I knew this would be unpopular when I posted it but idgaf. Everyone thinks they would take a stand and yadayadayada. Meanwhile, 99% of us will willingly adopt whatever popular tech comes out. It's happened before: it will happen again.

Open Source the firmware and I’ll get it.

Signed, the GNU/Linux users

Me: Trying to go about my life

Nueralink: Please drink verification can to continue living.

Me: Aww shit, here we go again.

Get the chip, hack it, re-implement it on top of a librebooted x200 and wear that as a hat

Think about it like this. If Microsoft didn't try every hook and crook to stuff Edge up your ass it would be a decent web browser and it wouldn't hurt me to use it.

I hate Edge because it's shoved down my throat, not because of the browser itself.

If neuralink or whatever takes its place becomes good and isn't forced on us, it might be worth considering.

Actually, the number of monkeys they tested the chip on, who got their brains fried, is 100%. So I’ll take the blue pill and watch people die.

I love how quickly the "take the red pill" bros took the blue pill because some billionaire hates gays as much as them

I feel like this would be more like that episode of TNG where everyone gets addicted to that crappy video game and the implant itself will take control of everyone who has the implant to forcibly give the implant to those who don't.

It's Elon, so more like the head buckets on that episode of SpongeBob but implemented very badly.

Genx, actual tech pro and ASD. try me you fucking cosplay hack

How about I just don't. Peer pressure means nothing to me.

There's like 3 people who's opinions I give a fuck about and they're definitely not getting brain chips.

no, elon musk will get fucked because of all the false advertising and probably other crap he did, before the brain chip is even close to being finished.
