    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.

          For one, probably a company without public shareholders. For two, a company that runs under very strict government rules

        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.

            Unless you live in a place where the richest buy their own regulations. Then it’s just a race to get the most victims as cheaply as possible for whoever holds the monopoly.
