A blind/paralyzed person might feel a bit differently about that. Healthy people getting brain implants for fun is quite far in the future. That is not the intended usecase for Neuralink at this time.
Sure but experimental technology is still pretty risky, especially with Musk’s companies tendency to cover up any issues. Ending up brain damaged on top of blind and paralyzed would be a nightmare.
A blind person? Sure - there are ways to “cure” blindness by inserting chips into the brain, so I’ll give them a pass. Paralyzed people, on the other hand, won’t regain control of their own limbs, only have external actuators respond to their thoughts - we already had that technology. We’ve had it for decades, without the need of a brain implant.
There is no way I am putting proprietary hardware and especially proprietary software into my brain.

Yeah, because they’re forced into that position due to circumstance.
Which is exactly why able-bodied people should be free to criticise this model and call for open source alternatives.
To protect people that have been rendered incapable of protecting themselves.

Fair enough, BTW Sync for a Lemmy has some of these as a handy access, and I am pretty sure some other clients do.
