My wife is a neuroscientist and she had the same thought, but when she looked into it she discovered that while Neuralink is slower, it leaves fewer scars and is much less invasive than the SOTA you mentioned.
This allows the implant to be re-implanted almost forever, and they already made a ton of progress into use fewer probes.
The old implants would work for a few years and had at most 2 implantations until the brain tissue could no longer take more. Synchron, by an ex-Neuralink employee, is aiming to be even less invasive.
Maybe spend more time researching than hating and you'll end up with a more factual state of the world.

The comment you were replying to was the kind of dismissal we want to avoid on HN, but we need you to avoid swipes like this on HN. The comment would been fine without that last line. Please try to observe the guidelines, especially these ones:
Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.
When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
I believe you when you insist you were trying to be encouraging. It’s just that it didn’t come across that way, and several other users flagged and downvoted it, presumably for that reason. We often underestimate how our words come across. What seems like reasonable, friendly advice when formulated in our minds can end up coming across as a snarky personal attack by the time end turns into words on a screen read by strangers.
It’s all good, please just be mindful of this and think about how you can avoid your intended sentiment being lost next time you post this kind of comment.
