knows you'll give in eventually
No, I bloody will not.
Yeah, I resisted mobile phones until about 1999, and didn't get a "smartphone" until 2014. I was quite the Luddite.
I still don't play mobile games. I thought it was going to be a great opportunity but all the games sucked and I didn't like the interface.
I run hot and cold... I liked the BTD series for a while - it has a good phone interface IMO as well as "easy to multitask" play, unlike something like StarCraft that sucks you in and demands 110% of your attention. However, I haven't played it in years, I was just tempted to reload it tonight, and I did, and... it just doesn't do anything for me anymore.
"You'll eventually give in" Tells you everything you need to know about the power of large tech companies in the US .
We have the money and the power to force this technology in to the mainstream. Tech companies know that Congress is way too old, way too corrupt, and way too slow to really do anything about regulating stuff like this in a reasonable time frame. They have no real barriers and the heads of these companies don't give a shit about the user as long as they pay their monthly subscription.
It's not like we don't know the playbook already.

Now you know brain implants will be used as an authentication system, to protect the children, prevent spam, and maybe they'll manage to add something about terrorism in the justification.
And your employment history, financial status, known associates, voter record, you get the idea.
The choice between the chip and a bullet?
Dont expect everyone to sit idly by for either option.
Yeah, look at NeuraLink and how successful that was at being a thing.
I don't trust these ghouls to pour me a glass of water, they won't get anywhere near my body
could we just like - tactically nuke them?
No need, at least not for several decades. The tech described in the article is millions of times more capable than current working experimental systems. Possible future? yes. Possible within 100 years? maybe. Kind of on the order of a self-sufficient expanding Mars colony of human settlers.
I will never ever.. hahaha okay you rascal, ya got me! Now get over here and stick that junk in my head-meat haha
So creeps like Zuck can upload their LLM conscience into my brain? No thank you.
... Actually, that would make a great horror movie.
We will all carry our "papers" around in our bodies.
Over my dead body.
Also, this is laughable:
We’re on the cusp of the next major transition, the merger of humans and AI.
These guys don't even have true AI yet, just a text predictor on steroids that frequently hallucinates and gets things wrong.
High on their own supply. Common human weakness, fuck I wish it weren't.
The cope is really deep in the tech sector. Way too many imbeciles who think they're geniuses and too much VC to throw around.

AI is incredible if you ask it about stuff you're not an expert on. Once you ask it those things you already have expert level knowledge on, especially nuanced questions, you'll start to see the issues. It won't be every question it gets wrong, but it's often enough to be an issue.
In other words, it’s all an illusion. It’s a ruse to get us to feed it our thoughts, so it can summarize our files and our queries, and it can feed us the responses it is told to feed us.
We already know it can do that since they’re placing fucking ads in it.

AI CEO D. Scott Phoenix laid out a vision of a world in which the chipped enjoy so many advantages of the unchipped that you’ll be forced to comply.
I won't even verify my age online. He can shove my advantageous chip right up his ass.
forced to comply.
The language I'd expect from a villain in some fiction aimed at teenagers, not from a real person. This is so bizarre, and the amount of people ok with ceos saying those things is disturbing

I'm glad I learned that excessive convenience is a bad thing before this became the norm.

A report in Politico details a TED talk in Vancouver last month
Oh so it's just rambling musings of some self-important CEO rather than any actual declaration of intent.
There are some good TED talks but a lot of them are just hot air.

No, I don't think I will
I won't even get contact lenses, I ain't letting them putting a chip in my brain.
The fuck I will. Unless they change the definition of 'give in' to 'die' then they don't know shit. I don't want them in my PHONE, let alone my FUCKING HEAD. I think about them too much as is.

Just like we all ran out and bought 3D TVs. Right? And Meta smart glasses. Any day now!
