I have nothing funny to say about this. This particular grift has already killed or permanently disabled, with agonizing pain, thousands of primates under sloppy conditions that would fit right in with Mengele.
I have deep, lasting hatred for these death cultists.
The bazinga is the quadriplegic guy they put the chip in. I’m guessing they’re telling him that he’ll be able to talk to the dog
style
Didn’t he already have some serious problems with the bazinga chip, but is stuck in a “still love the TRUCKKK, I mean the chip” sunk cost fallacy experience?
Disclaimer: I’m not opposed to technologies that may restore functions to disabled people; I’m opposed to underegulated startup bazinga shit that inflicts undue suffering with diminished scientific usefulness for a profit.
I think his brain was pushing the wires out or something? I’m assuming they fixed it, but still
I’ve never had a disability to the degree of a quadriplegic person, but I can bet it’s super cool to be able to play a stupid computer game for the first time in a long time without feeling like your body is in the way.
That being said, I can set aside my disbelief that one of the bazinga king’s companies can put out a chip that let’s someone interface with a computer (despite it’s super suspect safety), but communication with another person is a lot more complex - let alone communication with a different species. Why would anyone even consider doing this
Don’t they have cursor control based on eye tracking?
They do. I’m sure there’s other disability tech that doesn’t involve experimental surgery. I’m just saying I can kinda empathize, even though the guy with the chip is a bazinga doofus.
Putting the chip in the dog is a step too far though
I don’t have a problem with him putting a chip in himself and I can see why he did. The dog is too far though.
Yep, most of the electrodes migrated away from where they should be, so it doesn’t really work anymore.
It can’t be fixed and means no more implants.
