        I’m not sure that that’s the optimal route to the brain. I’m not a brain doctor though, for all I know suppository-style brain chips are the way to go.

    Is there an open source equivalent then?

      i don’t know, but for any possible positive use for it, the only legal way must be open source, or else we’re in deus ex territory.

      i know fuckwits like elon cannot see past aesthetics so they think it’s cool but brain chips are as close the Torment Nexus as we can possibly get.

        The reality of funding is probably going to mean that open source is off the table.

        I’m with you, Elon Musk is a life lesson into why key services such as internet or brain computer interfaces should not be in the hands on the few. Path seems set unfortunately as too much money is on the table.
