Countdown Florida trying to pass a law absolving Neuralink of responsibility for sudden death. 
Brain interfaces like #Neuralink = fascinating.
What scares me is that Musk does hype.
Fads.
At the expense of safety, accountability, long-termism, and responsibility.
But the brain is an unforgiving bit of tissue where messups are irreversible.

Brain implants make you beholden to their manufacturer & maintainer.
Evidence shows: when people depend on Musk...he doesn't always treat them well.
Entertain for a moment the scenario of a desperate person worried they will displease him by speaking out & be disconnected.

Musk's behavior around Twitter has been so far out of the norm that it makes you wonder.
Just how seriously have regulators & the relevant ethics IRBs considered the implicit power dynamic he carries with him.. and the impact on vulnerable populations in human clinical trials.

The closer Musk got to the operations of Twitter, the more chaos & crisis he brought.
If Neuralink scales up clinical trials & sees success, hard to imagine Musk will be able to resist getting *much more involved.
Caveat implantee.

It's not like there's precedent for a hyped implant going dark & people being blind or anything.

Should you trust a company to do human research? Look at their track record.
Too much pressure to accelerate = garbage data & comfort with ethical problems.
Which #Neuralink is currently being federally investigated for.

Seeing. Hearing. Walking.
The dynamics of power & dependency around tech implants are no joke.
As are the costs of obsolescence or running out of cash to pay for upgrades.
And they happen to the very vulnerable populations.
