Ew. Neuralink sounds fucking terrible then. Cyberpunk 2077 kinda exposes a lot of problems brain implants will have, and it's actually being tame. Imagine Spyware just sending your every thought off to someone else who can blackmail you over it. Stared at someone's butt too long? Your spouse now knows. Think about how much you hate your boss? Enjoy your meeting with HR. Someone snuck into your visual feed while you showered and now the recording is online for all to see.

The person behind Neuralink is the absolute last person I think should ever be heading such a product, and there are worse people out there who will gladly exploit every last security flaw that you're too poor to protect yourself against.

That stuff sounds all fun and cutesy until you realize how much of your information gets hijacked from your phone or computer, but now it's your thoughts being intercepted. Count me out.
