Dying of thirst because someone botched an update that was automatically pushed overnight.
Under rare circumstances, the update from last night could lead to death. Luckily, it only affected 3.14% of our users, causing only a minor dent in our revenues.
When my company provided neuralink with crowdstrike installed crashes and forces me to sleep so I and half the country can’t work the next day
Not hearing these news stories because the owners of all media are billionaires that are in cahoots with each other.
Dying of thirst because Musk never bothered to have someone update his product’s TIME_T to 64-bit.
“We realised we could use the same neural pathways that rabies does. Isn’t it lovely when nature saves a large corporation development money?”
Whatever ended up happening with that neuralink project? Does that guy still have one? Or did Elon get distracted and forget about his tech living in brains.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuralink, “85% of the device’s implant threads had completely detached”. They tried a project on a second patient. The U. S. Attorney General, who had been investigating Neualink was escorted out of her office.
He was pressuring his employees to go faster with testing and development, as their competitor (I believe it was Synchron) got approved for human trials way faster.
Well, “move fast and break things” isn’t really a good mindset while performing animal trials, and after about 1500 deaths, many due to botched and rushed brain surgery, the research facility actually got audited for animal cruelty allegations (which happens SO rarely because the law basically allows anything when you say it’s “research”).

This also appears to be his dumbass approach to the federal government.
It’s a great strategy, but exclusively for software engineering. Weird tech bros who want to run the world like a software company inherently don’t understand that fact.
When brain implants become compulsory for employment
You should read Feed by MT Anderson. It’s a cyberpunk story where almost everyone has a computer implanted in their brain. One of the few characters who doesn’t immediately fails his job interview because he couldn’t get a DM from the guy sitting across his desk.
I worry we are already getting to that point with things like Android/iOS. I don’t have a phone running either. My choice to do so has offended a few people or they try and argue with me but so far that is as far as it has gone.
It probably helps that I cycle rather than drive, so I don’t need to worry about permission for parking. A lot of parking for a car requires an app now.
Thank you very much for the recommendation. Always looking.
