natural selection at work

They're constructed hierarchy not natural (That hints that someone didn't want to be the fuckup alone & created a destructive system for everyone) otherwise we would be living in a socialist utopia.

I invite everyone to listen to this episode,
The history of humanity with Christopher Knight

Anticorp ,

I want to thank Facebook for making it blatantly obvious to us that we should never get any brain implants. They'll definitely use them to read your thoughts and push ads straight into your consciousness. Oh, and you'll probably have to pay a subscription.

Your tinnitus will get progressively louder until you pay your bill

Anticorp ,

Hello Satan. I didn't realize you use Lemmy.

Musk is doing more to make people realize how garbage capitalism is than Marx ever could.

imagine physically embedding the fucking musk into your brain, VOLUNTARILY. i can't imagine anything worse in the world

Zetta ,

Well the disabled people getting this implant probably don't care about musk, it's legitimately a cool technology and good competition for the medical space.

Musk is a cuck still, and I'm sure we'll have to wait a couple generations before we get the dystopian stuff in Neurallink

Zron ,

I still don’t get how it’s at all safe or practical to have what amounts to a smart watch embedded into your brain.

The surgery they want to do literally involves removing a piece of your skull. Falling and hitting your head without a piece of your skull removed is bad enough, this is going to seriously compromise the strength of people skulls. Which is especially bad when you consider it’s meant to solve problems like paralysis. I have a feeling that people who are just learning to walk again may be at a high risk of falling. Now they’re at a high risk of falling and cracking their skull open like an egg.

It’s also charged with a wireless charger, which would need to placed on the device every night when you sleep. How many people remain completely still the entire night and don’t move their heads at all?

This is a cool and valuable first step for brain augmentations that can probably help thousands of patients, but the implementation has so many glaring problems that it makes me wonder how well the actual product even functions.

const_void ,

People are still driving Teslas right now. Pretty much the same in my book. You're trusting your life to a proven moron.

Nalivai ,

Elongated Muskrat has very little to do with the inner works of the company now. Even in the heights of his involvement, by his own account, his input was tangential at best, like "we make expensive car now, use this money to make cheaper car" and "we call it x because x is the best name ever"

The ongoing litigation against the company begs to differ. Also didn't Musk step down as CEO of Twitter a while back? It seems his tangential bullshit has quite an impact. I'll be honest I think the people actually working at Tesla do their best to try to moderate his unadulterated fuck ups. But they're not safe from it and neither is anyone else who does business with them.

Hazzia ,

Slightly off topic but I live in the DMV area and whenever I notice someone with the specific combination of both driving like someone who is not at all paying attention to what's going on around them and having 0 respect for other people on the road, 90% of the time it's a fucking Tesla.

You live near the Department of Motor Vehicles? /s

I have no clue where "the DMV area" is, even after Googling.

jscummy ,

Didn't try too hard there, did you

Perfide ,

Why would I google when it's much easier and much funnier to assume they meant the Department of Motor Vehicles?

masquenox ,

i can’t imagine anything worse in the world

I can... there are literally people who are willing to participate in Musk's Mars colonization fantasies. They stand about as much chance of success (or survival) as those people who got imploded in that Titanic sub - except their deaths won't be as quick and merciful.

derpgon ,

I'd encourage those people, less dumbasses on our planet.

I'm starting to get some real Golgafrincham vibes.

crow ,

I’m not putting anything in me that’s not foss. I worry for the tech illiterate though when they eventually adopt this idea.

abraxas ,

I agree, I love the idea of a brain chip, but not if someone can change licensing terms on something that's INSTALLED in me.
