I'm never getting one. If it ever gets to the point where I have to get a brain implant as a condition for a employment, and all the jobs are like that then I guess I'll just be homeless.
My brain runs arch btw
As if it wouldn't be super illegal to hack it and remove the tracking software. AKA Windows 11 BE (Brain Edition).
Imagine the subscription service to your brain, that if you don't pay, you get turret syndrome or something lol... Actually, it's not funny, but sadly, that'll be a thing for sure...
Mark of the beast aside, alterations to the mind like this are insulting God in Christianity and Islam.
I'm not getting this or any other chips.
The real problem will be when employees simply can't be competitive without it and not having it will relegate them to jobs for severely disabled people.
Are glasses an affront to your god? What about braces? Cochlear implants? How about ventilators? Synthetic insulin? Should I keep going or did you get the point?
Fuck Elon Musk and the inevitable shit show that's going to happen during the human trials, but it's got nothing to do with any god.
No. Just no. The problem isn't anything having to do with religion. I absolutely do not subscribe to the notion that we shouldn't improve technology just because "it makes humans too godlike" or some shit.
Governments and corporations already abuse the fuck out of smartphone "privacy" as it is. No way in hell I'm giving these authoritarian bastards a direct link to my brain.
