But wasn’t there ONE GUY who volunteered himself to be the first human neuralink recipient? He was good-natured about it, healthy & great personality but permanently wheelchair bound, and he was like, “Sure what the hell, I’m down to try it.”
Please tell me if I’m mis-remembering any of those details.
Neuralink the company implanted a non-neuralink device in a volunteers brain, the breakthrough being the technology to implant the device, not the device itself.
Implanting a brain probe is hardly a breakthrough. Implanting a fuckton, well that’s a bit different. There’s certainly got to be neurosurgery advances before we can get to what has been marketed
