Did you know that smart chastity belts have been hacked in the past?

    I’m less worried about hackers than having major corporations have unabated access to stream whatever they want to your brain.

    Imagine to have to watch ads to access your brain music stream or ads while dreaming like Futurama predicted.

      People will never want chips installed in their brain. There’s just too many scifi movies showing why that’s a bad idea and the tech industry keeps completely ignoring the message and try to make it into a reality.

        I hope you are right. I agree, I don’t think I’d ever want one, but one can never know what technology will be available in a couple decades- I’m afraid at some point people will eventually find it enticing and before that, there’s always idiots who would just because.

        I’d hope that’s the case, but I mean, look at artificial intelligence. People are widely adapting that even though theres proof that its going to replace tons of jobs in the near future.

        But hey, “ooh shiny technology”

          Replacing jobs would be considered an immense public good in any sensible economy. Unfortunately, capitalism makes it so you die if nobody needs you to work. Nobody needing you to work is logically a GOOD thing! Why are people being punished for it??

        and if you want to stop it you need to pay $9.99/month

        At first. Then within a couple of years they will no longer offer a free version, and even those who pay will be forced to do whatever privacy invading garbage they push (as you say, can’t take it out - the epitome of “captive audience”).

      I was extremely excited about Neuralink, and the premise is so fascinating, but this clown is out to fucking ruin it for everyone.

        The trouble with all these technologies is that on paper they’re super exciting, but honestly name one company in existence today you’d actually trust enough to purchase it from?

        Idk about you, but I can’t think of any, and I wouldn’t trust my govt to handle it either tbh

          If course not.

          Ideally it would all be FLOSS and run by a non-profit, with a focus on health and transparency.

        Then, we need like thousands of actual skilled hackers to find every tiny security floor.

        Maybe see what can be done. Like, maybe, coyod it trigger pain? Maybe sleep paralysis?

        I mean. It’s all electricity, right? Ooh, maybe see if it can be over locked yo a point where it burns out.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the same people who are now excited about this chip are the same people who believe in conspiracy theories like the government controlling their brains and chips in vaccines.

    I’m not even worried about hacking. I’d be more concerned about the “legitimate” mandatory advertising direct to your brain!

      Elon Musk directly into your brain in 2030:

      Hello all my neuralink users, I’d like to tell you all about why trans people are evil for making my wife leave me and my daughter hate billionaires. But first, a word from our sponsor, Raid Shadow Legends.

    This makes no sense. Isn’t hearing music exactly the same thing? Also, your brain can’t hear music. This is just stupid. Plus this psychopath destroyed numerous test animals in order for them to be able to do this.

      The one that made me sad was the monkey that just sat with it’s face pressed into the floor because the chip had made its brain infected and it didn’t know how to deal with the pain, poor bastard.

      It is possible by stimulating your “hearing nerv” in the same way happening when you actually hear something.

    I guess your brain implant will probably kill you before the end of your favourite playlist. Just like all those test animals.

    Not gonna happen. But if it does it will probably be like Youtube and Spotify so prepare to hear ads in your brain if you don’t have the premium subscription.

      Bah, amateur. Ads are unreliable and fickle; why leave the effectiveness up to chance when you could just use the implant to create a compulsion to buy a Tesla?
