For me "How long could I get away with driving like an ABSOLUTE ASSHOLE all the time before I lost my licence or had an accident." Speed limits, red lights, stop signs... forget them all. Every day I have to drive sensibly and obey the law because without my licence I dont have a job, and every day I see at least one person driving like an absolute moron and I wonder...

Cyborg-like implants. I want titanium joints and UV vision and magnetic field sensors and charging my phone by laying it on my belly. Uncap each finger to reveal a small tool: screwdriver, USB key, cutting blade, etc.

Note that none of that includes or requires a constant connection to a network/internet. I want to augment my interactions with the real world, not replace them with a virtual world.

I've looked forward to this most of my life, but given how things have changed, I would never do it. There's no way these implants wouldn't be subscription based, and spy on everything you do. Oh, you forgot to pay your enhanced eyeball subscription? Now you're blind, motherfucker!

Biohackers have been toying with very primitive versions of this for over a decade.

Things like implanting RFID capsules in their hands or fingers to act as credit cards or key fobs... lots of fun infections.

I am fairly sure the movement has basically died out since bluetooth became widespread.

On the other hand, you can always sign up as a test subject for neuralink rofl.
