I’m amused how Neuralink was a highly regarded breakthrough celebrated by the likes of Reddit/Lemmy folks, but once Musk was revealed as an idiot, Neuralink is suddenly “lobotomizing”.
Anyone paying attention to Musk would have known for some time that he is a vain narcissist who says a lot of unfiltered and frankly stupid shit and hates criticism.
I think the first prominent example of this was when those kids were trapped in a cave and everyone laughed at his dumb ideas to get them out and he lashed out calling a rescuer a pedo. A smarter billionaire would have just offered to pay for any logistical support they required and in the aftermath maybe given a stipend for the dead rescuers and built the kids a football pitch. But not old Elon.
As for Neuralink I think it’s safe to say it’ll go in the failure pile along with the Boring Company.
Musk burned through 44 billion dollars to acquire Twitter and then he wrecked it. This is not a guy who has a plan. He only cares about that dopamine hit that getting his name in the news gets him. Now he’s got his own social media platform that only exists to blow him.

I mean, after those monkeys died a little skepticism is warranted

I haven’t seen anyone excited about neuralink, ever. Maybe it helps that I don’t read Twitter though.
There’s a reason why redditors are known for being the biggest circlejerkers on the internet.
