Battle Erupts Over Alleged Grisly Photos of Brain-Hacked Neuralink Monkeys
A California university is refusing to release a cache of grisly photos of monkeys reportedly injured during experiments testing Elon Musk's Neuralink brain implant technology, in spite of a lawsuit aiming to force the school's hand..
Earlier this year, Neuralink admitted that a fifth of the 23 rhesus macaques monkeys it used to test its brain-hacking implants had been euthanized after developing infections and malfunctions. Bolstering PCRM's credibility, that admission came in the wake of its a complaint it filed against Neuralink..
As the release notes, the school has already released hundreds of pages of documents which "showed monkeys suffering from chronic infections, seizures, paralysis, and painful side effects following the experiments."

Musk's Twitter chaos brings sharp FTC warning
Nearly two weeks into the company’s Elon Musk era, half of the employees have been laid off (prompting a class action lawsuit), large advertisers have paused their spending (leading to a “dire” financial situation), and Twitter’s previous system for verifying that people are who they claim to be has been deliberately demolished.
That means anyone can now set up an account pretending to be anyone else, and pay $8 for the checkmark that used to signify the account had been verified, but now means nothing.
Last night’s rollout of a new policy in which Twitter users could purchase “blue check” verifications for $8 a month uncorked a wave of bogus accounts, each bearing a blue “verified” check, impersonating a swath of public figures — Donald Trump, George W. Bush, Rudy Giuliani, Joe Biden.
Elon Musk’s Twitter came under sudden and unusual fire from the Federal Trade Commission in Washington Thursday, after a chaotic 24 hours in which new subscription rules triggered a raft of fake “verified” accounts, and key privacy and security executives quit.

If some amongst the PTB wanted to take Twitter down then they are doing a great job

Maybe people should stop looking to billionaires to solve problems, and realize billionaires like Musk ARE part of the problem.

People are celebrating a 'victory' here! Nobody wants to look at the downside or dangers of what we're championing here! We just want to eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we.....uh....er.....pay the fiddler?
We can HOPE this isn't the world's wealthiest fox gaurding the biggest henhouse ever, but if it seems too good to be true I'll wait to raise my glass in a toast. I'll give Musk a little time to prove he's not a Trojan horse, but the cards aren't stacked in his favor.
