if you're an early adopter of an Elon Musk product you deserve to have your brain fried.

I mean, if I were old as gently caress and suddenly went blind or got paralysed or something sign me the gently caress up. But lmao if you sign up as a relatively healthy person with plenty of non hosed up life ahead of you.

All this talk about cyborg stuff reminds me of a very important article on living as a cyborg.

chairface posted:Pretty hesitant to sign onto early adoption of brain cybernetics but in terms of replacement limbs, holy poo poo I'd like it if more than my left arm worked properly. These things aren't even 40 years old yet. Is there no goddamn warranty on these meatsacks? Having a knee and wrist that aren't in constant dull background pain for the rest of my life sounds kinda nice, sign me up

they'll make neuro-link implants function as useful pain relief and quality-of-life enhancement devices just as soon as they have the intrusive and unskippable advertisement functionality up and running because that's obviously what their primary purpose is

QR code tattooed under my arm that makes your bionics automatically load an audiobook of The Eye of Argon that cannot be paused or stopped edit: accidentally bricking my brain computer trying to jailbreak it so I can use it after it's obsolete but before I can afford the new model

One of the more prescient (and horrifying) bits in Neil Stephenson's The Diamond Age is a throwaway line about a court stenographer wearing AR-type goggles to do stuff. He mentions that this is the first-gen AR tool; second-gen was eyeball implants, which lasted as long as it took for hackers to take them over and blast porn pop-ups directly into your brain, at which point they went back to the goggles that you could, y'know, stop using

strange feelings re Daisy posted:That's correct. Musk has explicitly said that he is a Culture fan and that his device is inspired by neural laces. He also gives his SpaceX ships Culture inspired names. It's very weird. The Culture is a form of late stage communism but Musk is a billionaire union buster.

mystes posted:But he tweeted that he was a socialist once. Are you calling musky a liar? I think he’s socialist in that, once all his conditions are met (capitalism pushes us into a technological singularity where everything is done with Science Magic and money is meaningless) he will support not hoarding resources, mainly since it will no longer make sense to do so when the air is full of nanomachines that print you a banana or a race car when you think about wanting one, and also the AI overlords won’t let him.
