When Elon Musk tortures monkeys to death with brain chips it's innovation, but when China does it it's "controversial" and "concerning"

NGL I think it should all brain chips should fall under "concerning" and "controversial"
The artificial eyes that existed in the past come to mind.
For those unfamiliar, when the companies that made them went under support for the devices vanished and the people who got them were left with broken and defunct hardware still stuck in their heads
Bionics require right to repair and open sourced software.
If only the people doing these stuff cared...
Which is why I beleive companies making medical hardware should be forced to open source the firmware and software as well as document how the hardware works and have it be open to the public in a read only mode while qualified people can make updates to the software and firmware
That requires a functional Congress, which is really only achieved by getting rid of the GOP disease in all three branches.
Yes, a One Party Dictatorship would solve everything
Well, another party that is willing to actually govern is welcome to stand up for itself and replace the GOP.
Until that happens, we have the GOP, a party that is ran by gaslighting, obstructionism, and projection, who's real purpose has been laid bare for decades: To take our government, and "reduce it to the size where [they] can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub". And the Democrats, a party that has its own flaws, but actually wants to enact laws and run the country.
One of these parties wants to actively destroy our government, and one of them doesn't.
When Musk does anything it’s controversial and concerning.

Oh shut up most people shit all over musk
Most people in our social circles. Trust me, I spoke with random people about Musk and his brain chips and they thought he was a genius. Elon's tech is years behind the research he stole the ideas from.
What do I care for your suffering? Pain, even agony, is no more than information before the senses, data fed to the computer of the mind. The lesson is simple: you have received the information, now act on it. Take control of the input and you shall become master of the output
The Warrior's bland acronym, MMI, obscures the true horror of this monstrosity. Its inventors promise a new era of genius, but meanwhile unscrupulous power brokers use its forcible installation to violate the sanctity of unwilling human minds. They are creating their own private army of demons.
imagine saying that US civilian science is not linked to military research with a straight face 🤡
But Margaret Kosal, associate professor of international affairs at Georgia Institute of Technology, says there’s a key difference between how the US and China approach BCI research. “The US has not explicitly linked our civilian science with our military research,” she says. “China’s strategy fundamentally links the military and the commercial, and that is why there is concern.”
