It’s not like we don’t know the playbook already.

Now you know brain implants will be used as an authentication system, to protect the children, prevent spam, and maybe they’ll manage to add something about terrorism in the justification.
And your employment history, financial status, known associates, voter record, you get the idea.
“You’ll eventually give in” Tells you everything you need to know about the power of large tech companies in the US .
We have the money and the power to force this technology in to the mainstream. Tech companies know that Congress is way too old, way too corrupt, and way too slow to really do anything about regulating stuff like this in a reasonable time frame. They have no real barriers and the heads of these companies don’t give a shit about the user as long as they pay their monthly subscription.
I don’t trust these ghouls to pour me a glass of water, they won’t get anywhere near my body
So creeps like Zuck can upload their LLM conscience into my brain? No thank you.
… Actually, that would make a great horror movie.
We will all carry our “papers” around in our bodies.
knows you’ll give in eventually
No, I bloody will not.
Yeah, I resisted mobile phones until about 1999, and didn’t get a “smartphone” until 2014. I was quite the Luddite.
I still don’t play mobile games. I thought it was going to be a great opportunity but all the games sucked and I didn’t like the interface.
The choice between the chip and a bullet?
Dont expect everyone to sit idly by for either option.
could we just like - tactically nuke them?
No need, at least not for several decades. The tech described in the article is millions of times more capable than current working experimental systems. Possible future? yes. Possible within 100 years? maybe. Kind of on the order of a self-sufficient expanding Mars colony of human settlers.
I will never ever… hahaha okay you rascal, ya got me! Now get over here and stick that junk in my head-meat haha
Another tech headline, another thing that would have sounded pretty cool 20-30 years ago but today sounds like an absolute nightmare to stay FAR away from. And this one more than most!
The only way I would ever even consider this is if the firmware was open source and the software to interact with it was open source and it had no direct connection to any sort of network at all and required an external device that I could turn off or on to connect to it an external network. Oh, and the hardware would need to be open source as well.
Yeah, keep fighting the good fight. Keep demanding transparency, accountability, auditability by ANYONE at ANY TIME in ANY DEPTH. Maybe some day. https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/tiltuesday/maybemonday.html
It will be proprietary and cloud based, when you skip a payment you collapse on the floor until a family member signs up for extended warranty.
That’s a hell of a faustian bargain, good luck with that.
I wouldn’t trust these assholes with a rabid viper let alone my own brain
I’ve been evangelising for smart glasses for years. But even if they get the functionality I’ve been hoping for I’m still not going to get them, because i don’t want every woman i meet to think I’m secretly recording her tits
There’s no way I’m letting Elon musk do brain surgery on me to harvest my thoughts
What functionality are you looking for? Most I can think of is gimmicky at best.
Would be interested even in gimmicky use cases.
Oh, plenty of what i want is gimmicky. GIVE ME A HUD!
But i can think of things like overlaying arrows on the environment when getting walking directions, setting reminders by seeing things/people, being able to fully view 3d objects when doing things like identifying something (say a flower you’ve seen) by image
Yeah this usual stuff would be nice but the trade off with privacy and surveillance is not worth the risk IMO. :(
I want a health bar.
People forget about the other genders when it comes to the issues with smart glasses. And kids. Where is the “for the safety of our children” mob, when we need one?

Busy being weaponized against minorities again
A report in Politico details a TED talk in Vancouver last month
Oh so it’s just rambling musings of some self-important CEO rather than any actual declaration of intent.
There are some good TED talks but a lot of them are just hot air.
I feel like the bar is extremely low for TED talks these days. But maybe it has just changed to a financial one instead of an intellectual one.
TED talks have been absolute garbage for years, just corporate shilling and mindless pandering.
Even back in the days when TED talks were good, I remember learning a lot of cool new ideas that they made seem on the verge of tomorrow, that never materialized.
Fuck TED talks.
Even joking about this, should have your dick be shoved in a woodchipper.
