No thank you.
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

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.

You'll get all of Elon's brain farts beamed straight to your brain.
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...
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.
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
sure; it's not like the monkeys and the first human person you did it to didn't die or anything....

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.
Not a chance.
I want to implant Elon with 00 buck
Millions of people want to plant Elon Musk six feet under.
Pretty sure Elon musk also wants to hangout at Epstein's Island again for intercourse with minors.
Elon Musk wants to do a great many things he can go cram up his butt and twist hard.
