I think we all know where this is going.
Yeah, no, I’m not putting anything in my brain that isn’t open-source from end to end. And even then probably nah.
the only way, and I mean the ONLY way I'll put hardware in my brain is if I have resurrection level support like in Altered Carbon.
the fear of losing my outward identity over the ability to live forever is worth losing.
You still won't be able to live forever.
I wonder how often you have to back up in case you need a reboot.
Why so pessimistic? With any luck brainchips will mean the end of annoying adverts once and for all. You'll just feel an unexpected desire to acquire certain products. And maybe crippling headaches or a nauseating feeling of unease if you ignore these urges
this isn't for you, you're not a paraplegic, are you?
The article does not mention paraplegia.
Why does it have to? All current bci's are designed for the disabled, why would this one be an exception?
So rich people can make money on the hype and sale of a new product to the masses?
you know, like literally everything?
that's where regulators step in, do you honestly believe elon musk would not be implanting healthy people with neuralinks if regulators would allow? They won't, this is tech for people whose lives are so awful that not having one is worse than the things that may go wrong, for a very, very long time.
I didn't think an old nazi with 32 felonies would be the leader of the free world, I've been surprised a few times in my life but nothing really does it anymore.
Can you say your statement could hold up against 50 years of future trends? Transhumanism? Fanatics who want it so bad that they make it law?
For that matter, who's regulating Ai right now?
No, it won't hold up for 50 years, but if you don't want one don't get it?
These guys would beg to differ:
