The primates in the article suffered issues caused by the physical installation of the chip, not from the functioning of the chip.

And you're calling ME dishonest? 🤦

Another macaque mentioned — known as Animal 15 — “began to press her head against the floor for no apparent reason” days after receiving the implant, and her condition only went downhill from there:

Animal 15 began to lose coordination and staff observed that she would shake uncontrollably when she saw lab workers. Her condition deteriorated for months until the staff finally euthanized her. A necropsy report indicates that she had bleeding in her brain and that the Neuralink implants left parts of her cerebral cortex “focally tattered.”

Does that sound like a fucking installation issue to you?

Also, even if it WAS, they left that bad "installation" for MONTHS and you'd trust those fuckers to put anything in your brain? I guess "death by fanboying too hard" is ONE way to go..
