Can’t wait for adverts for the ass blaster 9000® to be beamed directly into my frontal lobe without my consent.
That’s a hell of a faustian bargain, good luck with that.
I’ve been evangelising for smart glasses for years. But even if they get the functionality I’ve been hoping for I’m still not going to get them, because i don’t want every woman i meet to think I’m secretly recording her tits
There’s no way I’m letting Elon musk do brain surgery on me to harvest my thoughts
What functionality are you looking for? Most I can think of is gimmicky at best.
Would be interested even in gimmicky use cases.
So many people are already functionally hooked up, even if it is happening through their eyes and not a direct wire. Prove me wrong, everybody: don’t touch any of your devices for a week. It’s nigh unthinkable now but I remember times when the internet didn’t exist, cell phones didn’t exist, I had no cable TV, no game console, and would only turn on my little black and white Mac to write a paper for school. We listened to music a lot, socialized in person, smoked a lot of… various things, had a lot of sex. It’s a rather poor trade we’ve made if you ask me.
I yearn to go back to the days when a 2 minute lapse in focus/interest didn’t subconsciously send me reaching for my phone.
I know. My weakness isn’t necessarily waiting time, but time spent on dull work like housework. My brains starts going “BOORRING!”
Too bad I can’t trust either the competence or intent of those with resources to create brain chips. Sorry teenaged me that desperately wanted true VR, but I’ll probably decline it even if it becomes a thing.
I don’t think I would even trust an open source version that I fully control. Either it would be a pain in the ass to maintain it or it would eventually have some major vuln discovered and lead to people being hacked. Too risky.
How anyone could trust them at this point blows my mind, outside of people who need a fucking hail mary like those with neurological disorders.
Idk. I don’t know if I’ll be able to stop from being a bigot towards people who get chips in their brain. Like I simply do not think I will be capable of holding my tongue. Again, unless the chip is literally the only reason they can live a normal life, those people shouldn’t be treated like people.
We could be granting everyone in the world a high standard of living but instead we’re going to charge them to self-induce early onset neurodegenerative disease.
“This shit ain’t nothing to me, man.”
yes doomers they’re coming for you doomers …
just because you’re paranoid …
bwahahahahahaaaaaa …
No, I don’t think I will
The worst parts of Severance + Pluribus
These people need to be stopped. Seriously.
Just like we all ran out and bought 3D TVs. Right? And Meta smart glasses. Any day now!
The fuck I will. Unless they change the definition of ‘give in’ to ‘die’ then they don’t know shit. I don’t want them in my PHONE, let alone my FUCKING HEAD. I think about them too much as is.
‘Die’ when you are locked out of society because everything will need brainchips as a key, and you starve if you can’t afford brainmoney transactions
and you starve
That’s why “eat the rich” is a thing.
Let me put a chip in my brain that will run software developed by the lowest paid intern using claude 7. I dont trust big corp to update my phone and car, there is zero chance i trust them with my brain.
I won’t even get contact lenses, I ain’t letting them putting a chip in my brain.
