What in the hell are people with brain implants going to do when they stop supporting their hardware or keep additional features behind a paywall. People would be forced to pay whatever the company wanted.
This is ripe for human rights abuse on a level we have never seen before. Imagine being locked out of your own body. Without important safety guards and laws to protect people it would surely cause untold suffering.
Either that, or just straight up obsolescence like what happened with some bionic vision aids
Just stops working one day, or eventually an exploit will drop that will never end up patched because the company folded. or due to planned force-upgrade obsolescence
How do you even exploit a bionic eye, it should just DAP the picture.
Even better way to enslave people than tying basic things like food, water and shelter to money and controlling how to get money. You literally have to pay or you will die and/or suffer.
Well, one can design and make and test implants that’ll still work 50 years after there’s no more Elon.
But! Today’s “progress” is about increasing functionality and performance, not reliability. And such implants will be made only when there’s taboo on unreliable stuff in such critical areas in 3 different dimensions - company getting murdered legally is the first, its management getting murdered physically is the second, nobody in their right mind buying such is the third.
Are those compatible with my COVID vaccine Bill Gates microchip?
Deus Ex: Human Revolution was not a manual, Elon
And we won’t be the cool protagonist with sleek looking augs and doing parkour with Icarus either. We’ll be the ones hooked on neuropozyne hoping for our implants not to haywire at some point.
No thank you.
I have seen the engeneering failure that is the cybertruck, no thanks.
I have a couple former coworker friends who slob this dude’s knob all the time. One of em is staunch anti-govt (but loves his orange dictator obviously) and refuses flu shots from work every year because according to his this year is the year they start micro-chipping people.
Both of em would be the first in line for musk’s chip
Ok now the “number of the beast” types are starting to sound a lot more logical somehow…
sure; it’s not like the monkeys and the first human person you did it to didn’t die or anything…
Not to say that anything about the project is good, but the first human implantee is very much alive.

You’ll get all of Elon’s brain farts beamed straight to your brain.
I want to implant Elon with 00 buck
can we implant them all in elon instead
Straight up his ass, via a boot?
Pretty sure Elon musk also wants to hangout at Epstein’s Island again for intercourse with minors.
I would love a brain implant. I want to live in the Matrix, I want to have the Feed. Just not from him. Never from him.
Not a chance.
Elon Musk wants to do a great many things he can go cram up his butt and twist hard.
Lol, hard FUCKING pass
As it requires going inside me, i wound never use it regardless of what it can do.
-my wife when I pitched the idea of get some toys for sexy time-
Millions of people want to plant Elon Musk six feet under.
If there were a software that aught to be in control of the user (rather than the developer) then it’s software running inside of you.
When things really matter all we have is conversation or violence. If our understanding of neuroscience gets good enough, this is where violence can/will happen.
I really hope this technology advances enough to help people in their daily lives. By neuralink or other people idc as long as it’s good.
Him first
You first Ketamusk.
Downvote because I don’t give a flying fuck what Musk wants and this is not technology
Gotta harvest massive amounts of training data somehow.
Yeah, nah. I see less Night City and more…permanent night city in that were all blind and/or dead. Although maybe the rampant all-powerful capitalism of the cyberpunk lore would still happen.
Approved. Let him pay and let Darwin sort it out.
Millions of people would like to implant ethics or reason (or both!) into Elon.
Those are the names of my two guns
With their consens?
Yes
… for now.
Of course, bad things happen only to those who dont consent.
That is the only way i can see him getting his way with this
I’d send them via hyperloop if that was even real
