     My thought on Neuralink implanting tech in human heads for the first time:

     Brain implants are one of those technologies where the MTBF for the implant MUST exceed the MTBF of the implantee. And there must be lifetime after-sales support, Or else the execs who made the decision to pull support should go to prison for the rest of *their* lives.
