    If anyone is dumb enough to put anything from that dude into their head, that brain was already damaged!

    He’s obviously desperately trying to revive the image of being a genius again. But everybody knows what kind of charlatan he is.

    Brain chips from the people who “move fast and break things”. This can only end well.

      At the same time, I feel like we shouldn’t let that happen because imagine if he actually succeeds? And then we just have immortal crackhead Lex Luthor with a hallucinating ChatGPT whispering further delusions directly into his brain. That can’t be good for any of us.

    If definitely seems dystopian, but hopefully this ends up helping some people who are quadriplegic.

        Absolutely. However through his maniacal adventures he may find where this technology should NOT go to progress.

        Except it doesn’t.

        Don’t overlook the ‘Fi’ in ‘SciFi.’

        Aspects of tech are often correctly predicted in SciFi going all the way back to Lucian writing about a ship of men flying up to the moon in the 2nd century.

        But surrounding what they often get right the authors always get things wrong too. For example, contrary to Lucian’s ideas, in reality the ship of men that flew up to the moon didn’t find a race of human like aliens that were only men who could carry children and had a bunch of gay sex with the men of Apollo-11.

        TL;DR: Correctly predicting a technology in a story doesn’t mean correctly predicting the social impact and context for that technology.
