This seems like a major achievement that's just casually tossed in there with no ceremony or explanation.
If you don't like that then the government will need to step up with public funds.
Look how much hatred there is for Neuralink. A company actually trying to productize and bring to market a device that will allow quadriplegic people to move and walk again, which could restore life for so many people who need help and have no other options.
So if you do try to bring it to market you’re pilloried by the press and everyone online and if you don’t it’s sad because it seems like there’s nobody trying to make the technology accessible.
People are wary of Neuralink because of how big tech manipulates peoples and pollutes society for profit, not because they are opposed to helping quadriplegics.
We've seen his track record and have a perceived idea of how he prefers to advance technology. That's why a lot of people are very nervous about him putting a chip into people's brains.
They do have a fairly high rate of both superficial and deep infection but advancements in coatings have improved the situation.
From what I remember, the major challenge was in the nerve-electrode connection, as they have a high failure rate and sending “sensation” signals back can easily cause nerve damage.
But in this case, the prosthetic must penetrate through the skin to connect to bone.
This is the kind of stuff I wish I worked on tech wise, I genuinely feel empathy
I joke... but I unironically can't wait for replacement limb tech to be that desirable. Imagine the upgrades people would get...
You can blame the incoherent travesty that is mechanistic metaphysics for the strange notion it is otherwise.
hold on there...
I replace my 2080ti with a 4080ti... is that's not an upgrade: that's instead categorically always a 'patch' to you?
metaphysically - a replacement says nothing to the quality of replacement.
Silly to think any change on anything is always for the worse...
A replacement can also be an upgrade. those are not mutually exclusive labels.
