    Yay, now you can pay for sponsorships in a form of schizophrenia. I’d rather have actual schizophrenia, than whatever this is.

    We will welcome hackers!!
    Heroes we will need but won’t deserve.

    Megacorps will stream constant ads directly to your brainhole & cause pain if you don’t consume enough - even a rickroll will be a big improvement from the dystopian reality.

    Like everything that this goon touches, this neuralink shit is a farce. The leads need to be placed very specifically, then they need to not move with brain growth. They move, and fail, and then musk doctors get to open your head up again to reset them. This shit is never going to be viable. With muskrat involved it is certainly to be a grift.

    But, this company synchron has it figured out. No placing leads, no open brain surgery. Outpatient install, and adaptive. Thing becomes part of the vein wall.

    Even if you wanted some proprietary tech installed in your body, it seems like such a terrible idea. What happens when the thing is obsolete? What happens if there is a bug? What happens when Elons team didn’t consider some edge case or basic engineering principles? What is to prevent them from doing something unethical once it is installed?

    Stay out of my brain, thank you very much.

      I would be interested in seeing brain implant with fully open-source firmware that could be flashed securely (as in no wireless updates). I probably wouldn’t use it but I would be more comfortable with supporting it for those with physical disabilities.

    Headphones do all this already. No mind control is a nice little benefit too.

                If anyone past the age of 9 don’t realize that volume controls exist and that it’s good for their hearing to use them, that’s on them. And possibly their parents.

                  I don’t think you’ve met enough humans yet.

                  I think a lot of people can realize how much is too much at once. Far less can recognize how much is too much over a long time period.

                  Idek how people can handle deep diving straight into max volume

                  Gotta finesse it a bit. Gradually go up, until you max it half way through a song you like and decide to restart it

    Nice to see Musk having some real wholesome inspirations.

    What’s next, recreating Torment Nexus from the famous novel “Don’t Create Torment Nexus”? Though Elon brain chips is already Torment Nexus for all the monkeys who lived and died in insane pain in the development process.
