Idk if this is the right instance for this, but how fucking tired of these forced ads at gas pumps is everyone else?
I’m paying 4 bucks a gallon to have you shove advertising down my throat like an erect cock?
What the actual fuck
Anyone have any good ad blocking practices for this?
I’ve seen duct or painters tape covering the speakers…
You can press a button next to the screen to mute it, but this doesn’t work at all gas stations. (Usually its the 2nd from the top on the right side)
I guess its just time to gettoblast music every time I pump gas like back when I was 19…

The version of Neuralink we can afford will be ad supported.
Only at first.
Then every version will be ad-supported.
I’ll just wait until Neuralink gets ReVanced.
The brain implant will be more like “adplus” of it ever catches on. I guarantee it.

I have a feeling that Surgeons will be made to sign contracts instructing them to refuse BYOC (bring/build your own chip) implants.
Otherwise, just make your own chip. You decide the materials, you decide the process. You decide each and every part (alright, maybe just as much as you can fathom) of the circuit.
You decide how powerful the feedback is and what functions it provides. So you are not paying for the risk of features other than the ones you want.
I feel like there’s very few people who could design and build their own brain implant chip. Even in the far future
I feel like if (the de-techification of general public doesn’t take place in the future) && (I were to be born in the future); then
I would probably giving free chip-design customisation services to friends and family, using some open source chip design as a base.
But then again, there’s already a very few number of ppl like me…
It’s just not something you can do in your garage these days (or for the past few decades), even if the designs were open sourced. I like your idea and wish there was less concentrated power in chip manufacturing, I just don’t think it’s very feasible.
Well, designing and manufacturing are 2 different things.
You’re right as in we will still have to rely on some Workshop having a million dollar fabrication setup with at least half a dozen experts working, to do the manufacturing part.
Furthermore, said setup will have to be optimised not for scale (as in workshop mode and not assembly line mode), focusing on getting one-shot success rather than mass-manufacturing and getting yield %ages. So, we won’t really benefit from things like Intel opening up their fabs, since they still expect a bulk order.
We still always have FPGAs.
Just need one with an open source VHDL compiler.
Surgeons already aren’t allowed to put non FDA approved things in you. You would go to a tattoo/piercing shop for that sort of thing.
Ooh, that would be hard.
Now you would have to make sure that the tattoo guy has enough time and drive to put the effort into understanding your custom chip design and know which probe to connect to which neuron.
I mean… It’s Las Vegas. You don’t go to Vegas expecting a vacation experience free from the perverse corruption of money.
