Honest question: Seeing the current state of Elon's FSD "beta", the continued -and missed - promises, etc ...

... would I want to plug an "Elon-brand" implant into my brain? :/


Resistance is futile

Honestly the idea of people around me having brain implants is concerning, but I am cynical and have reasons to distrust tech companies. That said, for people with brain damage that affects their every aspect of life, happiness, ability to participate in society, I completely understand the need to make such a thing and the desire to use it. I really hope the companies making brain implants take security seriously and don't sell out to those that would want to spy on or manipulate those with the implants.


> companies making brain implants take security seriously and don't sell out to those that would want to spy on or manipulate those with the implants.

If the current state of tech vs. security + privacy + societal priorities is any indication (ask Zuck, et al.) ...

... we cannot be too hopeful on that front.-
