85% of Neuralink implant wires are already detached, says patient

In an interview, Noland Arbaugh says the company wanted to avoid further surgery.

I'm not surprised given the person in charge, but I still feel bad for the guy. Being almost completely paralyzed, it makes total sense to jump at the chance to get some normalcy back.

I didn't expect 85% of the wires to already detach at this point. In a just society, the whole company would be shut down and the CEO put into a bottomless pit.

    I mean, that does seem to be the best course of action. It's not hurting him to still be in there, but it could easily hurt him to remove it.

      Yeah, I'm not going to fault them for that decision. Now if (when) they refuse to remove it if (when) it becomes inoperable, then that's an unjustifiable and unforgivable decision.
