Comic Book series Transmetropolitan has a few panels like this I believe. I can't remember if it's from his glasses ot an implant though. AR advertisements on top of real world advertising.

There were the hallucinogenic ads too that would get sprayed in your face as a mist, and the hypnotism ads on television that made you dream about the product all night.

I love Transmet.

This is bad news, right?

Also FDA is wasting time on this rubbish, I hope someone will be held accountable.

Like a lot of things there's nuance. Musk's claims about computer brain singularity are overblown and hyperbolic, but the technology does have a lot of potential to help people with serious brain conditions.

Came across the concept of Transhumanism a number of years ago in an English class on futuristic literature. Charles Stross's Accelerando was the main text. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhumanism
