He should be an example and do it himself.
Yeah that’s not going to happen.
We can dream
Not if that brain chip malfunctions.
How would that be worse than the infant idiot we deal with now?
Stay away from sketchy chips, choom. They can fuck you up real good.
How crazy would it be tho if we found out he really was an early adopter, had one put it in a decade ago, and that’s why he’s so bat shit now?
Did kanye west get one too?
He absolutely will. Granted it’ll be after all the little kinks like meningitis, aluminum poisoning, spontaneous ignition, malicious hacking, eternal nightmare states, blindness, cancer, and cluster headaches are ironed out. 90% death rate, babyyy
He should do the same with “flying to Mars” first.
Both at the same time
Day 1 after implantation: this is great! I now have photographic memory of everything! Best decision ever.
Day 20: I’ve memorized so much so fast, I’m going to have to go for the next higher up subscription level to unlock more storage.
Day 200: I’m running out of space again. Going for the plus subscription.
Day 600: ran out of storage space again. I can’t afford the next higher subscription. I’m going to have to start deleting unnecessary memories. My brain has lost its natural ability to make and retain memories by itself. I can’t even function on a daily basis without free storage space.
Day 700: I have run out of memories that I’m willing to part away with. I still can’t afford the higher subscription. Luckily there is a cheaper tier. All I have to do is give NeuraLink full access and rights over my memories for marketing and AI training purposes.
Day 900: They have increased the cost of subscription. I can’t afford it. I’m going to lose half of my storage space. I have two days to choose which of my memories to keep. The rest will be no longer accessible to me, but will still be used by Neuralink for their own purposes as they own those memories now.
Day 1200: the chip will no longer be supported next month. I can’t afford the new model. It will be disabled in 30 days.
Day 1235: I have just found this diary. It explains a lot. I only wished it told me what my name is.
You forgot the part where you agreed to let them harvest your organs if you fail to pay your subscription fees.
Also, suddenly you’re unable to say negative things about Elon Musk for some reason.
Well done, do you write for work/hobby?
Nah, I’m just a bored guy on the internet
Well kudos bored guy on the internet. It was a riveting read.
So the plot of Johnny Mnemonic?
Well I’d like to implant my foot in his ass so….
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If he doesn’t go first no nation should allow it. Dude is a fraud.
Are you a bot?
No, you?
I mean I can certainly understand where the confusion may have come from.
Oh that’s weird, no idea, thanks 🤣
Yeah skimming it very briefly, it looks like your instance doesn’t even show bot indicators, so, no way you could’ve known really. But there should be a button to turn it off somewhere in your user settings, probably down near the bottom.
I don’t have a “bot account” indicator, so … no. Though I have been confused for one.
Sorry, no idea why it says that but I’m pretty new to lemmy so it’s probably something I did, I’ll look into it
Sorry I snapped at you, being mistaken for ai or bots is a sore spot for me
The only dipshits stupid enough to get Musk implants will be the same dipshits who think vaccines have mind-control trackers.
You say that as if there aren’t a ridiculous amount of those people.
Another weird thing that Conservatives want to do.
With his ethics there’s no way I’d let any company controlled by him attach itself to my brain.
I have a hard time imagining that for any profit driven corporation, but most especially him.
Let’s give him a chip and watch for the next 5+ years how it goes, then decide how to go on.
Maybe that’s what we watched for the last 5 years?
Ah, that explains it. ;-p
I bet this evil fuck has all kinds of patents around this idea so when someone who isn’t a psychopath James Bond villain wants to help people with disabilities by developing a similar device…they won’t be able to.
They’re injecting microchips! Said no antivaxx about this ever.
Godspeed to all the brain dead idiots who will sign up for this, and will become even more literally brain dead after getting the implant.
I really don’t understand why anyone is giving that goofball a platform.
I do not get how this asshole gets approved for this when he can’t even make a car correctly.
$$$$$$
Elon wants to make more money. One of the ways he can envision making more money is selling brain implants and the procedure to install them
The thing he seems to have forgotten is that unlike the automotive industry where the regulation is designed to allow companies to fuck up then fix things as long as they have the systems in place to fix the fuck up and to know when they fucked up, the medical device industry is very much designed so that the default stance is “this is dangerous and will kill people” unless you can prove otherwise
I thought the default stance was to leave people in life crippling debt for having the audacity to use the hospital.
Only in the States.
