I would love a brain implant. I want to live in the Matrix, I want to have the Feed. Just not from him. Never from him.
What in the hell are people with brain implants going to do when they stop supporting their hardware or keep additional features behind a paywall. People would be forced to pay whatever the company wanted.
This is ripe for human rights abuse on a level we have never seen before. Imagine being locked out of your own body. Without important safety guards and laws to protect people it would surely cause untold suffering.
Either that, or just straight up obsolescence like what happened with some bionic vision aids
Just stops working one day, or eventually an exploit will drop that will never end up patched because the company folded. or due to planned force-upgrade

Even better way to enslave people than tying basic things like food, water and shelter to money and controlling how to get money. You will have to pay anything you are told or you will die and/or suffer. Try to rebel in any way and its kill or pain switch for you or refusal of service if its too early for that.
Its scary how this doesnt sound as crazy as it should

You'll get all of Elon's brain farts beamed straight to your brain.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution was not a manual, Elon
And we won't be the cool protagonist with sleek looking augs and doing parkour with Icarus either. We'll be the ones hooked on neuropozyne hoping for our implants not going haywire at some point.
I bet the guy down the street wants to sell millions of hot dogs.
Are those compatible with my COVID vaccine Bill Gates microchip?
Ok now the "number of the beast" types are starting to sound a lot more logical somehow...
If there were a software that aught to be in control of the user (rather than the developer) then it's software running inside of you.
When things really matter all we have is conversation or violence. If our understanding of neuroscience gets good enough.. this is where violence can/will happen.
sure; it's not like the monkeys and the first human person you did it to didn't die or anything....

I have a couple former coworker friends who slob this dude's knob all the time. One of em is staunch anti-govt (but loves his orange dictator obviously) and refuses flu shots from work every year because according to his this year is the year they start micro-chipping people.
Both of em would be the first in line for musk's chip
Pretty sure Elon musk also wants to hangout at Epstein's Island again for intercourse with minors.
I really hope this technology advances enough to help people in their daily lives. By neuralink or other people idc as long as it's good.
Millions of people want to plant Elon Musk six feet under.
I want to implant Elon with 00 buck
Gotta harvest massive amounts of training data somehow. Thats the way to stay ahead.
Lol, hard FUCKING pass
