Sadly, until the 1% are willing to actually SHARE, we as a species literally cannot take the next step in automation because those psychopaths have absolutely no problems with condemning all of us to homelessness and starvation while replacing all human labour with the cheapest chinese knock-offs of commander data they can get.

They'll eventually have to, because if they don't there will be nobody able to buy their products and services.

The thing is, running out of customers will only be a "problem" to them in the sense that there's no one left to fleece for even more money. By which point there's also no more money to be gained in the first place. Why would they accept the offer to give all their money away just so they can enjoy earning some of it back? Unless this really is a "dog doesn't know what to do with the car if he ever catches it" type situation, I think they'll accept having succeeded at acquiring all the resources in the world as the best they're ever going to get.

There's always a lesser capitalist to fleece, at least until there's only one capitalist left.

Why do you think all these billionaires are obsessed with going to space? They're hoping to find aliens they can rip off next.

I say let them go to space as long as they promise to not come back.

Of course, we all know what a billionaire's promise is really worth, so....

U.S. regulators rejected Elon Musk’s bid to test brain chips in humans

Elon Musk says his brain-chip company will make the paralyzed walk and the blind see. But Neuralink still struggles to secure clinical-trial approval.

On at least four occasions since 2019, Elon Musk has predicted that his medical device company, Neuralink, would soon start human trials of a revolutionary brain implant to treat intractable conditions such as paralysis and blindness.

Yet the company, founded in 2016, didn’t seek permission from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) until early 2022 – and the agency rejected the application, seven current and former employees told Reuters.

The rejection has not been previously reported. In explaining the decision to Neuralink, the agency outlined dozens of issues the company must address before human testing, a critical milestone on the path to final product approval, the staffers said. The agency’s major safety concerns involved the device’s lithium battery; the potential for the implant’s tiny wires to migrate to other areas of the brain; and questions over whether and how the device can be removed without damaging brain tissue, the employees said.

Hell, I don't trust anyone to do that. And neither should anyone else. No one can be trusted with the power to literally control other people's minds. Not even a handful of volunteers.

Don't think Musky cares about trolls. Heck he pretty much IS a troll..... This is the same man who brought a sink into the Twitter offices when he took over the company after all.

Probably the same as the slave mines where his inherited wealth came from. He's never had to learn anything else.

Well, he HAS been generating disgruntled employees at Twitter since he took over. Just takes one with access to firearms, or heck, a knife to snap and Musk could easily be the target of an attack.
