Comment on there is a special place in hell for these scientists

So is this different only because those are human neurons?
To my mind, a neuron is a neuron. The only difference between your brain and a monkey brain is, again, the number of neurons and the structures they form. I don’t see this as any different from monkey or rat or ant or entirely digital neurons.

Why not? It’s a chip reading inputs from neurons. This meme doesn’t make it clear if the chip was also stimulation neurons but Neuralink has plans for neural stimulation and it’s possible this was also tested on monkeys. So what’s the difference?

You seem to be arguing against a point that no one has made.

You seem not to understand what is being discussed here.

Correct. That was basically my point – I don’t think anything is being discussed, people are talking past each other.
