Oh please daddy Musk put your nueromancaer death tech in my brain, I am bazinga ready.
This is going to be the justification when trying it on people as well.
People with locked in syndrome have occasionally been given early BCIs on this justification, but generally they’re already consenting (IIRC the first real recipient of one had to have it taken back out at the end due to ethics requirements, despite wanting to keep it.)
we should echo this ironically as we cram one into his brain in a distinctly non-surgical manner
Neuralink advanced medical instillation technique
Right. Sure.
Wow, so humane
If a Simpson’s writer gave this line to Mr. Burns, it would be too psychopathic.
Terminal Monkeys… not a bad band name
Hey hey we’re the Monkeys
And people say our brains are machines
But we’re too busy dying
For our results to be seen.
I wonder what Elon really means by terminal. How elastic is the term? The monkeys were old? Or some of the monkeys were old? Or some of the monkeys might have been old? Or all the monkeys were adult monkeys so “terminal” means “not juvenile”.
His team went dumpster diving behind a cosmetics research lab and got all the still-good monkeys out of the trash.
Meanwhile the cosmetic company: We gave monkeys with stable health signals to Neuralink so we are free of their death, too.
This has big “Heather Heyer actually died as a result of a heart attack!!” energy
Science cannot move forward without heaps! (Of dead monkeys)
Lying liar lies to try to cover up previous lies.
Bazingas will still go
because they want le epic cyberpunkerinos head chips and are totally not part of a death cult.EDIT: Not long ago, a very leftist leftist who was as leftist as they came said that people dying to these chips is inevitable and desirable because ultimately everyone would benefit and would have to get the promised improved brain chips that would come after such deaths, all distributed by billionaire vampires and doing what they wished, as a “liberating” step toward achieving… leftism… somehow.
Well obviously when you’re installing your half assed attempt at a synth component designed by somebody who saw a couple episodes of Altered Carbon into a living creature you use the old monkeys first. You don’t murder the fresh monkeys until you’ve killed all the old ones smh
I hope Elon takes his rocket to the Planet of the Apes and gets ridiculed by Dr. Zaius while locked in a cage.
So what he is saying it is good to torture nearly dead beings? Would he want to be experimented on when he is about to die instead of getting palliative care? I doubt it.
Yeahhhhhh I’ve taken enough animal ethics courses to know this shit isn’t supposed to fly
They just had a bunch of terminally ill research monkeys hanging about. That’s definitely a thing that happens. It’s definitely not like live primate studies are so hard to both arrange and get past an ethics board that most people just give up and go straight to human trials,
