Props to him for trying it himself instead of having someone else do it and take all the risk

We could build Sword Art Online, but I think we all know that this technology will be used to beam ads directly into your head 24/7. You won't be able to sleep because of the penis enhancement ads.

This is the new tech that will justify Half Life 3 they were talking about in the doc. It all makes sense now, the ultimate controller!

We're going to get Borg before GTA VI
I’m only doing the brain chip thing if it can fully transplant me to a Matrix level of simulated reality and get me out of this current hellhole permanently.
I'd probably be a slow adopter tbh. Feel like you would wany such a chip to be quite trustworthy and reliabld. Proprietary software and hardware is not the most trustworthy thing in the world...

Where is the ~~Github~~ Gitea/forgejo/CodeBerg/etc repo? OSHW certification?
Until then unfortunately it's "just" Gabe's fanboyism. Better learn from open academic research or OSHW projects.
I didn't know they were doing brainchips. I trust Gabe with it way more than fElon, for sure.
A culture that obsoletes electronics every couple of years and enshittifies services every couple of other years cannot be seriously talking about MMIs/BCIs.
