    Before anyone gets too excited: some of their electrodes are no longer able to record a signal from the patient’s brain. They’re reprogramming their software to work with fewer electrodes. No one is being turned into a borg drone.

          Do you mean with the Voyager FDS? There’s a big difference between patching a system 30+ years past it’s planned mission date because at everyone’s amazement it just keeps going and being valuable versus the Neuralink developing issues a few months after being installed when many expected it to fail because of the news of high failure rate among the primate test subjects beforehand.

      That is still a pretty serious issue. It’s not something you should downplay
