Considering this is pretty much ground-breaking work involving brain surgery, I think it's prudent for Neuralink to wait to see what happens instead of immediately performing another surgery. If I were in charge I'd definitely take things slowly and surely instead of trying to move fast and possibly break things.

Out of curiosity, what do you think about the fact that they knew from animal testing that the retraction issue existed, but they installed it into a human anyway?
