Thursday Morning Randomness: 48 Fresh Randoms to Quench Your Thirst

Nathan Johnson Published 02/01/2024 in Funny

As we approach the end of the week, enjoy these fun pics memes, and Tweets at your own leisure.

If you haven't heard, Elon Musk's Neuralink project just installed its first real implant into a human test subject's brain. Anyone scared of the future thanks to AI, now has brain implants to worry about too. But while memes and reactions poured in about the news, it's not as bad as you might think... yet.

"[They are] recovering well," Elon tweeted about the undisclosed test subject. "Initial results show promising neuron spike detection."

Neuralink got approval to perform their procedure from the FDA and aims to test on people living with quadriplegia due to injury or ALS. Ideally, the link helps those people operate devices mentally, without needing physical motor function. In that respect, this seems like a positive breakthrough. But how long before, as one meme here puts it, someone uses it to "send 4.2TB of Skibidi Toilet rule 34?"

At least if the person is in Japan some of that will be censored, as another meme here points out.

In all seriousness, I see nothing wrong with cutting-edge technology designed to help people with spinal injuries. Just keep that procedure away from me and my brain. Now enjoy these randoms.
