Expert takedown of latest burst of Neuralink hype, from ever-reliable @garwboy.bsky.social. So frustrating that media keep falling for this, especially at a time when Musk & co are in midst of vandalizing the science research infrastructure of the US, damage that will reverberate across the world. 🧪
