I'd probably be a slow adopter tbh. Feel like you would wany such a chip to be quite trustworthy and reliabld. Proprietary software and hardware is not the most trustworthy thing in the world...
Usually I am an earlier adopter of tech because I'm interested in technology, and I have money to burn. But I don't need a brain chip, I'm weird enough already without having to debug my own head.
"Yes honey, I'm coming. Just one more thing to compile in my head"
Segmentation faultCan I run Linux on it? Or better yet Gentoo? "You having a headache?" "Just compiling the system. Lending some brain power"

"I was completely wrong about this technology! Valve Mindtap is the best thing ever!"

It would need to become a platform and standard unto itself.
Which is to say, I'm not installing one until I can flash the firmware myself.
