Let's also not forget all the dead test animals...

The only chips I want in my head are potato chips in my mouth, screw Neuralink!
Heaps of them?
Other people and companies have built working deep brain stimulators. Like trucks, it seems to be beyond elon musk.
The first chip works better now than the day it was impanted. It's not exactly that it's "failing", some of the threads got pulled out because it turns out human brain moves inside the skull more than they anticipated. However they've managed to make up for that with optimization so the performance today is better than it has ever been.
Your thorny insight is not making me any more comfortable with the idea. But hey, you do you..
My intention is to not make you feel more comfortable. I'm only providing more up-to-date info on what you just said.
