While the idea is awesome, I'm certain that greedy corporations or other bad actors will abuse this.

    I'm sure at some point in the future someone will do bad things with every piece of technology, as they have with every piece of technology so far.

    That's no reason to be upset about advances in new technology

    They aren’t upset about technological advancement, they’re upset at the utter lack of consumer protection.

    It’s been bad for a long time:

    And nothing has changed that. But go ahead don’t let me stop you from begging to be a beta tester.

    Worked out so far right? https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-pcrm-neuralink-monkey-deaths/

    Im sure Elon will totally not rat fuck you like he has done to every Tesla owner (bad build quality, false advertising for things like full self driving, etc)

    It’s wild you are so desperate to defend these out of control capitalists wanting to do literal human experimentation. The corporations don’t give a fuck about you, you’re expendable.

    This is not a remotely accurate reading of either my comments or this article
