Well... the brain chip experience for Deus Ex wasn't exactly fantastic. Seems reasonably on point.

Musk can go first. Maybe it'll help him save Twitter. Or he goes into the nuthouse. Either way, it would be a win.

I won't get a brain chip unless there's laws passed banning using them for advertising or for data collection, but knowing our current government those two things will end up being mandatory

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de 11 points 2 years ago

And then the next government just reverses that law. Doesn't sound fun.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago

I still wouldn't. If it's worth more than the fines, the laws won't stop corporations collecting data.

Based on how many monkeys Elon has killed, I'm not sure he'll have too many volunteers.

I would be down for it if it was a local only connection, no internet, it would also have to be fully owned, no license. I wouldn't even want the cons protocol to resemble tcp/ip

I'm amused how Neuralink was a highly regarded breakthrough celebrated by the likes of Reddit/Lemmy folks, but once Musk was revealed as an idiot, Neuralink is suddenly "lobotomizing".

I mean, after those monkeys died a little skepticism is warranted

Probably very safe. Though the tech is interesting, that the company is owned by such a person does not instill confidence about its future uses.

Behold the Rise of the Cybermen! Elon Musk is the John Lumic of our world. Humanity will be upgraded! https://piped.video/watch?v=TQs3gVobcfg

I'm in the awkward position of being genuinely excited by this type of technology while desperately wishing literally anyone but Elon Musk was pushing them.

I know the meme is making fun of these people, but the “expectation” makes it look like the only thing they expect to get out of it is feeling like they’re cool for having it

[–] Durotar@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This game's advertising is so effective, people voluntarily put it in memes (myself included).
