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

      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”.

        Meanwhile the cosmetic company: We gave monkeys with stable health signals to Neuralink so we are free of their death, too.

    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
