I can’t imagine a faster way to dystopia. You’d be literally incapable of disobedience.
Depends on the implant. I have to imagine the only way this kind of thing could be adopted mainstream is for it to be open source, the risks are just too high to let some random company put obfuscated proprietary tech in your brain
Its a good thing? Prosthetics really help disabled people.
I’m all for it, things like cochlear implants have already been improving lives for decades.
it’s really sick
Good sick, right?
yes? sick as in slang for cool
Whatever improves your quality of life I’m all for.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel; I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.
Your kind cling to your flesh, as if it will not decay and fail you. One day, that crude biomass you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you.
But I am already saved.
For the machine is immortal.
Even in death I serve the Omnissiah
Wearable > implantation
Just a security concern. Augmenting is great but we don’t want the augmentations to become a liability. Obviously there are exceptions to every rule, if we invent a robotic arm replacement for someone who’s lost one, the security concerns are generally lower than the quality of life improvement of having a functioning arm 99% of the time, and there’s an argument for the potential ability for rapid detachment in case of emergency, but once we get into subdermal and brain implants, we’re in a territory where these things can’t be easily removed in case of emergency, and the risks get immense.
Not against it on principle, but there’s no way I’d get it knowing about the way the corporations that have the resources to make it happen operate.
I know too many devs to have my body require a firmware update.
There are folks who are facing their hardware provider going out of business and just hoping their eyes don’t quit working.
I read this and thought: if someone wants a boob job: okie.
I am not looking forward to having my eyes scooped out for a second time because the company providing bionic vision went out of business.
Cool for people with disabilities or medical needs. But otherwise I’m not a fan of purely cosmetic/cyberpunk/silicon valley style augmentation.
Conceptually? I’m all for it. Why wouldn’t I be.
In practice, we live in a capitalist society and I don’t want an arm that makes me watch an advertisement before I open a bag of chips.
Not my issue. Mine is more that I don’t want my arm to stop working because I updated too early and the maintainer missed a major issue ;) selfhosted crew checking in.
Wow, I literally have nothing to add to that. Well done.
Too real man
All right, you get the chip opening for free, but masturbation requires a paid subscription
And practice on a hotdog first or you’ll tear it right off/start a bushfire.
I like big butts and I cannot lie
