People who desperate, on their knees and have no other choice.
Not sure if you are being sincere or sarcastic but you hit the nail on the head either way. It's predominantly for paralyzed and disabled people to be able to have mobility. It was a short article but it did cover the two studies:
"The Prime Study, designed for an estimated five patients, allows paralyzed patients to control external devices such as computers or smartphones with their minds. A second study, Convoy, is designed for three patients, and allows them to control devices such as assistive robotic arms."
yeah if I was paralyzed I could see being part of this.
Right?! I get the whole fuck Elon circle jerk. Dudes an idiot. But with that being said, I am still fascinated by starlink, spaceX, neuralink and Tesla. I dont have a lick of social media beyond this lemmy account (and obviously my definatelynotporn@lemmynsfw.com account or whatever the user tag is), I also do not have cable to be exposed to cable news or main stream media takes. So my fascination is entirely driven by these types of articles that make a mention of musk but the focus is on the advancements being made and while Elon will be in history books for each of these leaps in technology, I still remain fascinated because the advancements are being made by very qualified, very intelligent individuals. As well as the impact these projects have on our everyday life.
oh don't get me wrong. I mean if I was desperate enough I would certainly try. As far as his companies starlink seems like a nightmare with all that space junk, tesla was something but has pretty much lost it, spaceX is still the best option though.
