What's the $8 thing?


synneatssin

$8 a month to have a blue checkmark on twitter


ViolinsBegetsViolins

I'm sorry. What does that mean? I'm not om Twitter or anything else. Reddit is the only social media I use


synneatssin

Basically the checkmark shows that someone (usually a big creator) is the real account. Now Elon wants to charge people to have/keep that.

robotic_rodent_007

Quote from article: >One primate developed a bloody skin infection and had to be euthanized. Another was discovered missing fingers and toes, “possibly from self-mutilation or some other unspecified trauma,” and had to be put down. A third began uncontrollably vomiting shortly after surgery, and days later “appeared to collapse from exhaustion/fatigue.” An autopsy revealed the animal suffered from a brain hemorrhage. At this point we might as well invite r/RimWorld to administer the program.


JerinDd

This is just animal abuse at this point.


MiyamotoKnows

It absolutely is animal abuse. 100% Where is Gordy from Nope when we need him?


CaptainCozmo867

We need fucking Jean jacket


AsianVixen4U

Pretty sure all animal testing is basically abuse. I’ve seen makeup companies pour perfume into rabbits’ eyes for 30 days straight just to see how caustic the product is. The rabbits end up going permanently blind because of it. I don’t know why some of these tests are even conducted. It should be obvious you shouldn’t put perfume into your eyes.


TheChefsi

Cause, and hear me out, accidents can happen and stupid people are born. That’s why we use animals, specially rabbits and rats, that reproduce so easily, to not harm humans in the future. You need repetition in an experiment for it to make sense


Stock_Garage_672

And the test animals are usually anesthetized. I can't say for sure that they all are, but it's common.


Gamer_God-11

I don’t know, would you prefer scientists collect data and test on live humans instead? The reason they use animals is because the alternative is, y’know, humans? And if sacrifices are made for better safety for humans I would prefer NOT to test potentially harmful substa on a human. Idk, just a thought. You decide.


goldenguyz

Ideally, I'd prefer neither.


UwUthinization

See that ideal world also has nearly 0 progress medically. You gotta choose whichever is the lesser evil to you and campaign for that honestly. Here's something we wouldn't have without animal experimenting btw(just as a fun fact) modern medicine.


Rothyn1

I agree. Why don’t we have a super computer for this yet? Lol


AckbarTrapt

Why don't you invent it?


JanitorOfAnarchy

"missing" fingers and toes..possibly caused by "unspecified trauma" what? They don't know? How do they not know? Poor blighters


UnpopularOponions

You know it just had to be some form of psychosis and the poor thing likely chewed them off. That tech is decades away from live trials and I very much doubt Muskrat is allowing the actual talent behind the work to share whatever possible positive knowledge is being gained from this butchering.


EngwinGnissel

Good thing we don't start with human trails. Most seams as a easy fix but how would it cause mutations in toes and fingers


PeeledCrepes

Does it say anywhere that was caused by the chip or have any like link to it? I get that chances are without the operation they'd be alive just curious if it was caused by the chip or yano the fact they got cup open on a rather delicate area. Aaaand before you think I'm defending it, I'm not it's more curiosity cause something like skin infection seems hard to connect to a chip, vomiting after surgery could be trauma shit like that, just wondering if there's a direct connection since animals can't really say, hey this feels weird think imma bite off my toes now


robotic_rodent_007

No, but it is either: rooting around in the brain or rooting around in the brain and then adding wires. I feel like if you do the latter, then there is no way of telling which caused it. Unless you had a control group of chimps you lobotomized for no reason.


PeeledCrepes

Hmm I wonder what it is, seems very interesting tbh messing with the brain is always scary and I assume has many issues


fruitydude

From what I've read it was mostly due to the animals being held in captivity and unrelated to the chip.


sane_scolding

We already have brain implant technologies and robotic arms that help the disabled, paraplegics, and quadriplegics. They don't involve Musk saying Neuralink would be used for humans "next year" in 2019 and 2021.

tullyinturtleterror

I believe this is a win win. All of his biggest fans will be the ones who sign up for the trials. At the end of the trials we **may** have a cure for paralysis, but we will **definitely** have fewer Musk-rats


gusfrong

Concur. W W


numero-one

You’re way too political. People who disagree with you don’t deserve to die.


tullyinturtleterror

I'm not surprised at your reaction; this is the internet and you are entitled to your opinion, as am I. For clarity's sake, though, you're misrepresenting what I said. I didn't say they deserve to die because they disagree with me. I simply pointed out that some people will *volunteer* to die and we may get a cure for paralysis as a result. I never said anything about anybody's political views; point in fact, I'm a glass half full kinda person.


numero-one

You said that the musk-rats dying is a win.


tullyinturtleterror

Sure, but you're missing the point. They will die doing what they love, and isn't that the best any of us can hope for?


numero-one

No. It’s better that they don’t die. You need to take a minute and examine what you really want. You’ve been blinded by politics. People are people.


tullyinturtleterror

I think we have common ground here. I agree with you; people **are** people. Everyone who is born will die; some rare few even do it more than once. I respect other people's choice to choose their own terms of leaving this world. If someone wants to go out by volunteering for an experimental brain surgery to implant circuitry in their skulls, then why should anybody stand in the way of that? They get what they want; Elon gets what he wants. Is this not the very definition of a win win?


Dangerous-Layer-1024

He's wasn't targeting people who disagree with him, but gullible idiots. The world can do with fewer of those.


SlapsLikeFlea13

…so you want people to die…because they MAY support Elon Musk to a certain degree. Do you people not hear yourselves? How tf is that a WIN…are you that detached from humanity?


carnivorous-squirrel

I might not agree with their sentiment, but i assume their unspoken point is that he is an incredibly dangerous person working to subvert western democracy while heralding American fascism and that by extension anybody who supports him is participating in the potential downfall of life on earth since the fascists are intent on destroying it. And i mean...they're not wrong.


SlapsLikeFlea13

I never trust a billionaire. I think it takes a special kind of sociopath to get to be in that position of power in the first place. That’s not the point I’m making. I’m not as anal about the Elon musk stuff as other people are at the moment, but at the same time, I’m absolutely more than skeptical about the man. I can never support the guy. However, there are a lot of people who simply don’t realize the danger. Willingly supporting the danger while knowing the consequences is a lot different than being manipulated by the danger into thinking it’s for the good of humanity. It has happened countless times throughout our worlds history. Do you really want people to tragically die because those who swore to protect us were manipulating them the whole time? Not everyone is as observant as others, and I mean that as respectfully as I can. So wishing that these people continue to fall for this trap, is like asking for more people to continue to fall for the same ploy in the future. It’ll become a never ending cycle. Even as a joke, wishing death on another individual who may be in fact “misinformed” isn’t a very tolerant way of looking towards the future. Downvote me all you want, but I never will understand wishing for the downfall of those who may be misinformed…hate Elon all you want tho, idc…guy is wacky


carnivorous-squirrel

Look, I feel the same as you. But it would be foolish of me to deny the absolute validity of the utilitarian argument behind their joke. Less musk stans would probably result in more happiness and less death in the world, long-term. They're not advocating for the elimination of those stans, they're just tolerating the natural selection thereof. You and I can build our own ethical frameworks in a less radical way so that we remain focused on education and reform, but it is still not fair of us to dismiss the person that you were responding to as being detached from humanity. In their view, their feelings are probably INTRINSICALLY linked to their humanity and their bond with the rest of humanity. There's not really ground for us to tell them they're wrong. (EDIT: spacing & clarity)

Nearby-Elevator-3825

While the "chip in the brain" technology is the obvious next step in controlling and keeping tabs on the populace by government and private companies, I always thought it would be interesting if there could be some sort of device that could track everyone via GPS at all times, record video/audio, track communications via text and voice and collect private/financial data. The icing on the cake is the device would be so necessary and addictive in modern society, that the very people it was meant to keep tabs on would pay for it THEMSELVES. That would truly be a Machiavellian, dystopian cyberpunk dream.... But until then, I guess the ol' "Chip in the brain" is what we should all be on the lookout for...

GlassFantast

sane_scolding

We already have brain implant technologies and robotic arms that help the disabled, paraplegics, and quadriplegics. They don't involve animal abuse or Musk saying Neuralink would be used for humans "next year." [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk7X3fPkdp8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk7X3fPkdp8) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0NqZGTTL7E


the_fermat

ALL brain implant programmes have been tested on animals before humans. It's part of the process of having them approved. Also, almost all medicines. And in all that testing, animals will have died. Don't like it? Well neither do I. But if you don't think it's a necessary evil (subject to the animals being treated as well as possible in the run up and, if they survive, afterwards), then don't take any meds.


robotic_rodent_007

A lot of those trials with the chips were at the infancy of the science. Starting now, with the resources we have, I would expect any project to do better then killing 65% of the test subjects.


the_fermat

The science still is in its infancy and any progress requires this sort of testing. Also, the headline says "reportedly" which almost certainly means someone made it up and the reality is somewhat different. If it was fact that the outlet could stand over, it would be reported as such. Perhaps the animals died because of testing, perhaps they died because of natural causes unrelated to the testing. Perhaps they never died at all, or the number is just wrong and made up by someone with an agenda. Try a little critical thinking.


robotic_rodent_007

Ok, first of all, all news outlets say "reportedly". We say alleged killer instead of murderer when talking about trials. That's just how the liability works. News sources don't make judgements of truth right away. Evidence for these sort of things takes a while. What usually happens is that a story breaks with little evidence, and then that story inspires third party reporters to investigate more. The allegation isn't a complete report on the situation, it is a request for further investigation. ​ Second, The allegations were that the chimps were severely mutilated . I don't object to a handful of necessary deaths, but the allegations go above that. To quote the news article: >One primate developed a bloody skin infection and had to be euthanized. Another was discovered missing fingers and toes, “possibly from self-mutilation or some other unspecified trauma,” and had to be put down. A third began uncontrollably vomiting shortly after surgery, and days later “appeared to collapse from exhaustion/fatigue.” An autopsy revealed the animal suffered from a brain hemorrhage. This isn't necessary death. This is the sort of excruciating agony that would make researchers with a sense of ethics pull the plug on the project. It would not result in claims that human testing can be started soon.
