Elon Musk says no primates died as a result of Neuralink’s implants. A WIRED investigation now reveals the grisly specifics of their deaths as US authorities have been asked to investigate Musk’s claims.

    Real “Insects can’t feel pain” energy. Le reddit “I’m going to get downvoted for this” doesn’t make your take any less horrible.

      Bro you’re kidding me right? He’s saying straight out that this is horrible and Elon is a sociopath, he’s not defending this but rather calling it out for being fucking awful. Him saying that our brains and their brains don’t work the exact same isn’t him defending it but rather calling out false information. Different parts have different sizes and limits specific functions that they haven’t evolved to have, just how a few days ago we had a post here about how baboons were flinging around the dead fetus from a stillbirth and they couldn’t go in and take care of it because the risks involved. Their brains just aren’t as developed as ours, but that doesn’t mean this is acceptable behavior. It’s fucking deplorable and needs to be outright forbidden.

      This is shit straight out of a horror film! But don’t use lies to make it seem worse, that just makes you look shallow, that you can’t relate to an animal if it’s wired slightly different than you.

          No, absolutely not. You’re as wrong as you could be. He never responded after his first comment, check the authors. You had your argument with an entirely different 3rd person.

      Actually no, you misunderstood what I said.

      Animals can suffer similarly like us, I’m simply saying they are not EXACTLY the same like us like OP was saying. OP claims that all mammals function exactly the same which biologically simply isn’t true. Even within humans we see so much diversity in how brains work, do you really want to say that a rats brain works exactly the same as yours?

      Again, doesn’t mean they can’t or should suffer. Elon is a monster and should be in jail

      It’s not horrible, it’s factual. Try changing your diet to include lots of sugar, alcohol and caffeine, and also avoid physical exercise, and you’ll feel that even you are a different creature (feeling much worse at that).

      And that’s same old you. Now macaques are another species.
