So much of the media is pure trash

Headline: "First human brain implant malfunctioned, Neuralink says" and many others equivalent to it

Reality: An update at the 100 day mark saying things are going great and are life changing for the first patient Nolan Arbaugh. Instead of using a stick in his mouth, he can now just use telekinesis to control his computer. Much faster and zero stress on his body. "[The Link] has helped me reconnect with the world, my friends, and my family. It's given me the ability to do things on my own again without needing my family at all hours of the day and night."

The core technicality that these headlines are using is that performance dipped for a bit as the brain and neuralink threads shifted.

You see trash articles all the time but this one really got me. I read the update two days ago and didn't even consider that someone could twist any of it as negative.

I've seen a lot of people assume something terrible happened to the person.


It's not the same thing, but there are tons of articles about one of the producers on Your Name, being a pedo. For some reason none of the articles name the person in the headline.

Literally every reddit thread that I've seen on it, the top comment has been basically "it's a producer you've never heard of, it's not the director."

Yeah something similar happened with the sound of freedom movie. Lots of people thought it was produced by a kidnapper, but the guy was just a crowd investor (and not a kidnapper).
