A brain implant could be a solution for people with brain damage or born deficits that help them regain lost abilities.
I would never have one implanted as a luxury gadget though.
I might get an implant from a responsible company
Musk is a lot of things, he is a liar scammer, an outright asshole, an incompetent idiot... but he's never been responsible.
What's a "responsible company"? Any public company could become irresponsible overnight if and when the shareholders demand it.
Took the words right out of my mouth! 👍
For one, probably a company without public shareholders. For two, a company that runs under very strict government rules
I would, but not in the early development phase.
I don't trust some billionaire with a direct interface into my neural abilities. I know Musk had no problems using his satilites to sabotage Ukraine's army to appease Putin.
True, but if/once it gets mainstream and has matured enough, and proper regulations are in place, I bet it can be a nifty tool.
