I'll implant a bullet in my head before any tech directly touches my neurons.

Dreams of a cyberpunk future where the sum total of the world's knowledge of any subject can be just a thought away

Most likely reality:

Popup ads are now intrusive thoughts. 40 percent of your implant's processing power is spent looking for cues in your environment to better serve you "curated content" (i.e. advertising). Knowledge is still somewhat freely available but just after this quick shout out to our sponsors.

When you're looking for something specific it's a coin toss whether you get actual knowledge or an AI hallucination and you can't tell the difference. You can pay $279.99/mo for premium access to verified sources, but if your licence expires you forget everything.

(got an email from google - reCaptcha is now 10,000 hits free rather than a million...)

I'm really high, and I just need you to know you posted good.

You'd be Elon's cyberpunk, though.

Learn some computer security, get yourself a secondhand laptop and a shitty hoodie. There, you're cyberpunk.

No potential brain melting wetware needed.
