"Elon Musk’s brain-chip start-up Neuralink suffered an unexpected problem in its first-ever human implant as the device began to detach from the patient’s skull — reducing the amount of data it could capture, the company has revealed."
It's apparently not a huge issue (yet), but you'ld think "we're putting this inside someone's skull, let's make sure it's properly secured" would be pretty high up there on the list of priorities.
Lede says 'chip detaching from skull,' article says that the wires are detaching from his brain. Unclear if both are true, or if the [NY Post] author mispoke, but I was not shocked to learn that both were issues in the animal trials.
I'm sure both are, indeed, very difficult problems to solve, but I have to question whether their subsequent FDA applications were entirely on the level, given that their CEO was out there telling people he'd put them in his own kids.
Yeah, but not someone who he actually cares about.
Only one person on that list, BTW.
To be fair, he can't just simply make more of himself.
Yet.
I'm reminded of that scene near the end of the Arnie movie Sixth Day.
Where the bad guy's clone treats the dying bad guy with contempt, while the dying guy is just shocked at tge reaction.
Can absolutely see that happening if Musk has someone develop cloning tech for him.
And then steals the credit for it's creation. Obviously.

I don't know how I feel about this.
But I definitely don't like her saying "the medium doesn't matter"
