So, Neuralink got FDA approval for human trials, and a certain fanbase is VERY excited about that

All the Elon stans can get brain chips implanted in their head while buying Twitter X merchandise.
In my teens I thought I’d be like the Major or Batou in the cyberpunk future.
Nope, Togusa. CYBER BRAIN BAD
I’m picturing that one day people will need guides on how to “jailbreak” their own brains, because they want the be able to live without the constant advertising and recording. Their brains no longer belong to them but the companies
They won’t even need to stream ads into your brain, because if the whole point is to influence your mind on stuff, well they’ll have root access to do so without you realising anyway.
I’d never opt for it unless i couldnt function without it, and I sure don’t wanna live forever in a computer, or at all. The potential for abuse is astronomical. Let’s hope we have fought for a massive shift in consciousness before this comes to full fruition, right?
If I needed a chip in my head to function in society, I think I would just withdraw from society. I’m barely comfortable with our reliance on smartphones and internet connection in our day to day lives.
Absolutely. This is the only social media I use, cause i get really good stipulation here, otherwise I ignore my phone and have largely cut a lot of the b s out of my life. I’m a recluse by nature, so I feel you all the way.
Based on how many monkeys Elon has killed, I’m not sure he’ll have too many volunteers.
Came across the concept of Transhumanism a number of years ago in an English class on futuristic literature. Charles Stross’s Accelerando was the main text. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhumanism
natural selection at work
They’re constructed hierarchy not natural (That hints that someone didn’t want to be the fuckup alone & created a destructive system for everyone) otherwise we would be living in a socialist utopia.
I invite everyone to listen to this episode, The history of humanity with Christopher Knight https://www.historicly.net/p/the-history-of-humanity-with-christopher
Deus Ex Human Revolution was such a nice game
What other proof do you need to realize that it ends badly? The recent cases of Ransomware don’t worry you at all?
Despite Elon being insane, the idea of brain-computer interfaces could be really great. I’m thinking of people with disabilities or debilitating injuries. This could enable prosthetics with full dexterity that you can control. It could be life changing for some people.
I don’t know if that is the first thing Elon is aiming for, but any breakthroughs in the technology that could lead to it becoming a legitimate option to improve people’s lives, I think would be a good thing.
I imagine everyone in the space except elon is thinking about the positive benefits and Elon is thinking about a giant spinning dollar sign while Baby Elephant Walk plays on repeat.
After that is a subscription for you to use your legs.
This has already enabled corporations to force people to go under surgery to remove senses or limbs that had already been restored. With this technology, your body autonomy is now live service.
You have been banned for hate speech reason “@libsoftiktok YOU ARE A HORRIBLE PERSON AND NEED TO DIE, YOU LAUGH AT QUEER PEOPLE DYING” Self termination in 3, 2, 1!
Considering the person spearheading this, it seems like the opposite might be the result.
Ive gotten suspended for calling out libs of tiktok before, keep in mind libs of tiktok has laughed at the deaths of queer people
Now this really would be cancel culture going too far🤣
Fox Viewers: ‘Don’t get vaccinated because there are brain controlling microchips hidden in the jab.’ Also Fox Viewers: ‘I can’t wait to get one of Elon’s brain chips to own the libs!’
Given musk (with no cave diving experience) called the expert cave diver a pedo when he was told the sub was useless, threw an obviously annoying sign on the roof, started a stupid tunnelling company which would have taken 3 mins of market research to realise won’t work in reality… I hate to think what crap ideas he contributed to the researchers.
The only people who should even remotely consider it, are people who are terminal and who get paid millions by musk
