Most people don’t even like the idea of wearing smart glasses or smart watches, and you expect them to line up and pay for brain chips? 🥴

Honestly? Terrifying. Not to get all "mark of the beast"y or anything like that, but they’re not going to have to force us to get brain-computer interface chips, people are going to line up for them and pay for it willingly. And then after a while, actual thought crimes become a real thing. I don’t want to live in a world where I have to worry about the encryption level of my brain. I don’t want Dear Leader, whoever that may be at the time, knowing if I like them.
10 years ago, this would have exited the hell out of me. Now? All I can think about is how fucking terrifying it is.

Most people on Lemmy, maybe. The smart watches are popular as shit, as far as I’ve seen. I rarely see someone without one out in public

It’s just a tool. Increased utility can always be misused, but that is a poor reason to delay advancement. Yes, we should be aware of potential abuses of better technology. But we should use this awareness as a tailwind to propel us to the greatest number of beneficial discoveries that we can.
