This is pretty much the same deal in biology as well. At calico, at verily, at CZI, even at Allen, same story - they say they will reinvent biology research and then go get the same narrow minded professors and CEOs who run the status quo and end up as one more of the same stuff.

Neuralink is the only place where this pattern seemed to break a bit but then seems like Elon came into his own path with trying to push for faster results and breaking basic ethics.

This criticism is coming from an "ethics group" that is literally funded by PETA and is frequently criticized by an actual, legitimate group: the American Medical Association. It's baseless garbage, and the hypocrisy is not lost on me that it's published on Fortune, which is owned by a billionaire whose majority wealth comes from Charoen Pokphand. This company is responsible for some of the worst factory farming conditions on the planet along with being accused by the Guardian of using slave labor on their shrimping boats - an accusation they later admitted to. Fortune in general is a shit publication with an axe to grind against Elon.

The criticism is coming from current and former employees, regardless of who's amplifying the message.
