NEURALINK'S FIRST BRAIN-CHIP IMPLANT IN A HUMAN APPEARED FLAWLESS. THERE WAS A PROBLEM

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Neuralink encountered a problem with the implant in its first human patient that reduced the amount of data the device could capture from his brain. Some of the implant's threads have come out. Neuralink has not disclosed the reasons why the threads retracted unexpectedly. Despite the implant's degraded capabilities, the patient is still able to navigate around his computer screen and play games. Challenges with the first test in a human patient were expected and the Neuralink team remains optimistic that this problem can be solved.
