I'm not surprised given the person in charge, but I still feel bad for the guy. Being almost completely paralyzed, it makes total sense to jump at the chance to get some normalcy back.

I didn't expect 85% of the wires to already detach at this point. In a just society, the whole company would be shut down and the CEO put into a bottomless pit.

Damn. According to the article the Neuralink team pretty much certainly already knew this was very likely to happen. They're also telling the subject that they want to avoid the risk of another surgery to correct it.

So why the fuck did they go ahead with it before addressing the known problems??? big-honk
