Neuralink, owned by controversial billionaire Elon Musk, believes it can prevent thread movement in the next patient by simply implanting the fine wires deeper into brain tissue. The company is planning on—and the FDA has reportedly signed off on—implanting the threads 8 millimeters into the brain of the second trial participant rather than the 3 mm to 5 mm depth used in Arbaugh’s implantation.
Yeah, “just shove it in deeper” sounds like a brilliant plan.
Maybe it’ll work, maybe it won’t, but if I was that second patient I wouldn’t exactly be feeling super confident about their approach.
I think my confidence would be tied to if there were any complications on the monkeys or pigs with going deeper.
My intuition says go as shallow as needed to get the data you need as the deeper you go the more something could go wrong, but as we see here, going shallow also has problems.
I’m assuming they tested different depths on animals, so as long as deeper in the animals didn’t specifically cause problems, I think I’d be fine with it as a solution.
Now, if they didn’t try these depths during the animal trials, well, that’s another matter entirely.
Yeah, “just shove it in deeper” sounds like a brilliant plan.
Does your past experience in brain surgery suggest that this might be a bad idea?
They’re volunteers with next to nothing to lose. This isn’t some healthy person who just wants to play angry birds with their mind. They’re getting an experimental device planted into their brain. I’m sure they’re aware of the risks.
There is non-zero risk in every surgery, and this is a major surgery. There is non-zero risk of very very severe consequences: brain infection, stroke being just some. While these risks are low, they are non-zero. The volunteers have the possibility of losing everything.
And I’m sure they’re aware of that. What are you trying to say here? Abandon development of this technology?
Or focus on the non-invasive form of this technology.
I don’t think it’s capable of doing what the ultimate goal of Neuralink is, which is much more than being able to move a cursor on the screen. Science and technology wont stop advancing just because it’s potenttially risky.
You’d think somewhere amongst the literal thousands of animals they maimed and killed, they’d have figured out how to prevent a simple mechanical issue like “the electrodes won’t stay in place”
Like by sticking them deeper?
If this was something they knew could happen, why didn’t they prepare the patient so he’d know what to expect? Informing the patient of what can go wrong is an important step in even routine surgery, let alone experimentation.
Moreover, it would have blunted this exact criticism if they were simply to say, “yes, this is something we expected from our trials but we specifically chose this depth to start with for these reasons”.
The actual blog post only mentions the thread retraction in passing: https://neuralink.com/blog/prime-study-progress-update-user-experience/
In an interview with the Journal, Neuralink’s first patient, 29-year-old Noland Arbaugh, opened up about the roller-coaster experience. “I was on such a high and then to be brought down that low. It was very, very hard,” Arbaugh said. “I cried.” He initially asked if Neuralink would perform another surgery to fix or replace the implant, but the company declined, telling him it wanted to wait for more information.
Neuralink isn’t just treating humans like guinea pigs, they’re treating them like disposable guinea pigs.
The patient fully embraced the Elon propaganda and spouted his praises on the dozens of media interviews he agreed to.
No sympathy for someone who invited a leopard into their house to catch the mice
If such a person doesn’t deserve sympathy, who does?
Starving children in Gaza, who will never see their families again because they’re dead
So unless someone is bombed and starving they deserve no sympathy? What kinda brain dead take is that?
As brain dead as putting those words in my mouth
You said verbatim, that a quadriplegic guy hoping to regain some control deserves no sympathy and then immediately went to war orphans in Gaza. I’m not putting anything in your mouth you didn’t shit out of it before
That’s not what I said. That’s just what you wanted to hear so your tantrum could be justified.
Perhaps if you spent Less time making up lies and more time learning how to read, you wouldn’t be in this predicament.
Is that where you draw the line on sympathy, or are you one of those people who is physically incapable of talking about anything but Israel/Palestine?
Of course it’s not where I draw the line. Don’t be obtuse.
When asked who deserves sympathy, I gave an answer— and a far more deserving one than this dope.
Even the worst people in history were at some point just a child that we could have potentially saved. Even as an adult, or after doing evil, I think sympathy and compassion never stops being the right answer. It’s just in practice we have to prioritise: the needy, the many.
Yeah, ok 👍🏻
Yeah, everyone who signs up for experimental medical trials is a stooge.
You cherry-picked the first part of that paragraph. The end goes like this:
Arbaugh went on to say that he has since recovered from the initial disappointment and continues to have hope for the technology.
And then the next part of his statement is found in the following paragraph:
“I thought that I had just gotten to, you know, scratch the surface of this amazing technology, and then it was all going to be taken away,” he added. "But it only took me a few days to really recover from that and realize that everything I’ve done up to that point was going to benefit everyone who came after me.” He also said that “it seems like we’ve learned a lot and it seems like things are going in the right direction.”
Of course, the goal here is not to have an honest assessment of what happened. . .but to simply choose what we want to further our hatred (justified, IMO) of Musk.
None of that concerns Neuralink’s treatment of him—just his eventual acceptance of it.
And nothing about what you quoted indicates what he was or was not told about the potential outcomes of the procedure, or how he was treated. Only that he was disappointed with the outcome. Of course he was, of course he wanted it to work out, so of course he was disappointed.
I stand by my point that only the negative part of his statement was cherry-picked out in order to justify shitting on Musk, rather than honestly assessing what happened.
I’m sure he was as he isn’t living under a rock. He agreed to this.
My criticism of Neuralink’s response has nothing to do with whether or not the first patient was treated unfairly. It’s just this: they had a choice going forward of trying to fix the first patient’s implant or letting it be and starting over with a fresh patient, and they chose the latter.
Okay, no. As much of an issue as I have with musk and the way he bullrushes into these things, this really was the right response at this point.
It’s a new tech. That goes into someone’s brain. You do not just go rutting around up there if the first attempt failed, and further tests (which have a significant element of risk) shouldn’t be in the brain that’s already been through this, not until it’s much better tuned.
Brain surgery isn’t a minor procedure.
If they’re able to fix it for him, there’s a fair chance they will, I’d imagine.
But continuing to dig around after that failure is what treating him like a disposable Guinea pig would look like because that’s how they’d very likely kill him or substantially diminish his quality of life with brain damage.
There are lots of real reasons to hate musk. This isn’t one of them.
My guess is you know nothing about this. They may think reinserting them is too risky for the patient because they don’t know. You’re almost certainly just making up facts to justify your conclusions, rather than assessing the facts and coming to a conclusion based on them.
No? That’s insane. “We don’t k ow exactly what’s going on, but we are going to go poke around inside- oh shit he’s dead, if only we had waited until things stabilized and we had the information we needed.”
Come on, don’t be ridiculous. “Try to fix it” could easily result in a dead patient, and I’m sure you’d be all for praising their attempt to fix it, right?
They didn’t exactly say no, they just said they want more data. It might not be that crazy not to rush things with a patient that needs re-implantation when you’re trying to test the next revision of the implant and have willing patient who only requires an initial implantation.
As long as these patients are properly informed on the risks and limitations of this experimental tech, I don’t see a problem. There’s no evidence that they are treating their patients badly, or failing to fulfill any promises in regards to the efficacy of the implants, or commitment to support these early test implants insofar as they agreed to provide to their patients (to my understanding, they are informed that the implant could be a total failure with no opportunities to re-implant.).
Thank you for showing how much bias is on this website and standing up for it.
People really need to chill out with their preconceived notions.
This website is going to be a shower of shit if it just people circle jerking.
If there is a reason not to like Musk this isn’t it. Honestly I could care less about some random guy.
You could actually read the article. The guy is glad to have helped make some one else’s life better. He doesn’t have brain damage and he is not dead nor is he worse off.
Oh boy he’s a currently happy disposable guinea pig, that makes it all better!
God forbid an adult of sound mind is allowed to decide what to do with his own body.
Haters got to hate
Or they want to actually have something that has a chance of working before doing it again…I doubt installing one of these things is a walk in the park and every install carries a high risk … I sure hope patient #2 is getting something with a possible fix…
Bro, just a few more disabled people sacrificed to the machine and I swear we’ll get it right! Move fast, break things! Technology always good!
Everyone like a week and a half ago pitching a fit over me saying that this is an unethical way to treat disabled people can go fuck themselves, lol.
The dude is fine and actually pretty lucky. Its sad that it stopped working but its not like he died or something.
You have no idea what the long term effects of the rejection are going to be, and neither does the corporation doing this to human beings after killing a bunch of monkeys and still failing.
You do not know if he is going to be ok either. Right now its been positive doesn’t look all that bad. This is a guy who was able to do things he normally would be unable to do.
I think Lemmy just seems to hate Elon Musk and they can’t stand that something positive may of come from this. You can’t know what the future holds but if there first subject died it would look very bad for the company and would likely get some serious attention from the government regulators.
He still can for the time being. They worked around the problem.
What’s the alternative? We either don’t create this technology at all or we do and accept the fact that it’s going to involve a lot of trial and error. You don’t just skip all that and jump to the final product. There’s only so much you can test on animals which exactly isn’t the most ethical thing to begin with anyway. At some point you’re going to need to stick it in a human brain.
The first heart transplant recepient died after 18 days. Should we have not done that either?
That’s just untrue. There are a lot of options between “give up” and “proceed irresponsibly”. After all the animals they’ve scrapped why are the human subjects having the EXACT SAME PROBLEMS that were identified in the animals. This is Musk’s typical “fail fast” strategy to advance research faster, but in the medical field the failures damage real humans.
Completely irresponsible!
The FDA regulatory failure with neuralink is as bad as the FAA’s failure with Boeing.
First one failed, let’s try another one.
Hey it’s worked out for SpaceX.
Trial and error
First we had piles of monkeys, now piles of paralyzied people.
I really hope a good lawyer can find some kind of flaw in that liability waver
He was already paralyzed, there’s nothing to sue over…
Relax, the guy is fine.
Man I deleted my account because I didn’t want Musk involved in my newsfeed. I can’t imagine giving that fool direct access to my brain.
I wonder what it was like for all of the fools that ever bought an Oculus headset and might’ve been force fed anything Mark projected on that thing.
Well tbh Quests dont really bug you much about anything FB related. After you setup the account the only thing you deal with is the initial menu starts opened to the app store with suggestions based on what you already bought.
But that initial menu let’s you also set quick access buttons for your favorite apps.
So it’s only a single click to go from “put on headsst” to “open thing I want” usually.
It’s not any different from steam starting you out in the store tbh, I can accept that level of advertising as it’s pretty transparent and half the time it has something of interest for me anyways.
It’s about as big of a deal as a gift shop at a museum.
In other words
Neuralink to implant 2nd human with brain chip as 85% of first one failed.
“All Hail Elon”
There really is a Spongebob gif for everything, isn’t there…
lmao
I almost want to work there just to know exactly how it all went down. Plus who knows maybe I could help.
Stop letting this shit head do what ever he wants!
What shithead? I’ll assume Nuralink, or more specifically, Musk?
Instead of hating, why not try to see it from Nolans perspective? (Nolan was the 1st to get the implant.
He literally said he “was a waste” before his implant, and also stated he “has purpose again”.
It’s incredibly easy to be against this, when you have never had to experience being unable to use your body. Imagine being unable to move for 8 years. I’ll say that again; Eight years. A company offers an experimental implant so you can use a computer again. Who in their right mind would not accept that offer?
But because you do not like Musk, these people should just be happy with their current circumstance, just so you can be happy Musk cant move forward with these technology?
You hate Musk so much you would rather these people getting the implants simply don’t, and continue living as they are.
Yes, Musk is awful. Staff at nuralink are not, Nolan is not. You and Musk are.
People can find purpose by joining a cult lmao what’s your point
Holy fuck you are daft. Yeah sure anyone can find purpose with relative ease when they have full functionality of their body.
My boy Nolan is a quadriplegic. He has been for 8 years
Due to the spasms he was unable to use conventional tools quadriplegic people use.
Regardless of who owns the company, he, he himself, Nolan the individual (not you, not me, not anyone else) Nolan volunteered his person for an experimental implant to regain some form of control over his person. The operation was successful, Nolan was happy, he regained a part of himself after 8 years.
My point is you are taking your hatred for Musk in a way that is only hurting others. What you are doing right now means nothing to Musk. You are only spreading hate, and brining everyone else down with you, expect for the person your hating on.
There are existing technologies that allow quadriplegics to use computers… that don’t involve brain chips. It’s sad that the only way he had access to such technology was by being a human test subject.
Did you miss my comment where I said the conventional ones didn’t work?
Also who are to make that call, like seriously, why should Nolan have just continued without the impant? Who cares if you don’t want it. Nolan did, he got it. End of that discussion.
Now, if these other devices were that capable, people would not be signing up for an experimental implant for the same function.
Trying to compare neuralink to anything on the market that does remotely the same thing would be like comparing a comador 64 to a modern high end gaming PC. Sure you can compare the 2 but, the modern one has more features, more power, faster, does more, ect, ect.
Tldr; not your body, not your choice.
Edit: I forgot, it’s sad he had to be a test subject??? How the fuck do you do that without having to test it??? Please explain the logic.
Looks like we got an Elon Cuck
Looks like we got someone who enjoys others suffering.
What an awful takeaway.
In a real conversation would you have said that? Imagine hating someone so much that when their money vastly improves a victims QOL in a way you don’t like, that you would rather have people like Nolan remain as they were.
I’d rather be an Elon cuck and enjoy others happiness with them, then be like you and Musk.
your an idiot. "His"tech has not helped anyone. why? cause he can’t deliver on his product, hence why he should not be allowed to experiment on people that have it hard already.
How am I an idiot when your stating neuralink did not deliver a product?
They did. And it was successful.
Also who are you to say what people can and cannot do? What gives you that right? It’s not your brain so your opinions are irrelevant, and change nothing.
No it was not successful. They literally announced last week it failed. You need to read more.
In an interview with the Journal, Neuralink’s first patient, 29-year-old Noland Arbaugh, opened up about the roller-coaster experience. “I was on such a high and then to be brought down that low. It was very, very hard,” Arbaugh said. “I cried.” He initially asked if Neuralink would perform another surgery to fix or replace the implant, but the company declined, telling him it wanted to wait for more information.
Oh yeah, words of happiness right here! So much QOL, I’m glad you enjoy this.
Do you understand what an experimental operation is?
Nolan took the risk, and it paid off at first, being the first subject there is alot of unknowns. Turns out scar issue in the brain is an issue.
So back to your quote. They did decline to replace/fix thr impant currently. If you read the rest of your quote it states they are waiting for more information.
Yes it’s sad Nolan is loosing functionality of his device, but his risk and now loss will only help the next on the list to have a functional device for longer.
I do enjoy this, Nolans efforts and sacrifice will make the world a better place for others like Nolan. What is wrong with that? Why should nolans experience be something we should not celebrate? He does, why cant we join him? Maybe one day you will be in the same situation as Nolan, but because of Nolans direct contribution you won’t have to suffer the same fate. Why are you so selfish?
Nolan has not stated he regreted this. So should Nolan just not have suffered a spinal cord injury? He could have avoided this if he remained able body. I wonder what was worse. The impant failing, or being paralyzed for life.
That’s just not how medical research works. Modern medicine isn’t built on trying unproven technology on desperate people and using their bodies as a fast track stairway to success. Medical experiments have to ensure human dignity and that doesn’t include “he was desperate enough to say yes” as a rationale.
How much does Elon pay you to be his cuck?
You think about Elon, cucks, and cock alot.
If you won’t talk about the topic, I’d ask you stop sexualizing Musk and myself, that’s weird.
not an elon cuck, @FonsNihilo@lemmy.ca is just pointing out that the TEST SUBJECT HIMSELF has had only good things to say about this implant. i hate ketamine boy as much as you do, but it isnt like musky balls is building these himself, there are real professional engineers doing this, so it working should not be attributed to musk. he came up with the name and the vague idea, thats it.
EDIT: nvm.
In an interview with the Journal, Neuralink’s first patient, 29-year-old Noland Arbaugh, opened up about the roller-coaster experience. “I was on such a high and then to be brought down that low. It was very, very hard,” Arbaugh said. “I cried.” He initially asked if Neuralink would perform another surgery to fix or replace the implant, but the company declined, telling him it wanted to wait for more information.
fuck the neuralink people. all their test subjects are disposable to them, i guess.
Huh, the unethical company that installed known-bad tech into a human is acting unethically. Interesting.
His family should sue them for fraud and whatever crime is to knowingly injure someone with subpar products.
Considering this is pretty much ground-breaking work involving brain surgery, I think it’s prudent for Neuralink to wait to see what happens instead of immediately performing another surgery. If I were in charge I’d definitely take things slowly and surely instead of trying to move fast and possibly break things.
*break people
Out of curiosity, what do you think about the fact that they knew from animal testing that the retraction issue existed, but they installed it into a human anyway?
He literally said he “was a waste”
And now he’s not a “waste” anymore, right?
He’s now a piece of meat to be used and abused for the egotistical whims of one of the world’s most notorious capitalist parasites.
He was abused? That is a very bold claim.
Can I get a valid source on this?
I have seen every interview Nolan had over the implant and he only had glowing things to say, and stated multiple times he wanted Nuralink to work faster.
No, he is no longer a waste, even as his implant fails, humans, as a hole have learnt so much from Nolan. Hopefully patient 2 will have longer functionality with their device. He was the first human to get a complex microchip that can send and receive signals. Compared to any other brain interface, what Nuralink did was unlike anything that has been done before.
While I do not want to defend Musk, I will defend Nuralink and Nolan.
Nolan has had no negative experience from this, yet people like you for some reason just can’t let people live their lives and enjoy it. Nolan has been happy to be alive for the first time in 8 years, yet because someone who not even Nolan met first hand, is the CEO. Like seriously, fuck off.
Can I get a valid source on this?
Have you seen how Musk treats his employees? And the test subjects Tesla calls “customers”?
No… I’m going to need proof that he wasn’t abused - extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, after all.
I will defend Nuralink and Nolan.
…which you won’t be doing without defending Musk.
Nolan has had no negative experience from this yet.
FTFY.
- Is Nolan an employee?
- So you can claim he was abused, and will belive he was, without any source? How can you have an extraordinary claim and refuse to provide evidence, then you claim it’s up to the other party to show evidence they did not do what you claimed they were doing? What logic is that? I thought it was innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent?
Based on your argument I’ll assume your a MAGA kinda person.
And of course, then your arguments turns into "well he doesn’t regret it…yet.
You want to have an actual discussion or remain in your land of what’s it’s and excuses?
Is Nolan an employee?
That actually matters to you?
How can you have an extraordinary claim and refuse to provide evidence,
If you have proof that he wasn’t I’m all ears.
Based on your argument I’ll assume your a MAGA kinda person.
If I was sympathetic to fascists or the capitalist parasites fascists serve I’d be defending Musk - you know… like you’re doing?
Well you brought up abuse allegations against Nolan, so yes, it does infact does matter if Nolan is an employee or not.
Again, innocent until proven guilty. You do not accuse without evidence and demand the other party defends their innocents.
And yes, in this case though not directly I am defending Musk. I’m defending Nolan, and the scientists at Nerualink who made this happen.
So iv accused you of being a Maga person. You are a Maga person. I do not have any evidence, but until you show me evidence that shows you are not a MAGA person, you are.
Edit: spelling.
Yes, good point. These people are desperate, so we should let a wildly irresponsible company, who during animal testing had identified the thread retraction issue and not fixed it, we should let them experiment on desperate humans because fuck them I guess.
Yeah the guy was able to do something cool for a while, but now he’s quickly getting back to where he was and with bonus bits of metal all over his brain and no way to fix the problem.
I don’t know if that’s a trade he or anyone would have made going in.
They need to stop messing around with this Musk “fail fast” approach, that’s not acceptable in medicine. You can’t speed up your research by endangering the most desperate people in society.
I’m not defending Musk, only pointing out your contradictions:
Hey, do you use shampoo,conditioner, sunscreen,toothpaste or any acne creams? Guess what? They were all tested on animals before humans. Animal testing is a essential part of developing new stuff. Now Nuralink definitely could have done better and be less cruel, I will not defend those actions. But the sacrifice of those animals will not be in vein.
Also, Nuralink isn’t the only company that tests on animals. As of this year in North America alone, there are attest 268 companies that use animals.
They tested on animals, identifying the retraction issue… Then did nothing and installed it into a human anyway.
In your example it’d be shampoo that chemically burns pig scalps that is pushed to market for humans anyway.
Stop being an apologist and think about what it means to have billionaires treating desperate people as guinea pigs for invasive technology testing.
How am I being an apologists?
Im really struggling to find thr right way to say this good enough, but ill try:
There is alot more to think then just billionaire’s and their victims. First, Nolan has been a quadriplegic for 8 years. Keep that in mind. It is important.
So 8 years, unable to move, you see a company that believes they can install a device in your brain that will let you use a mouse on a computer with your thoughts.
For being unable to move, and for 8 years. Would you say no to that? That’s the closest thing you have to your own movment again.
I know another billionaire who is destroying the planet, but I don’t hear people talk trash about his companies, even though they just as bad reports, yet we all love our Amazon prime right?
Look, at this point it’s just an agree to disagree thing. You think it’s ok for companies to do irreversible operations as long as subjects are desperate enough to consent. Others think that’s abusive. There’s obviously no changing your mind. That’s ok, just move on.
And no. If you’ve spent any amount of time here then you know that a ton of people here are also against bezos and pretty much every other billionaires out there.
No one has an issue with the notion of creating a technology that allows paralyzed people to control a computer with their mind.
Where people have an issue is that Musk was told multiple times by multiple people that an implant likely will never be 100% feasible because the brain moves around in the skull, making keeping a connection tricky at best and likely impossible. (hence why the threads have retracted)
He’s been told on multiple occasions that a non-invasive tech that is both more reliable and less risky is actually FAR more feasible. But his ego and his hard-on for being “edgy” basically makes him want to do things as “sci fi” as possible because a node that sticks to the side of your head isn’t as cool as an implant (to him).
Nolan would be just as happy. Just as capable. and just as helpful to the research with something less intrusive, but then Musk wouldn’t think of himself as cool.
tl;dr - No one has a problem with the concept. But the invasive way it’s being implemented is 100% because of Musk’s ego driven self-delusion of himself.
When someone claims they want to improve your quality of life, you need to consider the source, especially when it’s Elon Musk. And especially when he wants to screw with your BRAIN.
Your faith in the benevolence of billionaires is adorable but history has shown us that for the most part, billionaires are vain, greedy, brutal sociopaths. Especially Musk, who is an apartheid-loving fascist.
When did I say I have faith in Musk? A company is different from an individual.
Why are you telling me where my faith lies? Your narrow minded view on subjects far greater then a single individual is adorable.
Oof, the fan boy-ing is strong in this thread.
Let’s wait until Elon puts a link into his own brain, then we can decide if that thing is good or bad. And you can be sure that he would get any and all follow up procedures he needs …
Is every non-blindly hateful person a fanboy? Any chance that some of us just look at things as they are instead of getting emotionally invested with it?
Plot twist: he already has one but stays quiet about it, because the result is apparently bad
What a world we live in, huh?
We’ve got corporations who’ve successfully contaminated the world with their waste in a systematic fashion.
We’ve got corporations who’ve blindsided the political system.
We’ve got corporations who’ve blindsided affordable living.
We’ve got corporations who’ve given us a filtered and artificial companion in AI.
And now we’ve got a company that is actively seeking ways possible to ruin your way of being and living through chip implanting.
Enjoy the world, people.
What a myopic view of the world.
I’m not sure wtf they expected to happen when they aren’t addressing the core problem with neural interfaces. Fix scar tissue buildup around the electrodes or GTFO
Imagine when they put ads directly into your brain.
Or Musk decides that you don’t need some part of your brain. Or worse, rents it out as server space.
Don’t worry, the dolphins will save us if it gets that far.
The funny thing about this ad is that it’s already lodged deep in my brain and anytime someone says they have a headache I think about it

This is the bigger concern. For that matter imagine if a government mandated mine control.
I’m loving the typo.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Only 15 percent of the electrode-bearing threads implanted in the brain of Neuralink’s first human brain-chip patient continue to work properly, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.
The adjustments were effective enough to regain and then exceed performance on at least one metric—the bits-per-second (BPS) rate used to measure how quickly and accurately a patient with an implant can control a computer cursor.
He initially asked if Neuralink would perform another surgery to fix or replace the implant, but the company declined, telling him it wanted to wait for more information.
The Journal’s report adds more detail about the thread retraction as Neuralink gears up to surgically implant its chip into a second trial participant.
According to the report, the company hopes to perform the second surgery sometime in June and has gained a green light to do so from the Food and Drug Administration, which oversees clinical trials.
Neuralink, owned by controversial billionaire Elon Musk, believes it can prevent thread movement in the next patient by simply implanting the fine wires deeper into brain tissue.
