Before anyone gets too excited: some of their electrodes are no longer able to record a signal from the patient’s brain. They’re reprogramming their software to work with fewer electrodes. No one is being turned into a borg drone.
I don’t know. Even if the outcome is just that the implant just stop working, with no other issue, it’s looking pretty bad to me.
Since it required literal brain surgery just to be installed, which I assume is already a serious risk, it’s not something you want to potentially be useless.
All of them. The body doesn’t want foreign materials inside it at any point. You can’t just jam wires into your body and expect your immune system to not attack it. The organ interface problem as far as I know has never been solved.

A software patch for a hardware failure.
Sounds like what they do at Tesla, too.
Well it’s also what NASA is doing. Only logical if you don’t want to dig it out again.
That is still a pretty serious issue. It’s not something you should downplay
I was thinking more a vegetable than a borg drone.

The implant is already malfunctioning after a few months. Makes you wonder how many more of these threads will retract over the next following months.

We jam stuff into our body for all sorts of medical things.
Some require rejection meds for life. Others don’t.
Especially in less than 4 to 5 months. Damn thing was put in back in January and is already failing.
Damn. I finally thought this would be the year :(
Yeah nobody is worried about this.
