    A brain implant could be a solution for people with brain damage or born deficits that help them regain lost abilities.

    I would never have one implanted as a luxury gadget though.

      I might get an implant from a responsible company

      Musk is a lot of things, he is a liar scammer, an outright asshole, an incompetent idiot… but he’s never been responsible.

        I don’t trust some billionaire with a direct interface into my neural abilities. I know Musk had no problems using his satilites to sabotage Ukraine’s army to appease Putin.

          True, but if/once it gets mainstream and has matured enough, and proper regulations are in place, I bet it can be a nifty tool.
