Neuralink planning first human trials within 6 months

I have no issue with becoming a cyborg.
Make this all happen before I am dead, please

 

[Temujin]

Not exactly the best example in swaying people considering the Borg were hated and their complete reliance on cybernetics and perceived superiority because of them, was what made them the hated bad guys.

The federation didn't embrace population wide use of cybernetics, cybernetic implants were only used for the disabled.

Looking at the current state of the woke cult, add to that all the idiots running things and general brain dead half ass service you get everywhere(politicians, government employees etc), I'd wager at least 70% of the population fall into that category

 

[Beyond.Celsus]

that's my concern as well, if cellphones and the internet are bad enough,
now its connected directly into your brain, so many sci fi works on why that's a very bad idea.

Money, Criminal records, risky Behavior, access rights and so much else.
all inside your brain,

were getting closer and closer to a society where everybody is chipped and tagged like cattle,
able to be easily controlled and manipulated on a grand scale.

You are tagged with a number the moment you are born.
Let's not pretend we are not already just cattle being controlled and manipulated

true, but its still not everywhere, or to be accurate not collected efficiently or concisely.
with the Chip implanted into you when you are born, the last vestiges of privacy are falling away.

Yes, it is everywhere.
You literally cannot legally earn a living without an I.D. Number. You can't own any property or a vehicle. You can't register for anything or even leave the country.
You've been tagged and you number need to be scanned through all walks of life.
Like cattle.
It's already been done.
This is a irrational fear of the already inevitable.

Your data has also already been collected and traded every day ten times over.
Privacy is a farce.
No such thing.

I am already cattle.
May as well be comfortable cattle.

up to a point its true, but past that point, its still possible to be a Ghost.
there are people in rural areas with no ID books, who live in a Shack and use somebody else ID book to get by.

not to mention those hermits and privacy nutjobs who fly under the system.

If that's how you want to live your life,
Enjoy.

I think a Healthy distrust of the system is important, as we see everyday how this information is collected,
analyzed and desicions made based on that desicion, and its still possible, however hard to isolate yourself from that system.

One day I will be dead.
I really don't care.

Jack me in.

everybody has a tolerance, at some point youll find what your unwilling to accept.

Meh.
Everything still ends.

 

[AstroTurf]

Where do I sign up?

 

[RedViking]

First "official" human trials.

 

[RedViking]

done with the Monkeys and now time for the Humans already?
isnt there laws about Human testing, and how safe it must be proven before Human trials commence.

And?

 

[RedViking]

When Google implant?

I want that.

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

And?

what if it causes some new Disease, what if it causes brain damage to its users? makes people vegetables?
will there be hush money and cover ups and assassination squads to prevent the truth from coming out.

even today people dont know exactly how the Human brain operates,
and whatever we put into it, how much damage can it cause.

I mean how much further are we from Lobotomizing people?

Oh good... now government can bypass the 1984 Orwellian telescreen and get directly into your head with propaganda.. The end of humanity is now closer by degrees.

They are going under the tinfoil hats now
