    While the idea is awesome, I’m certain that greedy corporations or other bad actors will abuse this.

      I’m sure at some point in the future someone will do bad things with every piece of technology, as they have with every piece of technology so far.

      That’s no reason to be upset about advances in new technology

        Im sure Elon will totally not rat fuck you like he has done to every Tesla owner (bad build quality, false advertising for things like full self driving, etc)

        It’s wild you are so desperate to defend these out of control capitalists wanting to do literal human experimentation. The corporations don’t give a fuck about you, you’re expendable.
