I’m less worried about hackers than having major corporations have unabated access to stream whatever they want to your brain.
Imagine to have to watch ads to access your brain music stream or ads while dreaming like Futurama predicted.
Are you tired of dreaming about advertisements? Then get the new AdBlockPillow! For just 99.99 a month it blocks all incoming Advertisements while you sleep!
And then an army of shills will tell you that blocking ads in dreams is theft.
Oh I can already see them: "businesses need to make money! Free market will regulate everything so it will be very fair!" I wonder if there is a corpo shill bullshit generator out there
Not specialised in shilling, but there's a corporate speech bullshit generator
GoogleTeslaMetaCokacolaSoft would try to roll out an ad blocker blocker and fry a few dozen brains in a third world country before letting you sleep ad free.
yo if they make the dream ads fun and what not sign me up.
drop me in a geico ad i swear

People will never want chips installed in their brain. There's just too many scifi movies showing why that's a bad idea and the tech industry keeps completely ignoring the message and try to make it into a reality.
I'd hope that's the case, but I mean, look at artificial intelligence. People are widely adapting that even though theres proof that its going to replace tons of jobs in the near future.
But hey, "ooh shiny technology"
Replacing jobs would be considered an immense public good in any sensible economy. Unfortunately, capitalism makes it so you die if nobody needs you to work. Nobody needing you to work is logically a GOOD thing! Why are people being punished for it??
My point exactly.
I hope you are right. I agree, I don't think I'd ever want one, but one can never know what technology will be available in a couple decades- I'm afraid at some point people will eventually find it enticing and before that, there's always idiots who would just because.
At first. Then within a couple of years they will no longer offer a free version, and even those who pay will be forced to do whatever privacy invading garbage they push (as you say, can't take it out - the epitome of "captive audience").
