The in-human clinical trial marks just one step on Neuralink's path toward commercialization.

    There are pacemakers with bugs shocking hearts incorrectly and companies can’t help. They’re bust or don’t have the copyright to the code or just won’t help - buy our new product next year.

    It’s not difficult to imagine malisous brain implants when the users are not in control. Being open source, or rather “free software”, is equally a main issue.

      There are pacemakers with bugs shocking hearts incorrectly, and companies can’t help.

      Do you have a source for that? I work with these pacemaker companies fairly frequently, and I’m not aware of this, and a quick search didn’t turn up anything.

        Karen Sandler of the Software Freedom Conservancy has a “pacemaker defibrillator” for her large heart, and has done a few talks about it. I read that a defibrillator is not the usual part of a pacemaker, so I may have misspoke.

          Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

          Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
