#Musk’s completely unsupported and unhinged promises of future therapies, treatments or prosthetic devices enabled by his #Neuralink firm and this #Tesla “#Optimus” humanoid robotics project is pretty damn disgusting.
A new, disgusting low.
Even relative to Tesla’s vast #Autopilot and #FSDBeta wrongdoings, which is saying something.
This “#Optimus” humanoid robot is so primitive currently relative to the state-of-the-art that there is zero visible path for prosthetics use.
#Neuralink has not even so much as had a single human trial. There is zero underlying support in terms of patient benefit, safety and capabilities.
These disgusting, off-hand overtures by #Musk give people who may be suffering from debilitating and painful physical and neurological issues false hope, at best.
At worst, patients may reject the advice of their current medical professionals to hold out for these fantastical medical treatments and devices that #Musk has zero visibility on.
Unethical to the core.
If we had any semblance of effective regulatory agencies in the US, Musk would have been cracked good a while ago.
@adamjcook This makes more sense when you consider that Theranos' and Elizabeth Holmes's downfall was not because she was a sociopath, not because they lied to patients and put them at risk.
...It was because she caused a very specific subgroup of the monied political class to lose on their investment.
