This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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.
"business wants to sell lots of products" fucking duh who cares.
Fuuuuuuckk no.
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.
No thank you.

You'll get all of Elon's brain farts beamed straight to your brain.
Ok now the "number of the beast" types are starting to sound a lot more logical somehow...
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?
I want to implant Elon with 00 buck
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
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.
Gotta harvest massive amounts of training data somehow. Thats the way to stay ahead.
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.
Don't really like the guy but the implants are for people with disabilities that stop/hinder their ability to interact with the digital world, which is certainly fun and exciting for those who want that ability. It's a shame Musk is the figurehead for many of these projects because his brand is dirt to anyone that isn't neck deep in blockchain, AGI, culture war, and general scam content.
They've existed for decades but required a "helmet" like device.
There's no people waiting for this who can't use the existing and safe tech.
We were literally doing this with monkeys 50 years ago, and Musk killed all his monkey subjects because they couldn't even do basic brain surgery in a sterilized lab
Now he wants to do it to humans.
Not a chance.
