Imagine allowing a private corporation to implant a proprietary technology in your soul-jello.

    The fuck.

    Also imagine giving these dipshits access to your brain meats, they were roasting dozens of monkeys for no reason just a couple months ago.

      I wonder if prisoners will start getting "lighter" sentences (inflated in advance) by "volunteering" for this. :lathe-of-heaven:

          Actually he'll probably just make people pay to get one

          People signed up for the cybertruck, they'll sign up for anything

      Roasting puts it in perspective I think. Imagine knowing how much heat computer chips put out, and still thinking shoving one in someone's brain is a good idea.

        Not many think about that part (myself included), and you're absolutely right, but King Bazinga doesn't care because he wants the cyberpunkerinos to come true because the blue curtains were that epic.

          It's one of the major limiting factors on brain implants right now. Heat management at that tiny scale is a serious problem.

        That is the only thing Neuralink has accomplished that other firms didn't do decades ago - they've managed to apply more probes per square inch, which would theoretically allow for more fine grained control. But they're sloppy, so they kill their monkeys, and their implant can't do anything that wasn't explored ten or twenty years ago.

        unless theyre offering absurd financial incentives that even poor people who have no idea what an elon musk is start signing up for trials

        If this isn't opposed sufficiently, there is no reason :porky-happy: wouldn't use coercion to push it on prisoners, immigrants, the disabled, and others from there, until it's an expected obligation to have any gainful work at all in much the same way an internet connection is roughly that now.
