We are currently helping people with this sort of tech
which people, which tech, and where?

Ohh...eh.
2019 left me with the impression Starfish was wireless.
Sticking stuff into my brain isn't on my to-do list.

So, you are reading things I didn't write. I'm not defending him about steam games etc... The only good will here about any of it is the work toward better Linux life.
I agree billionaires shouldn't exist.
I don't like steam.
I don't really do much gaming... And it's worth stuff from GOG.
Chill out. I'm not the fanboi you are looking for.
I'm only saying perhaps he sees $$$ in a venture that is rife with much worse people doing far worse to vulnerable people.
On the off chance better access comes about from rich assholes eating each other, I'm game to at least watch.
First step to getting away with shithead behavior is convincing a group, any group (but preferrably one marginalized), that you're representing them.
Idk, there are tons of good things that have happened from rich people doing stuff. Hell, that's the reason medicine progressed — if nobles weren't terrified of dying, who knows how long it would have taken to figure out that bloodletting with leeches doesn't work?
I don't think I need to point out all the bad things that have happened because of the rich.

The article does not mention paraplegia.
Why does it have to? All current bci's are designed for the disabled, why would this one be an exception?

the only way, and I mean the ONLY way I'll put hardware in my brain is if I have resurrection level support like in Altered Carbon.
the fear of losing my outward identity over the ability to live forever is worth losing.
I wonder how often you have to back up in case you need a reboot.

Billionaires either inherit their money or get it by being an asshole. Being nice doesn’t make people billionaires.
The billionaires today have an opportunity to eliminate world hunger yet they don't. Instead, they fly rocketships, sail on giant yachts and buy island compounds or towns in Texas. So yeah, No one at that RB club is going to win a Nobel Peace Prize. They all suck.

It's exactly like AI. Could the technology be useful were it to be used in service of goals that would serve humanity? Absolutely. Will it be used by billionaires in a way that will be harmful to most people in order to further entrench their power? Most definitely.
Like everything else, it will be come enshittified and we will be living in the Johnny Mneumonic world.

So regulate the uses of the technology. Don't ban it outright.
Those companies are doing their manipulation currently by using the Internet and social media, should the Internet and social media be banned outright? We're using social media to discuss this right now, that discussion should be suppressed?
Technology and social media are entirely under regulated with basically no privacy restrictions. Look what DOGE has done to the entire American Federal agencies.. "Read-Only"-- As If. They just pirated all our information.

It is sort of funny how the idea that humanity would wipe itself out used to be a worst case scenario and now it is one of the more comforting options.
I am siding with the zombies in that apocalypse.

If I lived in, say, Iain Banks's post-scarcity anarcho-communist utopia The Culture, I'd get a neural lace in a heartbeat. But living in this capitalist dystopia that most of us does, I don't trust corporations to not use this sort of technology for domination over the populace.
For perspectives on how it might go (general vibes, not the same technology) I recommend HYPER-REALITY (6 mins short film) or David Brin's Existence novel.
Not "The Matrix" -- we will just serve as batteries for someone's AI or Crypto farm while having/living in lucid dreams?

The fact that most people would obviously never want to get a brain chip implant, combined with the fact that multiple billionaires are developing brain chip implants, indicates that there are plans in some circles to incentivize or coerce people into getting a brain chip implant at some point in the future.

Another problem is abandonment. When the company goes under or the device becomes outdated and they no longer want to support it the device can't be easily removed. If the device was fixing a disability, the person's disability will be reinstated.
Like "Unauthorized Toast"... with all the DRM laws, we could get arrested and charged with a felony for trying to repair ourselves.

Beyond expanding the brain’s functions it can fix things like some forms of blindness
The CRISPR technology is more advanced than brain implants.

But imagine how easy it would be to
track youserve you more personalised ads.We have all been "convinced" to carry tracking devices with us everywhere we go. Way cheaper than a brain implant.

oh sorry just open up my asshole then
I'm not sure that that's the optimal route to the brain. I'm not a brain doctor though, for all I know suppository-style brain chips are the way to go.

I didn't know they were doing brainchips. I trust Gabe with it way more than fElon, for sure.

The only condition under which I wouid ever consider getting a neural implant, is if the implant and its software is open source.
Any closed source thing you stick in your brain will ultimately doom you.
Besides that, there'd also actually have to be a purpose. As it stands now, cybernetics isn't advanced enough to turn me into a full cyborg, so probably never in my lifetime.

What if you were going to die but you could live indefinitely if you got the implant? Would an incentive like that interest you?

He’ll only be able to make the first prototype, and then a second. He will never make it to 3.
He’ll make a few versions:
- Brain Chip
- Brain Chip Army
- Brain Chip Police
- Brain Chip 2
- Brain Chip 2 Coastal Vacation
- Brain Chip 2.1
- Brain Chip 2.2
- Brain Chip 2 VR
Will never make it to 3 though.
