@stclairashley @mcuban @X True. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are good things to have if all else are set aside, but in practice, the DEI initiatives are racist, sexist, and do not prioritize merit.

The amount of shock and awe at the Neuralink news is jarring. Though I'm truly excited about it, none of it was unexpected. People who know of me ought to watch some of my videos. You'll be much more educated about Neuralink. Of course, the onus is on me to improve the videos

Yann is misguided about the talented team at Neuralink. He's also wrong about the long-term potential of the company. Neuralink is building their devices to be safe and available for everyone. The probes are smaller than all prior devices, so impact to the brain is minimal.

@kyrvag @elonmusk @neuralink Let's just say that I, and many of my colleagues, would be really pissed off if something like this had happened to us. The only thing the Neuralink scientists could possibly do in the current situation is rage-quit. For most of them, it's not an option. Very few companies work
