We've been able to stick an electrode to the outside of your head and pull electrical activity data from your brain without invasive open-skull surgery for a couple decades now. Neuralink hasn't actually accomplished anything new except making this same thing way, way more expensive and way, way more likely to end in death of the patient.

I imagine a lot of places may wonder about this and then kick that can down the road until someone does actually collide with their bridge.

but why even build such a """feature""", if you'd get sued to hell and back for it in any self-respecting country?

Just don't activate it in self-respecting countries. And in America, wow, look at all this free data that is being stored on our servers! Surely we can parse that for something interesting and sell it or train an AI on it. Once users get used to it we can even charge them for the privelege.

When you find any business decision that makes no sense and you ask "why the fuck would they do that??" just follow the money trail and you'll find your answer. It's always about money. Every time.

Plus, if he did sue for libel, how would he ever get paid?

It's hardly even about getting paid at this point, I just want to see them rack up the high score. Left to his own devices I'm very confident that Trump can increase his own punitive damages beyond the actual GDP of the US.

I can defeat the world's most dangerous apex predator in unarmed one on one combat. The human. It's me, I would defeat myself, I would die trying to fight off any animal in this thread.

But then you've already used up the Apache when the bear round comes.

One coyote, probably. But where there's one there's two dozen. I wouldn't want to have to fight more than one at a time.

Wolverines are a very puntable size but if you put your foot that close to one that's picking a fight, you're not getting that foot back. I would also consider snakes to be "puntable" strictly speaking but wouldn't recommend trying. You might get it over the back fence but the chances you come back unscathed are slim at best.

I used to like hearing the modem scream into the void

Counterpoint: the potential for harmful abuse from a source that has proven itself willing and capable of it, can in itself be harmful abuse. With that action Spez pointed out "your reality is mine. I can make you say anything I want and there's nothing you can do about it." So, then, people stopped saying things, one of the contributing factors to which was the fact that Spez could just sockpuppet your account whenever he wanted, to say anything at all.

That sounds like an abusive relationship to me. It creates reliability issues like you said, it breaks the bond of trust, and that won't be restored. The damage is done at this point regardless whether he ever took it farther than the initial threat.
