      This is extremely old news. The dude is alive, and has regained much of the functionality he lost in the chip with a firmware update.

      Put your rage boner away.

          … First off, the guy was a paraplegic before the implant. This isn’t a sudden or new thing to happen.

          Secondly, you’re literally asking for a final version of something without any sort of human testing involved. Can you name a single medical device, ever, which has had exactly 1 version, no updates, and went through 0 human trials before completion?

          This guy was never going to be out and about on his daily walk through the middle of the street using his v0.001 neuralink implant. And if you honestly thought that was ever on the table, you have absolutely no idea what is going on.

          Again, put the hate boner away.

            That’s what the animal trials were supposed to be for. You know what happened to them? They died. They didn’t even wait for the chip to be successful in apes before putting it in a human. If you don’t understand why that’s fucked up, I can’t help you.

          Put.

          Your hate boner.

          Away.

          Your ignorance of the subject is insane. You don’t even have the first clue as to who is involved in the tests or what it’s meant to accomplish.
