    direct energy? I’ll let it melt adopters brains the same way it melted a bunch of monkeys’ brains and continue not thinking about it. and if anyone tries to push me to get one I’ll tell them to pound sand. no way in hell am I giving a corporation direct access to my brain for literally any reason. we live under capitalism - the only version of any product that will ever get produced is the one that makes the capitalists money. move fast and break things isn’t exactly reassuring when it comes to the only brain you’re ever going to have.

      That tech cultist probably sees people getting damaged or killed by brain chip treats as some reasonable cost for some magic tech outcome later, “INEVITABLE” and all that, the way that tech cultists see Tesla crashes as always improving the technology somehow.

          But they said they were a leftist.

          They have no fucking leftist goals or ideology to show, but billionaires will do leftist things INEVITABLY, right?

            “regulations” will keep them in line, apparently, and “the only people who get hurt are the fanboys” - which doesn’t include them for some reason. it’s kind of cryptofash in their willingness to kill people at the altar of tech billionaires.
