This is going to be the justification when trying it on people as well.

we should echo this ironically as we cram one into his brain in a distinctly non-surgical manner

Neuralink advanced medical instillation technique the-doohickey

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.)

If a Simpson’s writer gave this line to Mr. Burns, it would be too psychopathic.

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.

He meant airport terminal, checkmate tankies

Edit: Just wanted to point out he said terminal “moneys”

This has big "Heather Heyer actually died as a result of a heart attack!!" energy

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

[-] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

Right. Sure.

Terminal Monkeys... not a bad band name

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

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.

Yeahhhhhh I've taken enough animal ethics courses to know this shit isn't supposed to fly

[-] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

We all going to ignore that he misspelled moneys for monkeys?

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

I hope Elon takes his rocket to the Planet of the Apes and gets ridiculed by Dr. Zaius while locked in a cage.

[-] LanyrdSkynrd@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Science cannot move forward without heaps! (Of dead monkeys)

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

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,

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

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.
