Can this ability be disabled remotely, if the patient doesn't pay whatever subscription fee is attached?

Excellent question!

There is no fee, but you may black out only to awaken surrounded by the bodies of political and personal enemies of Elmo. Its called Super Happy Fun Mode.

If it doesn't continue to receive software updates/support I would almost hope it can be disabled. Like what happened with that bionic eye company recently.

Subscription fees? They can stream advertisements right into the brain. Best when sleeping.

Hello, and thank you for your interest in our product!

To reduce the go-to-market time, our engineering team focused on the core product first. This means we don't have a way to remotely disable the implant itself. But don't worry about incurring additional costs - we have specialized teams to disable the patient while our engineers are hard at work implementing this much-requested feature.

Best regards,

Neuralink support
