Let's leave the obvious discussion of the ethics of transhumanism aside for a second and address something literally no one ever talks about.
Why the fuck would I want proprietary corporate hardware in my fucking head with proprietary software running on it? Why would I want my brain implant forced to update Windows 10 style? Why would I want to live in a future where every time I want to use my eye-camera(tm) I have to watch a 30 second ad projected into my consciousness?
Even if people aren't anti-transhumanism (and they should be) why is no one considering the obvious pitfalls that come with any new tech? I don't want Google to be able to access my brain and thoughts, actually.
There are lots of people considering the pitfalls and sounding the alarms. It's just that everyone sort of realizes this is an inevitable path that humanity is treading toward, just like with AI and robotics.
I don't haunt social media so you may be right, but I've literally never seen a prominent voice discuss the proprietary nature of this tech. The only thing I can think of that comes close is Transmetropolitan.
