Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

If Elon really wants to look innovative smart and cool by advancing cybernetics why the fuck did he start with the part of the body that is crucial and will instantly kill you if something goes wrong? Why not just make like, cool futuristic robot arms that have electronics in them or something
I think you answered your own question. He wants to play god and messing with the brain is more fun for him. And if he kills somebody and their family sues him for $100m - what does he care? He can spend literally millions on legal fees to drag the case out for years and years to try to break them. He gets to play god again.
If he wins - he's on cloud nine. If it looks like he might lose - he can offer them a deal - the money with an NDA. Then he can have private detectives and tech bros follow them around for years and if they break the NDA - he'll fuck with them by suing them.
I just made myself throw up in my mouth.
Listen if I can't be turned into Jax from Mortal Kombat, then I'm just not gonna care.
I will settle for no less than mantis blades
Why stop at Jax?
I wanna be Cyrax or if possible, the Cyborg Sub-Zero
Possibly part of his techbro fetishisation of immortality. Get the NPCs to crash test the implants and speed development, then something something, post-singularity godmind ruler of the internet (who the meatspace slaves all think is Really Cool because of their nerve staples).
