I get it, you want brain chip treats.

Don't expect people to cheer them on, especially if they're owned and operated by companies ran by my-hero and/or lord-bezos-amused . Also, the heat death of the universe is inevitable too; what's your point about that?

They will eventually be safe and useful enough

doubt

I don't buy into your empty faith in exploitative techbro bullshit inevitably leading toward nicer and kinder things; some technological things can and do get worse over time, especially software, and I don't see how brain chips from the same techbros would be any less exploitative when capitalism requires growth mandates and that means more exploitative systems and more hostile practices over time.

Judging an entire concept in perpetuity based on a single, early implementation is beyond short-sighted.

Assuming it is both inevitable and will totally be nice to you and give you neat powers is escapist wishful thinking without material analysis.

You sound like early Internet skeptics.

You sound like a credulous NFT investor, complete with the "this is INEVITABLE" chanting and the "everyone will bow to this eventually and praise it" wishful thinking.
