For those who don't remember, for a few months now there has been constant talk about Neuralink, a project that allows users to control computers thanks to their minds, so that people without mobility in their hands can continue working. And in fact, the person who started the experiment has already been made known, and its performance has been positive, since he has been able to play titles such as chess. Microsoft.
This has reached a new level, since they have recently interviewed Nolan Arbaugha 29-year-old man who mentions that he has been able to play 8 hours in a row, but now to the title of Civilization 6, which totally requires the use of the brain, since it is a real-time strategy game and there are also city management elements.

Neuralink has been criticized for the way it conducted its trials, with experts pointing out a lack of transparency around elements such as the number of subjects or the results it evaluates. The company's previous experiments with monkeys have also been the subject of debate, including reports that animals involved in the trials had to be euthanized after suffering complications that included brain hemorrhages, among other complications that would lead to their imminent demise.
Elon Musk has been aware of all this, so they have gone through many processes to get to this point.

Author's note: It's amazing how far technology has come, but it's also sad how many lives were sacrificed to have the current version. Experimenting on animals is definitely never going to be okay.
