Not such a conspiracy theory now

What. I still rember the article about the Monkeys Musk butchered with his Microchips! This was terrifying and disgusting and now he is allowed to do this to humans?! WTF.

All I’m seeing is ads streamed directly to the brain with no way but one to stop it, assuming that instinct doesn’t get neurologically suppressed.

Get ready for mental health DLC patches or micro transactions.

Unskippable ads directly to your brainhole

It's no longer a conspiracy theory. It's a conspiracy fact.

Interesting, isn't it, that Elon hasn't even suggested he would be getting a Neuralink chip in his brain...

The difference is that it's consensual, you libtard.

Now try not to think about those monkeys we're testing the product on and whether it was consensual for them.

^{/s if it wasn't obvious}

When the conspiracy theory said Gates was doing it, it was the end of days.

Now that musk is doing it, it'll be sliced bread 2.0.

Man, I don't know what right wingers y'all are talking about.

I come from a super right wing family and all them MFs think this is a bad idea too (though to be fair, they're def on the conspiracy theory "everything is to get a microchip in my blood/brain" side of things).

There's no way the FDA approved that shit.

Finally cyberpunk begins. We need more neon lights, but thanks to LEDs I am looking positively towards our future.

I welcome these regressive assholes getting a chip in their brain that has been shown to fry the brains of monkeys if they want it. Maybe we should even be campaigning for it in the South.

Probably already been hacked. We just haven't heard about it yet.

I remember reading an article just a few weeks ago about a company that made a combination prosthetic/implant for blind people to be able to see in the...early 2000s, I think? It was an early technology, low-rez, but somewhat miraculous for some.

And then the company went out of business.

As the implants began to wear out, or the software developed bugs, or the patients' needs changed, things fell apart. They lost their vision and nobody could help them because the hardware and software were proprietary.

Now Elon Musk—with his reputation for quality control and following through with ideas and open source—wants to put things in our brains. Backed by the full faith and credit of Elon Musk.

One day he's going to push down an update that makes everybody with a Neuralink stop and say "hehe butts" in a funny voice, and the tech bros will say "lol great meme Elon" even though a dozen of them got hit by a car because they were forced to stop while they walked across the street, and thirty of them lost their jobs because they said "hehe butts" to their managers, and one of them was a soldier who said "hehe butts" in an active warzone and blew the whole squad's cover.

I can't believe anyone is honestly entertaining this.

Nothing against experimenting with this chip in Musk's brain. It's always good to start with something simple.

BECAUSE👏EVERY👏ACCUSATION👏IS👏A👏CONFESSION👏

In other news Musk opens pizzeria in Washington DC

mm cool can't wait to have brain surgery every 2 years when new version comes out

All conspiracies come true if you spread them and wait long enough... Eventually some crazy rich guy will have heard it and make it real. 😅

Humans are weird. 😅

I wonder if they’ll explain the risk of deadly diarrhea

what does the chip do?

Oh, so it's all about consent? Huh.

This is some really cool tech and I'm happy the trials are starting. It's a shame having it attached to Elon is ruining the perception of it, I'm hoping other companies get in the game soon.

I cant tell if you are so stupid to think conspiracists are ok with neurolink or if you are just pretending to "own the right".

Dream Scenario IRL except it's Musk

Yk, I'll play devils advocate and say that I see the good in this. People with disabilities will finally be able to do things.

But, governments will definitely love this. And the proprietary technology would definitely be spying on people, no surprise there.

I'm really afraid it could become a mandate to get in the future (gotta learn how to survive in the woods.)

So overall, it has good potential but would definitely be used for harm. I think it's a net negative.
