But also, fuck no. I would never trust modern software or hardware companies to develop something that is going to be connected to my brain. We can’t even trust social media or AI companies not to fuck us up without the physical connection.
I get where you’re coming from, but being paraplegic doesn’t make Musk and Newell any less driven by money. Maybe Newell will surprise me and make it open source, which would help me see it as an actual philanthropic venture.
If society was headed towards Star Trek I’d be less apprehensive, but as it is we’re in for an even more bleak version of 1984 somehow.
Shit, you’re right. I was just using what engineering gave me, but yours tested much better with the focus groups. Let me know if you ever want to transfer from QA to Marketing, you got a real future here 👈😉👈
The only existing direct interfaces I know of are cochlear implants. You’d have to pair them with something that can play an ad, like a phone with Spotify, but they can deliver it directly through the auditory nerve to the cochlear nucleus of the brain stem.

Might change your tune if you’re paraplegic
That’s completely fair.

Why? Then I’d just be a technologically dependent parapalegic who’s brain is now subject to malware and EULA changes.
No thanks
But think of the ads they could play right into your brain!!
Now with 50% less barbarism!
You mean… With more convenience!

Sales pitch 101. There’s only positives.
Good news! They can already do this!

What a time to be alive!
It is completely out of the question to trust any modern technology company with something like a brain interface.
