When Science and Tech Go too Far - Would You Get a Brain Implant?

[uk1000]

Rural Georgia may be your only chance to save your future kids … But don’t discount the Paris sewers, in case chip-antagonistic but internet-friendly dissidents decide to make rural Georgia their location d’être, we’ll have jamming transmitters and work offline and go up to send deliveries from Starbucks like any good freelancer does. Or discobot can do that for us.

Techradar has an article that announces more, much more magic ahead regarding giving us a hand with shopping tips:

Following the feeding frenzy of Amazon Prime Day, Google has debuted its new shopping platform to lure customers with personalized recommendations. The tool is now live in the US, and will welcome you by name and show tailored suggestions if you’re logged in with your Google account.

Google has previously insisted that it has no intention of becoming a retailer, but the new shopping portal puts it in clear competition with Amazon.

Resistance is futile. But we can try. What doesn’t, and so on.

It’s interesting, however, that most people here seem not quite ready for a neuralink yet, although gig economy freelancers probably would be assumed early adopters. Internet and freelancers - amour fou.

It will probably be safer to wait a while for anyone who wants it. Assuming it works. The people who wait will get the better tech (though if/when it works, waiting too long might leave some behind technologically). eg. future versions will probably be smaller and maybe be less risky (maybe nano tech will be safer). But it will still be risky and might/probably will cause damage like has been said. Also waiting would help determine long term health risks caused by it.

There was a recent similar sort of news article about a man who got his sight restored through a brain implant that passed images through a camera in glasses he wore that passed the images to the back of the brain I think where there was a chip implanted, bypassing the eyes completely. Though that version didn’t allow for reading signs etc. due to too low res and it also wasn’t in colour. Future ones will be higher resolution so for things like that it might be better to wait if needed (since upgrading to a new chip implant would need further surgery which would also be risky and may cause damage).
