Neuralink’s human trials volunteers ‘should have serious concerns,’ say medical experts

Where did you get the idea Tesla pays above market rates for any role? They're notorious for hiring fresh college grads and just burning them out. And that's on the software side, the people building the actual cars have it even worse.

Absolutely not. I wouldn't work for the Heritage Foundation for any price either. Maybe money can control you, but it doesn't control me. I'd rather be poor than hate myself.

AH HA HA HA HA

20K above average? Not a chance in hell. For all the reports of how shitty the work environment is at ALL of his companies, coupled with the constant need to push far past whats ethical, or in some cases even legal... no.

Fuck no.

Not a chance in hell.

Now, throw me 500% of the average and maybe we'll talk. But You'd only get a year from me. Two tops. Just enough to pay off my bills. Then I'm gonna tell you to fuck off.

Software engineer here. I’ve literally had to make that choice. The answer was no. He treats his workers like shit, underpays a ton compared to the industry standard, and constantly engages in union busting

Even without the moral issues I wouldn’t work for him.

No.

Lol 20k. tell me you’re a musk cuck without… you know the rest.

Even if you did take the money, you just described a scenario in which you do have serious concerns. Ones you've ignored.

Oh, sweet soul. You just revealed to the world that you yourself lack any kind of morals, maybe you should work for Musk.

No.

It's not about morals, it's about work life balance and not having the risk of being illegally fired for no reason.

Tesla under pays compared to other car companies.

Lmao, I'm a public servant and a developer. I make that choice every year.

Absolutely not.

Sometimes you gotta weigh job security and a tolerable work environment into the mix. Working for Musk doesn't seem low-stress.

No. I routinely turn down offers of 80% increase to go work for companies like Palantir, Raytheon, etc... Fuck that noise.

I mean we're talking about Tesla opening a marketing department and me running it from scratch, you'd have to at least triple the industry average as I would likely be working 16 hour days.

Have you never heard of work/life balance?

Yeah, in academia getting approval for primate research projects is a huge process where you need to clarify every aspect of the protocol, housing, care, and experimental operations to submit before the project can start. I'm less sure if it's voluntary or required, but we had funding allocated for their retirement from the start. They're smart enough and strong enough that I'd be terrified to work with unhappy and unwell primates.

Not that all research projects are have happy endings, but I don't think corporate research has the same restrictions and oversight that academic research does, given that this even happened. I'm pretty accepting of the necessity of primate research models, but we should be doing everything we can to treat them as best we can. Withdrawing a subject from the experimental protocol should be preferred over letting an infection fester just because the implant is in the way. Just seems really poorly done on their part.

If it makes you feel any better, they'd treat humans the same way if they could.

Finally! A way to fake senility without needing to wait so long

Musk has since come out and all but stated Hyperloop was specifically funded and hyped ONLY to kill mass transit initiatives in the area. It was a total vaporware project, they never intended to solve anything.

To be fair, SpaceX cost of 50-60 million per launch is almost a 10x drop in price, ULA is around 400-500 million per rocket. And since they have next to no competition on price, they have no incentive to lower it. It’s just business.

And don’t bring the broken vehicle the shuttle turned out to be into this. A great vehicle on paper, but with to many cooks. The shuttle era gave us the ISS, but is cost us almost all activity outside of LEO.

Reading this story I decided to boycott everything related to Elon Musk.

Additional veterinary reports show the condition of a female monkey called “Animal 15” during the months leading up to her death in March 2019. Days after her implant surgery, she began to press her head against the floor for no apparent reason; a symptom of pain or infection, the records say. Staff observed that though she was uncomfortable, picking and pulling at her implant until it bled, she would often lie at the foot of her cage and spend time holding hands with her roommate.

Animal 15 began to lose coordination, and staff observed that she would shake uncontrollably when she saw lab workers. Her condition deteriorated for months until the staff finally euthanized her. A necropsy report indicates that she had bleeding in her brain and that the Neuralink implants left parts of her cerebral cortex “focally tattered.”

Did you see the article about what they did to those monkeys?

Any human that allows this half-baked shit near them in it's current state should be terrified.

FDA approval ain't evidence that something is safe. See the recent approvals for anti-Alzheimers meds that have a terrible side-effect to benefit ratio.

So you're worried the implant will affect your memory. Got it.

I hope you sign up

Should I go with NeuroFirefox or NeuroPihole?

I get it, he won't be getting an ad-sponsored or cheaply made version. The concern is safety, and it will be for a while.

Maybe Elon has a malfunctioning chip in his brain already, which would explain a lot. Anyone seen him getting seizures?
