      It seems obvious because there are no obvious upsides to it. One of the scenarios in sci-fic is, the people with enhancements out-compete non-enhanced people, making it hard not to get one if you can afford it. You, of course, can never trust the likes of Musk and Zuck to put such things in your head, but would you have any viable/attractive choices when such a scenario pans out? Easy life vs. hard but free life.

      An analogous example nowadays is, would you take steroids to compete as a pro athlete if you can get away with it, even with all its downsides?

      It really is. It seems so straight forward and obvious.

      Nice to have authorities being premature instead of late as usual. Plus education require time, so you can’t warn people too soon I believe.

        It was so embarrassing watching the dinosaurs running the US government interview Zuck over privacy when they had no idea how Facebook as a business worked. We really need a tech task force that consists of people who are computer-literate.

      Autism-fueled oversharing for me! \o/

    Okay, but if it lets me start my coffee maker by just thinking about it, I don’t see a down side.

      Sure, you’ll get that… Along with ads for coffee subscriptions.

      This was exactly where my mind went.

      Like… sure. I can see the merit of an article titled “Top 10 reasons not to drive your spaceship through a star.” But I think we’re a bit far off from that. 😆

    Yeah thanks for the warning. I was about to put a computer chip in my brain with no concerns about privacy.

    Always use adblock, dns filter and malware scanners. Also check your privacy settings regularly and inspect network traffic to your “Smart Brain” (I just invented the term).

    I imagine scenarios where you can’t get rid of annoying advertisements everywhere, even in your dreams. Or people being remote controlled. Or their bank accounts emptied.

    However, this currently is just science fiction.

    I could see that. Implanting AI chips in your brain doesn’t seem like a great idea.

    GrapheneOS for brain should be coming in a few decades, eh?

    I can’t even imagine this being something you’d want to do. Sounds terrifying!

    What about cyberpsychosis? That’s a real concern in 2077 as far as I have been informed.

    Imagine you early adopted Neuralink before Edolf went mask off and then introduced ads and now all you hear all day long is Kanyes voice chanting: “Elon macht frei.”
