Monkeys being tested on by Elon Musk-owned brain chip firm Neuralink were allegedly subject to 'torture', an animal rights group claims.

The biotech firm is developing a brain-computer interface, that it claims could one day make humans hyper-intelligent, and allow paralyzed people to walk again.

However, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) alleges that between 2017 and 2020, test monkeys owned by Neuralink were subject to experiments that amounted to torture, with evidence of rashes, self-mutilation and brain hemorrhages in documentation seen by the group.

The experiments were a partnership between University of California Davis, and Neuralink, with a reported 23 monkeys involved in the experiment, 15 of which died or were euthanized as a result of complications, or 'inadequate animal care'.

See, that's written so negatively. What about the 8 monkey that lived?

....right?
 
This is a bigger issue than most think. If there is no market for used EV's because of a catastrophic looming repair cost once the thing is out of warranty, original owners of new bought EV's will struggle to get anything for them when its time for them to buy again....which in turn leads to them hanging on much longer.

This kind of changes everything about the economics of car ownership and not in a good way. It will definitely slow how quickly EV's penetrate the market in meaningful numbers.
