Tldr, it’s clickbait, probably written by ai. The chip lost some connections and musklink claims they’ve fixed it. The human guinea pig seems ok.

NEWSLINE PAPER,- The first Neuralink brain implant in the human headly did not work smoothly, in which damage occurred to parts of the implant’s ulto-thin electrode system.
The brain chip called “telepathy” implanted in the head of a 29-year-old man named Noland Arbaugh through surgery in early 2024 suffered damage. Damage occurred to part of the chip system.
This brain chip was created by Elon Musk’s biotechnology company, Neuralink, with the aim of creating a brain-computer interface that allows humans to control a device with only a mind.
The implant consists of over 1,000 electrodes that are combined into 64 super-small, thinner-sized “strands” of human hair designed to channel signals from neurons. These flexible strands are mounted through robotic surgery into the motor cortex of the brain, the brain area involved in movement. This is the part that’s in trouble.
“In the weeks following surgery, a number of strands were pulled from the brain, resulting in a decrease in the number of effective electrodes,” Neuralink said in a blog post.
As a result, the task of controlling the computer’s cursor with the mind is experiencing little trouble, especially in terms of speed and accuracy measured in bits per second. (BPS).
Although the Wall Street Journal that Neuralink is considering removing the implant, the fact is that the company now claims to have addressed the problem by making changes to the algorithms involved in recording the nerve signals, and how these signals are then translated into cursor movements.
According to Neuralink, these changes have successfully fixed the BPS so that Noland can control the device even better than when the implants were first installed.
As for the brain chip capabilities, they were first shown to the public in early March 2024 through a video upload on the social media X. The video uploaded to the Neuralink account shows how Noland, who is paralyzed from shoulder to shoulde, is able to control a computer cursor to play chess.
“I love playing chess, so this is one of the things that allows me to do it. I haven’t been able to yield much fruit in the last few years, much less like this—chess game,” said Noland. “I have to use my mouth—to control the rank—but now everything is done with my brain.”

“the corporation” is a little old now (early 2000s) but it covers neoliberalism, globalization, and privatization pretty well
Oh good they found a new signifier for “Bernie Bros”
an apartheid state who has terrible relations with all neighbors and is inexorably tied to a declining empire who sees you as a goon squad to deal with their geopolitical enemies, all for a few billion dollars a year in military equipment? It’s a bold move, cotton, let’s see how this plays out

So any car over 3,200lbs. my subcompact Honda Fit weighs 2300lbs. The 2024 Honda Accord weighs 3200lbs. I know eu has many more subcompact options than the US, cuz every car available here is basically an increasingly egg shaped amalgam of station wagon SUVs that weigh 4k lbs.
There was some magic internet data thing where third party apps (like various reddit apps not owned by reddit) access and use reddit to power their apps, free of charge. That’s API. Pretty much all voluntary reddit mods use third party apps to mod. Reddit started charging for the API, making third party apps useless, forcing everyone into the Official Reddit App. A lot of people boycotted or quit.

This is what we have instead of health care, and boy do we have a lot of it

I’m kinda going through that with house plants
You know what, let’s draw up a chunk of the US somewhere, call it New Israel, and move all the Israelis there and leave Palestine alone
Ah yes, the strategy of “ignoring well publicized storm reports” and “not taking a single well-established precaution such as lowering the rudder for stability and closing windows and doors”
