    This is some of the coolest tech thats currently within our grasp. It will not only completely cure a lot of ailments but lead to fdvr.

    Id burn alive a million monkeys if it lets some 5 year suddenly walk. Id burn double that if I can get some isekai catgirl harem going on.

    We literally torture animals just to make sure makeup is safe, get mad about that. This is some serious sci fi shit that will open an insane amount of door, regardless of who is behind it. Pick you battles.

    People that mindlessly hate on something just because Musk is involved are as brain dead as the ones that constantly praise him without thought.

      You’re welcome to volunteer to be the first patient, I mean experiment

      And those practices of testing on animals are inhumane and are being phased out.

      Edit: Oh, and we all hate it not (just) because it’s musk, but also because it’s had next to no success in animal trials and offers no benefits other than data tracking inside our heads

        How else are we going to test brain to computer interfaces? All animal testing is inhuman but some of it is necessary to advance. Like I said, go complain about animal testing for vanity products instead of society altering tech. But you won’t, because you don’t give a fuck about the animals, you only care about the musk circle jerk.

          We test them when they’re actually ready to be tested. These are clearly not even ready for animal based testing, let alone human testing.

          These devices are so far from ready they shouldn’t even be near a living animal

            Do you have insider knowledge on these technologies? How do you know it wasn’t ready? Do you think they would be at human trials if it wasn’t ready a year ago for animal testing.

            My point anyways is that we shouldn’t be doing any testing for things like mascara, but brain computer interfaces are a valid reason.

            Regardless, we do worse for things that are a lot less warranted than this. Your phone has inhumane treatment of actual humans written all over it. Your whole 1st world luxury life screams of sin but you waste your time getting mad on things that could bring about great benefit just because of a name associated with it.

            Keep screaming about it, chimp.

              Nearly every test subject died. That’s pretty clearly not ready. Don’t need insider information to know that killing the majority of your test subjects means your product isn’t ready for the next stage of testing, rather it’s ready to go back to the drawing board and start over with something that won’t kill all its subjects.

              Now you’re just being racist.

                  Calling people “chimps” is a very common slur used against black people

                    Okay, you are actually an idiot. You don’t think, that in this context, I might be just calling you a dumb monkey? I don’t know what color skin you have and I’m definitely not trying to insult it. Jesus fuck, the main subject is literally monkeys.

      I hope you’re an early adopter, given the level of resolve you have towards this.

        Hell no, but I won’t shame the ones that are either brave or desperate enough

          We should not be relying on desperate people to volunteer for life ending medical experiments because capitalism has failed them. This is a shit tier take
