Did you know that smart chastity belts have been hacked in the past?
I’m less worried about hackers than having major corporations have unabated access to stream whatever they want to your brain.
Imagine to have to watch ads to access your brain music stream or ads while dreaming like Futurama predicted.
Are you tired of dreaming about advertisements? Then get the new AdBlockPillow! For just 99.99 a month it blocks all incoming Advertisements while you sleep!
And then an army of shills will tell you that blocking ads in dreams is theft.
Oh I can already see them: “businesses need to make money! Free market will regulate everything so it will be very fair!” I wonder if there is a corpo shill bullshit generator out there
Not specialised in shilling, but there’s a corporate speech bullshit generator
GoogleTeslaMetaCokacolaSoft would try to roll out an ad blocker blocker and fry a few dozen brains in a third world country before letting you sleep ad free.
yo if they make the dream ads fun and what not sign me up.
drop me in a geico ad i swear

People will never want chips installed in their brain. There’s just too many scifi movies showing why that’s a bad idea and the tech industry keeps completely ignoring the message and try to make it into a reality.
I’d hope that’s the case, but I mean, look at artificial intelligence. People are widely adapting that even though theres proof that its going to replace tons of jobs in the near future.
But hey, “ooh shiny technology”
Replacing jobs would be considered an immense public good in any sensible economy. Unfortunately, capitalism makes it so you die if nobody needs you to work. Nobody needing you to work is logically a GOOD thing! Why are people being punished for it??
My point exactly.
I hope you are right. I agree, I don’t think I’d ever want one, but one can never know what technology will be available in a couple decades- I’m afraid at some point people will eventually find it enticing and before that, there’s always idiots who would just because.

and if you want to stop it you need to pay $9.99/month
At first. Then within a couple of years they will no longer offer a free version, and even those who pay will be forced to do whatever privacy invading garbage they push (as you say, can’t take it out - the epitome of “captive audience”).
with what this man did to twitter, i aint allowing him anywhere near my brain
Especially after the thing with the monkeys…
I was extremely excited about Neuralink, and the premise is so fascinating, but this clown is out to fucking ruin it for everyone.
The trouble with all these technologies is that on paper they’re super exciting, but honestly name one company in existence today you’d actually trust enough to purchase it from?
Idk about you, but I can’t think of any, and I wouldn’t trust my govt to handle it either tbh
If course not.
Ideally it would all be FLOSS and run by a non-profit, with a focus on health and transparency.
I want to see it in his brain first.
Then, we need like thousands of actual skilled hackers to find every tiny security floor.
Maybe see what can be done. Like, maybe, coyod it trigger pain? Maybe sleep paralysis?
I mean. It’s all electricity, right? Ooh, maybe see if it can be over locked yo a point where it burns out.
Maybe you already are…
You mean you guys don’t constantly have music playing in your head anyway?

A continuous never-ending note could be considered music if you wanted it to.

Good thing I have getting used to it
Oh you definitely get used to it, you just randomly start hearing what you think is an old pay phone.
If I don’t constantly have music or podcasts playing I might be able to hear my inner demons.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the same people who are now excited about this chip are the same people who believe in conspiracy theories like the government controlling their brains and chips in vaccines.

excuse me, smart what
here ya go
but why tho
BDSM
People will put IoT into everything, no exceptions. Did you really think it would stop at thermostats and surveillance cameras?
The internet of shit has no limits
Literally. Add “smart” or “connected” to any manufactured object you can think of, someone tried to pitch it. I just tried it with “smart toilet paper” and then “connected mug”. Both exist.
There are some people who get real horny for not cumming
You know those hackers aren’t ever gonna give you up.
Never gonna let you down either
you can already stream music to your brain through your fucking ears
I’ve only got normal ears, unless you’re talking about what I do with q-tips…
lol
This makes no sense. Isn’t hearing music exactly the same thing? Also, your brain can’t hear music. This is just stupid. Plus this psychopath destroyed numerous test animals in order for them to be able to do this.
The one that made me sad was the monkey that just sat with it’s face pressed into the floor because the chip had made its brain infected and it didn’t know how to deal with the pain, poor bastard.
Yes, and hackers have been rick rolling people over the internet for a while now.
It is possible by stimulating your “hearing nerv” in the same way happening when you actually hear something.
I’m not even worried about hacking. I’d be more concerned about the “legitimate” mandatory advertising direct to your brain!

You can do that? I mean, actually yeah I do feel like a large big mac meal right now.
I’d be hacking the fucker myself to side load an ad blocker.

Hello all my neuralink users, I’d like to tell you all about why trans people are evil for making my wife leave me and my daughter hate billionaires. But first, a word from our sponsor, Raid Shadow Legends.

It’s cellular. Modular. Implanted-in-your-brain-odular!
I guess your brain implant will probably kill you before the end of your favourite playlist. Just like all those test animals.
Lightspeed fits today’s active lifestyle. Whether you’re on the job … or having fun. Lightspeed briefs, style and comfort for the discriminating crotch.
Objects in mirror less attractive than they appear.
Not gonna happen. But if it does it will probably be like Youtube and Spotify so prepare to hear ads in your brain if you don’t have the premium subscription.

Ads straight to your mind every 1 minute
Yup. Ads are a way for corporations to steal your life from you, 2-5 minutes at a time.
Bah, amateur. Ads are unreliable and fickle; why leave the effectiveness up to chance when you could just use the implant to create a compulsion to buy a Tesla?
