I have a big brain, so I refuse all microchips. I won’t settle for anything less than a macrochip.

Wait, you mean I can let the guy who invented a shittier version of a subway train (the tunnel has colorful LEDs though) and routinely bitches about safety regulations put computer chips in my brain?! Woah, sign me up for the future!

i cant believe they actually built that tunnel. they filled a nearly inescapable underground tube with cars known for combusting and burning for ages

That’s fine. That thing is halfway round the globe. I’ll be just fine

As soon a company offers this shit I am in.

However I need proof that I am the owner and user of the chip. So if Apple would sell it I probably won’t buy it, because I wouldn’t own what I bought

Why would you get an implant?

Imagine an implant giving you the ability to speak a foreign language? Or code? Or whatever specialized knowledge?

If it was safe I would totally do it. But by that point specialised knowledge X would probably be worthless since anyone can get an implant.

I’d consider it if I lost a sense but I recommend everyone read this article.

Uh what a sad story. I didn’t even consider maintenance.

PC parts can’t even go few years without losing backwards compatibility (e.g. cpu sockets changing every few years). Last thing I need is for my physical body to incompatible with the newest and best stuff because I got a permanent implant when the tech wasn’t as evolved. This will always be the problem with invasive technology in my opinion.

So I have a cat chipped 15 years ago, and she can still operate modern devices with it - open doors, get food from a robot.

Not all tech goes obsolete fast, there are legacy compatibility layers!

There are chips that make cats smart enough to operate doors and robots? That’s so cool!

There is a non-zero chance that once they have a chip in your brain, they will find a way to stream ads in to it.

For that reason, I’m out.

Why stream ads when they can more-directly influence you?
