I knew this would be unpopular when I posted it but idgaf. Everyone thinks they would take a stand and yadayadayada. Meanwhile, 99% of us will willingly adopt whatever popular tech comes out. It’s happened before: it will happen again.

    Get the chip, hack it, re-implement it on top of a librebooted x200 and wear that as a hat

    Think about it like this. If Microsoft didn’t try every hook and crook to stuff Edge up your ass it would be a decent web browser and it wouldn’t hurt me to use it.

    I hate Edge because it’s shoved down my throat, not because of the browser itself.

    If neuralink or whatever takes its place becomes good and isn’t forced on us, it might be worth considering.

    I love how quickly the “take the red pill” bros took the blue pill because some billionaire hates gays as much as them

    Actually, the number of monkeys they tested the chip on, who got their brains fried, is 100%. So I’ll take the blue pill and watch people die.

  • I feel like this would be more like that episode of TNG where everyone gets addicted to that crappy video game and the implant itself will take control of everyone who has the implant to forcibly give the implant to those who don’t.

      It’s Elon, so more like the head buckets on that episode of SpongeBob but implemented very badly.

    no, elon musk will get fucked because of all the false advertising and probably other crap he did, before the brain chip is even close to being finished.
