    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.
