That's some Uno Reverse shit and I love it.
Also, I didn't think about how the site still describes Tweets with the same name. Another clever thing that the CEO thought through.
Side question- How many people do you think would still get a brain chip from him?
I’d rather not have brain chips be legitimized.
There was no way to prevent Google Glass from being everywhere 10 years ago, until there was.
Things that are supposedly inevitable are not necessarily things people have to look forward to if they are shit.
direct energy? I'll let it melt adopters brains the same way it melted a bunch of monkeys' brains and continue not thinking about it. and if anyone tries to push me to get one I'll tell them to pound sand. no way in hell am I giving a corporation direct access to my brain for literally any reason. we live under capitalism - the only version of any product that will ever get produced is the one that makes the capitalists money. move fast and break things isn't exactly reassuring when it comes to the only brain you're ever going to have.
That tech cultist probably sees people getting damaged or killed by brain chip treats as some reasonable cost for some magic tech outcome later, "INEVITABLE" and all that, the way that tech cultists see Tesla crashes as always improving the technology somehow.
that was literally their reply to me before mod cleaned it up
But they said they were a leftist.
They have no fucking leftist goals or ideology to show, but billionaires will do leftist things INEVITABLY, right?
"regulations" will keep them in line, apparently, and "the only people who get hurt are the fanboys" - which doesn't include them for some reason. it's kind of cryptofash in their willingness to kill people at the altar of tech billionaires.
I saw your other posts. You really really want your headchip treats and are trying to make them appear faster like some kind of The Secret manifestation mantra.
Under capitalism, the "directed" energy is the whims of the ruling class, and your chip treats are likely to only be made more oppressive, mandatory to get and maintain jobs, be more surveillance laden in the way Amazon "fulfillment centers" already are, and with worsening subscription mandates and punitive measures for people that can't pay up.
Your wishful thinking would be quaint if it wasn't ruinously naive and based on faith in the ruling class because you really, really want the cyberpunkerinos to come true, faster.
Reddit's /r/Futurology cult beckons. You can chant "IT'S INEVITABLE" there all you like and pray for your billionaire masters to maybe pretty please make the brain chip treats uplifting instead of exploitative there.
