    lol I know you’re kidding, but there’s implication of those willing to get things implanted. Society seems to run on hype nowadays. Look at AI and how fast people are jumping on board with trying it, sometimes out of FOMO. Not to say there’s no merit, but if that FOMO feeling spreads real quick, without proper guardrails, Musk will eventually get what he wants.

      I think a big aspect is going to be disability. I don’t think any able bodied people are going to be rushing to get this in their skull, but if I had full body paralysis? Fuck it, why not.

    Wait til it does something that employers want. The issue is that this kind of thing can become de facto mandatory.
