The monkey was implanted a neuralink and he was able to play mindpong with a joystick and when he did it good, he was given a sip of fruit smoothie.

Arguments /facts:
- He was able to play mindpong
- If a 9 year old monkey can do this, we don't know what we would be able to do
- They confirmed that the monkey died during this project of neuralink

Dialogue:
If this monkey died during this project we never know what could happen to us. This is a good idea but it's scary.

Summary:
Elon musk tried this experiment with a monkey and the monkey was able to play mindpong. He was given a sip of fruit smoothie everytime he did the correct move. During this project (Neuralink) this 9-year-old money died.

Neuralink is basically inserting a chip in your brain controlling it and leaving you without privacy.

Arguments /facts:
- Potential for abuse and misuse.
- Invasion of privacy.
- Unintended negative consequences of BCIs, such as addiction, anxiety, or depression.
- Difficulty in removing or repairing BCIs if they malfunction.
- Increased risk of brain injury or infection.
- High cost of BCI technology.
- Limited research on the long-term effects of BCIs.
- It doesn’t cure psychiatric disorders like depression and addiction.
- Debilitating, blindness and mobility problems to people

Dialogue:
Can it cure depression? Can you control your dreams?

Summary:
Neuralink is a chip that is inserted in your brain invading your privacy. This chip can infect or injure your brain and if you want to take it off it is really hard because it is in the brain inside the skull. It is very expensive and doesn't cure psychiatric disorders like depression and addiction. Some consequences that Neuralink can create like, debilitating, blindness and mobility problems to people, can cause sometimes traumas after trying.

Neuralink won't cure psychiatric brain disorders

Arguments /facts:
- It won't cure psychiatiric brain disorders like addiction, depression...
- Paralyzed people may be able to walk again
- Blind people will be able to see again

Dialogue:
Some people (paralyzed people, blind people...) may need this but people with psychiatric brain disorders won't need this because it will not be able to help them.

Summary:
Neuralink will not be able to cure psychiatric brain disorders like depression, addiction and more. That means that Neuralink won't do anything against this. Neuroscientists don’t yet have that level of understanding for many brain functions and disorders so that means they they may not be sure about what they are doing to our brain with this experiment.

Neuralink improves life for people with neurological disorders and makes life more enjoyable.

Arguments / Facts :

-Working to reduce neurological disorders such as paralysis, blindness, hearing loss, memory loss, depression, and insomnia ...

-Expected that you can learn any skill, like piano, guitar… And listen to music just by thinking of one.

Dialogue:

This is an exciting idea, but can you learn the skills you want or only some specific ones, and can you learn unlimited skills?

Summary:

Elon Musk is experimenting with Neuralink and expects to be able to reduce neurological disorders, and with that chip, he already was able to cure depression. The most exciting expectation that he has is that you can learn any skill and listen to music just by thinking of one.

What kind of risks does this device have after implanting it into your brain?

Arguments/ facts:
- They need to learn the successes and failures of existing brain-computer interface technologies.
- The threads connecting to the chip need to be flexible, to minimize the damage to the brain tissue.
- Said that implanting the device would be as safe as having laser eye surgery, but the company still needs the FDA's approval.
- Epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease, also injuries to spinal nerves.

Dialogue:
What will happen if they implant the chip wrongly?

Summary:
They still don't realize the consequences that Neuralink can cause, this chip has to be implanted near all the nerves to pick up signals. Even though they said that can help with neurological disorders they are followed by Epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease, also injuries to spinal nerves.

Neuralink allowing us to control our phone

Arguments / Facts:

- Neuralink will allow us to control our devices from everywhere we go.

- It will connect us with bluetooth

- Neuralink is designing an app to allow us to control our keybord and mouse just by thinking about it.

- The app has guides and exercises that will teach us how to use the device

Dialouge: 

It will help lazy people :)

Summary:

Neuralink will make everything easier. It also has an app to teach us everything we need to know about it. Also doing work on laptops will be easier, because we can olny think about what we want to write and then it will be done.

- It will be in 2027
-Parkinson, epilepsia, paraplegia, quadriplegia or paralyzed people will also be cured.

Dialogue:
It has been a grat idea to create this experiment although it's scary, but how did Elon Musk has the idea to create this experiment?

Summary:
The Neuralink will cure  parkinson, epilepsia, paraplegia, quadriplegia or paralyzed people. That may make some people really happy, imagine you are a person with quadriplegia and you are able to walk again and move your whole body again.

Neuralink implants are an essential step to improving people's lives and the implantation became more secure.


Arguments/facts:

-Neuralink aims to be a safer and smaller option than some previous MBI technology

-Offer a low-power chip that doesn't require frequent battery changes.

-Neuralinks hopes to use a sewing robot to implant the chip into the brain 

Dialogue:

This idea really excites me, I wonder how the sewing robot will work.

Summary:

Elon Musk is still working on Neuralink and the main thing he is focused on improving is the safety of the chip. Some of the changes he did and plans to do are the battery and size of the chip, and also a sewing robot to do the implantation much faster.

The company killed many animals, what will happen to us?

Arguments/ facts:

- they have killed 280 sheeps, pigs and monkeys.

- We dont know how many have died especially from the process of implanting

- Many employees left the company because of how they are treating animals.

-  Elon Musk calls these surgeries "confirmatory, not exploratory"

Dialouge:

They would have big problems if they would do it on humans, which would die.

Summary:

This just shows how dangerous is neuralink. It had killed so many animals. And they will probably kill more in future. The surgery where the neuralink is implanted still needs to be beter.

Neuralink caused many animals to die or even worse, making them suffer and after throwing them away like they were just a wasted toys.
 
Arguments/facts:
- Killed at least 1,500 animals
- They killed over 280 sheep, pigs, and monkeys, as well as mice and rats.
- Used an adhesive to fill open spaces in an animal’s skull, created from implanting the Neuralink device.

Dialogue:
- Why is Neuralink causing so many animals to die?
- Animals shouldn't be the one to be tested, no one does.
Summary:
Neuralink caused scientists to test and kill animals. They killed at least 1,500 animals, over 280 sheep, pigs, and monkeys, as well as mice and rats. They wouldn't care ablut the animal being tested, they care about the device if it can be able to be tested on humans and win more money.

Neuralink could potentially affect our relationships in several ways.

Arguments / Facts:

-If someone has lost the ability to talk, and express themselves, neuralink is the key to bringing our loved ones back to us.

-Musk's technology might bring back our loved ones who we have lost through brain impairment but are physically still there.

-For the people who lose their loved ones to Alzheimer's, tragic brain injuries, or even advanced cancers that damage the brain, this technology could bring back the lost people.

Dialogue:

I wonder if neuralink chip will change the way we communicate with each other.
