Re: Elon Musk NeuraLink Update: August 28th
Musk has yet to do much new science. He's getting PR for less than it appears he's done. We've gone so far as monkeys controlling robotic arms. So far, all he's shown is that his company can manufacture something that's tied with the state of the art with his method, maybe a little bit ahead.

You can't replace things that are missing via gene therapy in the general case, and it's also not at all possible to develop one cure. You have no choice but to do it per disease, at a cost of tens of millions of dollars each and the entire clinical trial thing, and then sometimes it'll be like "and then you have to get it at age 10 because it only stops it getting worse" etc etc etc. There's only hope for a biological cure for the really, really common stuff.

I don't know why everyone seems to forget that you can literally just flip the off switch on this stuff and it, like, turns off. Quite apart from the stimulation problems probably not being that big a deal and probably being fixable in some fashion if they are, you can just turn the thing off. But yet every time this stuff comes up everyone just overlooks that aspect of it.
