That’s exactly what that question was getting toward, and I do not feel it was expounded upon as thoroughly as the questioner probably hoped. It is a real issue imo… as new technologies that have the propensity to increase QoL or delay death emerge, those with money will have access while those without will not have access. It is easy to imagine a situation where you have insurance and have one of these installed, and then a life event disrupts your income, and you lose that insurance and are unable to update or remove the implant. Important questions, but still fascinating potential.

I have a genius friend who thinks brain chips will be the end of free will. His vision of the future is Orwellian, where Elon Musk or someone similar will install a back door into the chips. Once a big enough percentage of the population has the chips installed, the back door will be activated and the hosts will become slaves. I’m old, and still marveling at cell phones. Is this future possible?

Based on everything we’ve seen in the behavior of Silicon Valley since the 90s, I absolutely would not trust them to thoughtfully weigh medical ethics.
They have shown a complete disregard for the ethics of privacy concerns, turned computer viruses into a profit opportunity, utilize the strategy of planned obsolesence and exhibit a absolutely careless disregard for the infection of our global media networks with misinformation and political disinformation (including foreign psyops materials aimed at destabilizing democracies.)
You want these people to put a computer chip in your brain?

I don’t really care what companies like Apple or Meta are doing (its just going to be about putting ads and paywalls in your brain anyway so ‘do not want’) and i certainly don’t want anything that was anywhere near Elon in my head either, but then i do wonder what Valve is up too.. 🤔
Consumer BCI that’s half as cool as what we imagine it could be is probably still decades off though, so i’m just hoping we get some nicer VR and AR stuff between then and now.
