It still strikes me as incredibly dangerous technology. I'm ok with it being used to help people who are disabled but I desperately don't want it to be available to the general public. It's only a matter of time until the brain starts receiving inputs in addition to sending outputs.
I think you'd have to be pretty insane in the first place to voluntarily get a brain implant just for the hell of it, so I doubt some cyber ghosts whispering into their brain would be anything they're not already used to.
The vast majority of the populace is too stupid to be trusted with any technology more advanced that a 2x4. People will adopt this in droves like the herd animals they are.
I doubt it will be forced on anyone. Rather they'll simply do what they always do and make it harder and harder to live without one, much like how phones are now.
They'll manufacturer a virus and force the cure through the implant. As others said, the spineless herds will adopt it out of fear for their safety. One generation after that, the chips will be mandatory at birth.
I'm considering branching out in to some physical labor job. There is a good chance that this will become the norm in IT and I'll probably not be able to compete in the future.
But that aside, allowing a disabled person to play games is incredible, in the near future he will be able to walk via a neurolink controllable exoskeleton. At the very least, if they can play games they can control his chair.
That was the first thing I was thinking, a mechanical exoskeletal controlled thru neurallink would be so cool.
He would not be able to feel anything but he could move around on his own.
I hate the idea of a brain chip but for paralyzed people seems amazing.
At least Musk is taking the cyberpunk dystopian future in the cool direction rather the the lefts emotional stunted pink hair communism.

I dunno, people say the same thing about smart phones but I'm 15 years deep into my IT career and have never owned one and I'm doing just fine.
Input amounts to sensory stimulation. A thing that people already go to great lengths to get. You can't stop them.
Agreed I can see it working wonders for the disabled and even getting people to walk again

I wish transhumanism would be about that.
Reality is probably gonna be VR porn brain chips for the masses.
