I did not see this reported in the lamestream Australian media, but it is worth thinking about. Elon musk, despite lip service being made to the dangers of runaway artificial intelligence and the emerging technocratic dystopia, is part of the process. His Neuralink, aims to put chips inside the human brain, for interfacing, and to eventually result in a transhuman. But, as has been reported by the IT mag, Wired.com, Neuralink has some explaining to do with its primate studies, where primates had their brain chips. As many as a dozen of Neuralink’s primate subjects had to be euthanized. Musk claims that the primates were close to death, but the sources dispute this. It seems the primates did die, or were injured from the brain implants. Yet, it is full speed ahead on this research aiming for human trials soon:
