I want to get one of the first implants possible. VR headsets are so unsightly.
When Gabe or Musk are the first people to get the implant, I'll consider it... 10 to 15 years later.
Poor monkes 🐒
😬
As long as theres no wifi and its to solve medical issues, why not? Better than trusting a nazi.

I wish I could close or move windows around with my brain. It would be so nice.
What are the chances this won't be proprietary?
There are many reasons why I would take this over others. Many of those reasons have been pointed out in this thread. However there are many reasons why I say no. One small reason that will happen every year among many is will it have wifi 9?
I like that vision of future (implants are cool, neural interfaces can be useful), but I'd also like our world to stop and think a bit at every stage.
Solve the global network (note how I'm not saying "global computer network", because I don't think so, ideally we'd still have global analog commutated channel network as the base level), web of hypertext documents, universal applications and personal computing problems sufficiently well first. Then go to brain implants.
It's like combat drones, using them with optical cables for communication is better than with radio, turns out. That's the current way.
Would be good if for computing we'd figure out ways better than war to remove delusions.
