[Neuralink has successfully implanted in a
second patient its device designed to give
paralyzed patients the ability to use
digital devices by thinking alone,
according to the startup’s owner Elon Musk.

Neuralink is in the process of testing
its device, which is intended to help
people with spinal cord injuries.
The device has allowed the first patient
to play video games, browse the internet,
post on social media and
move a cursor on his laptop.

Musk, in comments made during
a podcast released late on Friday
that ran more than eight hours,
gave few details about
the second participant
beyond saying the person had
a spinal cord injury similar
to the first patient,
who was paralyzed in a diving accident.

Musk said 400 of the implant’s
electrodes on the second patient’s brain
are working.
Neuralink on its website states that
its implant uses 1,024 electrodes.]




[“I don’t want to jinx it, but it seems
to have gone extremely well with
the second implant,”
Musk told podcast host Lex Fridman.
“There’s a lot of signal,
a lot of electrodes.
It’s working very well.”

Musk did not disclose when Neuralink
performed the second patient’s surgery.
Musk said he expects Neuralink
to provide the implants to eight more
patients this year as part of
its clinical trials.

The first patient, Noland Arbaugh,
was also interviewed on the podcast,
along with three Neuralink executives,
who gave details about how the implant
and the robot-led surgery work.]

And there was me thinking he's a bad person for applying the First Amendment to a social media platform.

If it wasn't for X no one would even know what was going on in their own country.
Because Facebook doesn't allow free speech. X does.

X is a cesspit Vanessa. If you mean it allows anyone to say anything whether it be true or false, then sure. If thats what you want, go for it. I prefer news that is based on verifiable fact

But the media isn't reporting objectively. That's the problem. Hard to know what to believe.

It's revolutionary technology.

Whatever anyone thinks of Musk, him and his team are going to go down in the history books if they can pull this off.

Vanessa, there are lots of independent media outlets not mainstream and not X. Get your news from a selection of those and you will get a balanced news that is factually accurate. All X wants to do is make people angry, because thats what makes people come back for more

There are different point of view in there as well.
But yes, there are other media outlets out there.

BOTS the media is bias anyway and they like to spin their own agenda and narrative , there's actually a platform out there called 'ground news' ... which is a website that tells you exactly which way they're leaning politically whether it's LEFT , RIGHT or more NEUTRAL when it comes to news headlines and stories out there ..... and it lets you make up your own mind for yourself. https://ground.news/

Yeah Pretty ground-breaking it will be, Musk is doing something amazing here.
