    I get it, you want brain chip treats.

    Don't expect people to cheer them on, especially if they're owned and operated by companies ran by my-hero and/or lord-bezos-amused . Also, the heat death of the universe is inevitable too; what's your point about that?

    They will eventually be safe and useful enough

    doubt

    I don't buy into your empty faith in exploitative techbro bullshit inevitably leading toward nicer and kinder things; some technological things can and do get worse over time, especially software, and I don't see how brain chips from the same techbros would be any less exploitative when capitalism requires growth mandates and that means more exploitative systems and more hostile practices over time.

    Judging an entire concept in perpetuity based on a single, early implementation is beyond short-sighted.

    Assuming it is both inevitable and will totally be nice to you and give you neat powers is escapist wishful thinking without material analysis.

    You sound like early Internet skeptics.

    You sound like a credulous NFT investor, complete with the "this is INEVITABLE" chanting and the "everyone will bow to this eventually and praise it" wishful thinking.

        Be as passive-aggressive as you want, "buddy," but you're making unsubstantiated claims, trying to chant them into existence for your own personal need for brain chip treats, all while ignoring the downsides of the current economic system and consequent technological trends, especially enshittification.

        and understanding technological trends

        You don't.

        You keep saying "inevitable" like society has a "science bar" that builds up over time like a Civ game, where it's only positive upward changes.

        I don't see why it's so offensive to you

        Now you're trying concern trolling. It's weak Reddit shit. Stop that.

        Lay off the assumptions for half a second

        You first, "IT'S INEVITABLE, THE CHIP TREATS WILL BE GOOD AND YOU CAN'T STOP THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM" true believer.

        there are actually nuanced and valid perspectives in the world

        And yours is not one of them.

        Relax, it's okay.

        More concern trolling and passive-aggressive smarm won't get you your chip treats any faster.
