Personally, I think the technology has great potential. But under capitalism? Fuck no.
Gimme open sourced brain chips and I'm in
You are now required to use the command line just to think.
Can you imagine getting stuck in vim?!
I did imagine it.
Yes. Democratically produced and managed
Lol i would say no under any system.
There are legitimate, helpful uses for such technology
Yeah, for example as a coder being able to conjecture code just by thinking it would be magical.
Exactly. And the potential for VR and total immersion development. Thinking things into existence. The art people could make from pure imagination. A real metaverse.
I was thinking more along the lines of "Oh, this will make my legs work again!" or "This chip bypasses the damage done by [horrible brain disease] allowing you to reclaim some significant percentage of functionality"
That is another clear benefit, yes!
to do that with someone's brain would be a nightmare, stray thoughts would fuck up the code and it would take forever to make anything comprehensible
