The idea is as great as it is necessary. Unfortunately greed and corruption have overruled governments.

You have a fair and reasonable conclusion. It's sad that we literally cannot rely on any resource as truth, causing us to vet through umpteen sources in hopes of understanding anything. It's neither a suitable or sustainable path for society.

I completely agree and have wondered for, perhaps 20ish years, why different media outlets report on the same topic yet have a tendency to produce a completely different narrative. In the U.S., this has helped lead to the perfect division that has been in place since roughly 2007 which makes me wonder what the purpose and benefits are of a corporate run media. If media companies were private and refused funding from politically biased affiliates, we could get unblemished, factual news

Back to topic though, something to consider is this: just because an activist exposed the issue doesn't mean the events didn't occur. Moreover, the fact that a lawsuit is in progress suggests that there's possibly more to the issue than Nuralink/Elon is admitting to. Time will tell.

You'll find several sources on the web. Here's one that exceeds the 15:23 number but references images of dead monkeys while neglecting to mention the ratio of monkeys to subjects. Is it 1:1 or are there 5 images of the same monkeys per every subject? A lawsuit to release the data is ongoing. https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/technology/doctors-group-claims-elon-musk-uc-davis-371-photos-failed-neuralink-brain-chip-implant-experiments-killed-monkeys/article65953874.ece

How are these robots expected to determine friendly vs hostile target?
