As if adtech and blackbox algorithms don't already have that. It's scary to think about, especially in regards to spirituality, but I've seen the implant(s) allow people who wouldn't be able to move at all, stuck there; be able to move the cursor around a screen. Be able to play video games, and communicate with their loved ones.
There's good in things, will it be used for good when somebody links their brain to their own super-AI? Probably not, but for medical purposes it makes more than enough sense.
To understand alzheimers, dementia, the good for it all is limitless. Do I want privacy invaded? God no, but we know what it's coming to. With Neuralink and Elon's squad of young-and-upcomings that leave things like xAI keys on git commits, HIPAA data even if protected means nothing if somebody (some random) can just connect in, take it, and then sell it.
For me, and it's just my opinion is that the risks outweigh consumer good, and it's for sure got 'evil super villain hooked to an AI' written all over it.
they already have it
but what they still trying to keep a secret is that all this crap ain't necessary - just a good ol` transceiver and an antenna does the trick
