"asked if Neuralink would perform another surgery to fix or replace the implant, but the company declined"

Evidence whether the company saw them as a person, or felt any ethical obligation...

It's an interesting era when an organization can have a single user, and choose to leave that single user with 85% of the promised functionality no longer functional. But is happily pursuing it's second user.

I prefer flipping that number on it's head. 15%. They delivered 15% of what they promised and are now saying "fuck it."

It's the equivalent of writing your name on the exam, and then sitting there doodling for the rest of the time.
