    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.

      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.

    They WANT that, don’t they. Framing like that makes me hate them even more…

    GFY!

    They can’t even supply chips for computers or phones at this point…they think they can introduce an entirely new product type (which has yet to have much success, either) while failing with the datacenter LLM shit?

    I’m reminded of the guy I saw who couldn’t get out of the courthouse parking garage because he didn’t have a smartphone to pay for the parking.

    I’d still rather break a gate than get an implant.

    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.

    I believe David Icke predicted this way back in the late 80’s, early 90’s. Who would have thought that fruitcake would be right about something?

    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.

    I’m not sure why the tone is so negative in this article given that the plan being discussed is to make the technology so useful that most people want it despite the disadvantages. That’s not coercion.

      Not at first: At that point, it’s marketing.

      About the time that the techbro overlords figure out the command to the chip that makes it so you can’t get an erection, is about the time you’re suddenly going to be on the hook for 80 hour workweeks.

      Don’t think for a millisecond that can’t be a possibility.

        Very occasionally I run into something that used to be doable without a smartphone but requires a smartphone now, but that’s quite rare. Not having a smartphone now would be very inconvenient, but generally not more inconvenient than living without a smartphone was before they existed. I expect the same with this technology, if it ever arrives.
