    Not how a brain implant works.

    If I could have direct interface to my devices (write text by thinking it, control video game characters,…) I would get one in a heartbeat.

    Sadly it’ll be a while until the tech comes that far and it’ll have strictly medical usecases for quite some time.

      We already have had implants turned off wirelessly with ota updates.

      Not brain implants, but if you don’t think that would be a thing, then you’re so naive that I could sell you a bridge.

      Unless the alternative is severe disability I really don’t see the appeal of having untrustworthy tech bro billionaires physically infiltrate our brains just so we can “control video game characters” or “write text by thinking it”. I’d rather keep my brain to myself and write text and control video games by a mixture of thinking and wiggling my fingers.
