This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Elon Musk wants to do a great many things he can go cram up his butt and twist hard.
I have a couple former coworker friends who slob this dude's knob all the time. One of em is staunch anti-govt (but loves his orange dictator obviously) and refuses flu shots from work every year because according to his this year is the year they start micro-chipping people.
Both of em would be the first in line for musk's chip
Ok now the "number of the beast" types are starting to sound a lot more logical somehow...
Make him the first
PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE
With their consens?
Yes
... for now.
Of course, bad things happen only to those who dont consent.
That is the only way i can see him getting his way with this
Why can this loser fart in an elevator and it warrants an article?
And why are so many engaged to the point, including government, that they will listen to that? Like abandoning highspeed rail in favor of hyperloop?
Like what the fuck is going on?
Like abandoning highspeed rail in favor of hyperloop?
They wanted to do that and he gave them the excuse.
See, that's how this works.
Like it or not, when the richest man in the world wants to do something big. even if bad, it is worth it to report on it instead of quietely allowing him to do it.
Just stop him, remove all his government contracts, and never allow him anywhere near anything of value. And when he does something stupid, report it honestly. With all his current fuckups.
He's rich and says controversial things.... that's about it
I'd send them via hyperloop if that was even real
Are those compatible with my COVID vaccine Bill Gates microchip?
What in the hell are people with brain implants going to do when they stop supporting their hardware or keep additional features behind a paywall. People would be forced to pay whatever the company wanted.
This is ripe for human rights abuse on a level we have never seen before. Imagine being locked out of your own body. Without important safety guards and laws to protect people it would surely cause untold suffering.
Well, one can design and make and test implants that'll still work 50 years after there's no more Elon.
But! Today's "progress" is about increasing functionality and performance, not reliability. And such implants will be made only when there's taboo on unreliable stuff in such critical areas in 3 different dimensions - company getting murdered legally is the first, its management getting murdered physically is the second, nobody in their right mind buying such is the third.
Even better way to enslave people than tying basic things like food, water and shelter to money and controlling how to get money. You will have to pay anything you are told or you will die and/or suffer. Try to rebel in any way and its kill or pain switch for you or refusal of service if its too early for that.
Its scary how this doesnt sound as crazy as it should
Either that, or just straight up obsolescence like what happened with some bionic vision aids
Just stops working one day, or eventually an exploit will drop that will never end up patched because the company folded. or due to planned force-upgrade
How do you even exploit a bionic eye, it should just DAP the picture.
"include streaming music directly to the brain"
Music is misspelled. It's ads, not music.
It's called a jingle and it's catchy
And an earworm.
Him first
Lol, hard FUCKING pass
can we implant them all in elon instead
Straight up his ass, via a boot?
As it requires going inside me, i wound never use it regardless of what it can do.
-my wife when I pitched the idea of get some toys for sexy time-
Elon musk: is inventing brain chips
People: oh okay.
Elon musk: wants people to use them
People:
"business wants to sell lots of products" fucking duh who cares.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution was not a manual, Elon
And we won't be the cool protagonist with sleek looking augs and doing parkour with Icarus either. We'll be the ones hooked on neuropozyne hoping for our implants not going haywire at some point.
You first Ketamusk.
Pretty sure Elon musk also wants to hangout at Epstein's Island again for intercourse with minors.
Musk wanting it is more than enough reason for me to want to avoid it like the plague.
Not that I would want any sort of brain implant anyway, but Musk being involved make it even less desirable than it already was.
What is really scary to me is that many people dont see billionaires as they are, especially since they want to be rich themselves and likely look up to them like some twisted rolemodels.
Ultimately, we are at the mercy of the masses and those masses are somewhat controlled by few people. If somehow people want to start using those implants, those who dont want to will be pressured to get one too.
Made by the same guy who brought you the cyber truck , yeah, I'll pass
To be fair, I don't think he was really involved in the development of that thing other than the original idea maybe. But, to be fair, that original idea was probably even worse than the finished product.
After COVID we have to retire "avoid like the plague". Too many people were happy to go to plague gatherings.
Too many people were happy to go to plague gatherings.
I also avoid the types of people who would intentionally do something that idiotic.
Yeah, nah. I see less Night City and more…permanent night city in that were all blind and/or dead. Although maybe the rampant all-powerful capitalism of the cyberpunk lore would still happen.
And millions of people want Elon Musk to get one himself.
