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.

Dan did it first!

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 When the company goes under or the device becomes outdated and they no longer want to support it the device can't be easily removed.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.

Why does it have to? All current bci's are designed for the disabled, why would this one be an exception?
So rich people can make money on the hype and sale of a new product to the masses?
you know, like literally everything?

I'd probably be a slow adopter tbh. Feel like you would wany such a chip to be quite trustworthy and reliabld. Proprietary software and hardware is not the most trustworthy thing in the world...
It would need to become a platform and standard unto itself.
Which is to say, I'm not installing one until I can flash the firmware myself.
-
Usually I am an earlier adopter of tech because I'm interested in technology, and I have money to burn. But I don't need a brain chip, I'm weird enough already without having to debug my own head.
three weeks after implant
"I was completely wrong about this technology! Valve Mindtap is the best thing ever!"
eyes stare 1000 yards into the distance while your true consciousness screams to be let out from the dark prison it has been trapped in

There was a time the same was true for Elon Musk, before he suddenly decided to jump the queue. I really hope Gabe isn't going down that path.
Gabe spends a lot of time at sea since the pandemic, and kinda comes off like he has some soft libertarian vibes about self sufficiency and governance.
For me? He's human and rich. It's reason enough to be suspicious.
Would I get it? I won't be first, that's all I know.

So like the black mirror episode Common People

Why would a brain implant allow me to live indefinitely?

Nah, it's GabeN.
Half Life: Alyx Episode 2 will be coming straight into your brain.
it's Gaben
It's a new technology. The product will be bigger than Gabe or Valve and won't take long to become duplicated in function and form, then become commonplace.
Gabe is starting a fire, it may spread and do things against his or anyone's goodwill, Pandora's box.

It’s risk/reward. If brain chips made me twice as productive or intelligent, I’d probably tolerate a lot more risk than if it was just a way to check my Instagram notifications without pulling out my phone.

Productive or intelligent for whose benefit? If it's so that you can perform better under wage labor conditions, that's coercion.
