I like that their implant is simply laid on top of the brain, instead of driving electrodes into brain tissue like Neuralink. I'd like to keep my brain unscarred.

Talk about pulling for one horse. Could have said " Precision Neuroscience,Neuralink's competitor, sets record with x# of brain connectors."

I wouldn't worry too much about neuralink "driving electrodes into brain tissue." 85% of them retract in a reasonable timeframe.

That'd be funnier if the process didn't leave that tissue with irreparable scars.

It's about as safe as my FSD. Some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

You're not wrong. But it doesn't seem like anything is going to stop Elon, so gallows humor is all I've got.

I actually have a bit of hope for this one, since they seem to have figured out a way to avoid one of the known problems with these systems. At very least, it's an angle worth exploring.
