These people need to be stopped. Seriously.
Honestly they just say things. If you spend 30 seconds thinking about it it's pretty obvious that no one's going to get a brain implant. It's a brain implant, it's not something you casually decide on a whim.
Also who's doing it, the world isn't exactly a wash with neurosurgeons let alone who would just eager to risk a potential lawsuit carrying out unnecessary brain surgery. Unless the plan is to get robots to do that, but surely we would need the robots before we start talking about the brain chips.
If they can, they will. They don't respect anyone's well-being or autonomy.
I'll worry about it when I see it. Right now they don't have a functioning AI so it's not an immediate concern.
By the time you see it your options to react will be too limited to be effective. This is why we keep getting fucked by the billionaire class. They're planning years ahead and we only react when the threat is already imminent.
I literally prefer human extinction.
