You lost me here. My gut feeling from reading the article and this thread has been that the monkeys should have been better taken care of. But the idea that every human advancement will only result in a win for the capitalist hellscape is some blackpill bullshit. There are people who are trapped inside their own bodies due to neurological disabilities. Even if neuro-interfacing technology is used to huck consumer convenience devices, there are likely positive impacts on devices used to help these people. I don't really care about the 90% of people who are lining up to buy the neurolink equivalent of an iphone. I care about what those implications have for a disabled minority, as do many other people here who are commenting. You don't have to feel like the trade-off is worth it, but if you aren't going to acknowledge that maybe technological process presents opportunities to help people, than you are being willfully ignorant.
