I think of this as being straight up horrifying. This isn't exciting, this is going to be dystopian nightmare fuel. It's not hard to imagine this being imbedded into human beings against their will too, like prisoners in the US.
I would rather be a Borg, at least they were motivated by a collective good will to move to perfection, not puppets of a dying capitalist state and it's related ideology.
Exactly, my thought is that this will be used to be able to cause pain-on-demand by remote control -- the most effective slave making mechanism ever devised.
And to those that don't think so, this fits perfectly with the history of our species. For a psychopath seeking profit not to attempt do this would be weird.
You can already do that. You could already do that over a hundred years ago. I think it isn't happening (except in the case of dogs and invisible fences) simply because it isn't very useful.
