    When Elon Musk tortures monkeys to death with brain chips it’s innovation, but when China does it it’s “controversial” and “concerning”

      NGL I think it should all brain chips should fall under “concerning” and “controversial”

      The artificial eyes that existed in the past come to mind.

      For those unfamiliar, when the companies that made them went under support for the devices vanished and the people who got them were left with broken and defunct hardware still stuck in their heads

        Which is why I beleive companies making medical hardware should be forced to open source the firmware and software as well as document how the hardware works and have it be open to the public in a read only mode while qualified people can make updates to the software and firmware

          That requires a functional Congress, which is really only achieved by getting rid of the GOP disease in all three branches.

        Most people in our social circles. Trust me, I spoke with random people about Musk and his brain chips and they thought he was a genius. Elon’s tech is years behind the research he stole the ideas from.

    What do I care for your suffering? Pain, even agony, is no more than information before the senses, data fed to the computer of the mind. The lesson is simple: you have received the information, now act on it. Take control of the input and you shall become master of the output

      The Warrior’s bland acronym, MMI, obscures the true horror of this monstrosity. Its inventors promise a new era of genius, but meanwhile unscrupulous power brokers use its forcible installation to violate the sanctity of unwilling human minds. They are creating their own private army of demons.
