The one I live in: Finland

The only thing I don’t like is the short summer and long winter but I try and convince myself that it’s the 4 distinctive seasons and the shitty winter that makes me truly appreciate summer. It’s also good for the human character which probably partly explains why we’ve been voted the happiest country in the world who knows how many years in a row. It may be less true now but it’s still in our genes; in the past you better be nice to your neighbour because once the winter comes and food runs out, your life may depend on them.

I bought a pick-up truck because I’ve wanted one ever since I was a kid and one day I just realized I’m an adult with money and I can buy whatever I want.

Well I started my own business a few years later so it turned out to be quite useful purchase in the end anyway

How many more apes do you think should be sacrificed before it’s properly ready for human trials?

I don’t agree with the premise. Being a shitty person doesn’t mean everything they do is also shitty. Musk singlehandedly popularized electric cars, he’s the first person to develop re-usable rockets thus cutting the price of transporting stuff to orbit by over a half and he’s also responsible for being the first to create a truly global satellite internet effectively for the whole world. If you can’t give him credit for any of that then you’re simply just not looking at it objectively but rather with emotionally motivated reasoning.

I would notice but what I would be even more concerned about is how they got into my house

My intention is to not make you feel more comfortable. I’m only providing more up-to-date info on what you just said.

I doubt it has any use in reality.

Some possible future use cases would be things like:

• Restoring Mobility: Bypassing spinal cord damage to regain limb control.

• Treating Neurological Disorders: Modulating brain activity for conditions like Parkinson’s or epilepsy.

• Restoring Vision and Hearing: Bypassing damaged pathways to directly stimulate the brain.

• Enhancing Communication: Translating thoughts into speech for those with severe impairments.

• Prosthetic Control: Enabling natural movement with brain-controlled prosthetics.

• Treating Mental Health: Targeting brain circuits to manage depression or PTSD.

• Memory Restoration: Helping those with memory loss, like in Alzheimer’s.

Didn’t it already fuck up in the first human guinea pig?

Nope. He’s doing better than ever. Some of the threads god pulled out because it turns out that brain moves inside the skull more than they anticipated but they’ve made up for that with optimization and system updates. The performance of the first unit is better today than it has ever been. This is coming directly from Noland himself who has been quest on several podcasts.

You think neuralink has not been properly tested and vetted? It’s perfectly fine not to want to have anything to do with stuff related to Musk but atleast be honest about the true reasons then. The uninformed opinions I’m reading here are solely based on emotions.

The first chip works better now than the day it was impanted. It’s not exactly that it’s “failing”, some of the thread 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.

Reading this message chain makes me want to buy ones.

Yeah. If it fails it’s the wood around the glued joint, not the joint iself.

Same with my early-2015 model MacBook Pro. My only Apple product. It just works, what can I say. I’m basically waiting for a reason to switch to the Framework laptop but we’ll see. I might eventually just get another MacBook. I gifted my SO a MacBook air around the same time I bought mine and she has had zero issues with that as well.

The pyramid of Khafre in Giza. It’s the one with still some of the cladding remaining on top. The second largest one of the three.

By using Lemmy we’re already filtering out certain people and opinions. I personally think that the more control we have over what we see, the better. I don’t think it’s opposing views people want to filter out. It’s the ones having those views and being dicks about it.

Unavoidably so but then again, going sideways because of a downvote is just more data on who you might want to block.

Echo chamber within echo chamber I guess.

It’s not the people whose opinions I disagree with who I usually block. It’s people making snide comments like this while fishing for upvotes. I’ll reserve my attention to the ones who have something to say rather than ones just wanting to make noise.
