links into brain, vis the animal experiments, these link-sticks retract over time.

That doesnt sound good.  Retract to whwere exactly?  The brain linning?  The skull?

And his these alternative, thin sensor wafers, are used mainly on people who already have some disease of the brain, and **these sensors are better at getting data** from those people with disease than the the more intrusive neural links.

The analogy he uses is this, imagin as if your in your appartment listening to muffle sounds, through wall,  in appartment next door. With his systems, you at their apt. door, and your open the door and and gather data from the doorway, whereas with neural links, your intruding into the crowd of people { the brain cells/matter } to get data.

Sorry I dont have the link any more.  Again this dude has so many tech skills under his belt, and being a neurosurgon was just icing on his educational list.  His surgies also so much less intrusive to scalp and skull as well as brain, than the neural links.

Humanity invented lobotomy. This is just lobotomy with extra steps. I guess regular lobotomy became boring for people.

The originator of the procedure, Portuguese neurologist António Egas Moniz, shared the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine of 1949 for the "discovery of the therapeutic value of leucotomy in certain psychoses",[n 1] although the awarding of the prize has been subject to controversy.[4]

The use of the procedure increased dramatically from the early 1940s and into the 1950s; by 1951, almost 20,000 lobotomies had been performed in the United States and proportionally more in the United Kingdom.[5] 

A large number of patients were gay men.[6] More lobotomies were performed on women than on men: a 1951 study found that nearly 60% of American lobotomy patients were women, and limited data shows that 74% of lobotomies in Ontario from 1948 to 1952 were performed on female patients.[7][8][9] From the 1950s onward, lobotomy began to be abandoned,[10] first in the Soviet Union[11] and Europe.[12]

In the United States, approximately 40,000 people were lobotomized and in England, 17,000 lobotomies were performed.

According to one estimate, in the three Nordic countries of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, a combined figure of approximately 9,300 lobotomies were performed.[140] 

Scandinavian hospitals lobotomized 2.5 times as many people per capita as hospitals in the US.[141] According to another estimate, Sweden lobotomized at least 4,500 people between 1944 and 1966, mainly women. This figure includes young children.[142] 

And in Norway, there were 2,005 known lobotomies.[143] In Denmark, there were 4,500 known lobotomies.[144]

 In Japan, the majority of lobotomies were performed on children with behaviour problems. The Soviet Union banned the practice in 1950 on moral grounds.[145][146][147]

Elon Musk’s Neuralink, a medical device, opens new tab company, is under federal investigation for potential animal-welfare violations amid internal staff complaints that its animal testing is being rushed, causing needless suffering and deaths, according to documents reviewed by Reuters and sources familiar with the investigation and company operations.

Not too surprising based on info I presented in this thread, and as we see Elon comes out batting more and for Trumpet and Make America Dumb Again { MADA } cult.

So Elon offers to give a baby or babies to childles cat women, and there is no telling what his unfolding soul will do next.

Better ideas to work on inventing than going to Mars.

1} air quality, water quality, food quality, shelter quality, communication quality,  other energy { gross generalization } involving sustenance of a thriving bio-diverse Earth set of circumstances that will cause least suffering to most people,

2} ..........?........................

But Neuralink isn’t the only company developing brain-computer interfaces to help people who have lost the ability to move or speak. In fact, Synchron, a New York–based company backed by funding from Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, has already implanted its device in 10 people.

No, Elon Musk donated 200 million to help Trump win.

Yes, to help him win with a Neuralink in him.

If Trump allowed Elon Musk to implant a Neuralink, Trump would be working for Elon Musk. Instead Trump offered a job to Elon Musk after taking his money.
