Elon Musk says no primates died as a result of Neuralink’s implants. A WIRED investigation now reveals the grisly specifics of their deaths as US authorities have been asked to investigate Musk’s claims.

    It’s not horrible, it’s factual. Try changing your diet to include lots of sugar, alcohol and caffeine, and also avoid physical exercise, and you’ll feel that even you are a different creature (feeling much worse at that).

    And that’s same old you. Now macaques are another species.

      But how do you assume that? Have you asked another species how different they are to us? It sounds like an equally far jump to say other species are vastly different as it is to say they are vastly similar to us. We just don’t know and the assumptions can be harmful.

          If you have this little empathy for things that are not that much different from us, I have to ask you if this view extends to other races, because it probably does.

            If you have this little empathy

            Nowhere in this thread I’ve said anything which would give you a reason for this conclusion.

            So you’ve been caught cheating, fsck off.

            EDIT: Ah, and also I’ve got all the bloody world of empathy, but have recently ran out of mercy for those who don’t even pretend at being good people. You have that habit of cheating in common with them.

              “I have lots of empathy I just choose not to use it”

              Bull, fucking, shit. The only way you can turn off empathy is if you were faking it from the start. Well now we know both why you’re acting this way (divorced) and why you got divorced. Better luck keeping the next one around.

                You are clueless. Stop imagining bullshit for other people, you look like a dramatic hysterical clown. This conversation is not about empathy, it’s about your mind not being sufficiently similar to a chimp’s mind to understand each other (despite appearances).

                Also it wasn’t about any woman, it was about genocide, and I’ve used different words for empathy and mercy, because these are different things in my comment.

                  Man this shit’s a fucking waste of energy. Normally I would block at this point but I don’t want to. I’m letting you off with a warning and dropping it here. Please avoid posting shit like this in the future.

      You just described protein starvation. That’s what you’re basing your world view on??
