AI powered brain-chips is a concept that terrifies me but also fascinates me because it would avoid this kind of useless bullshit.

Imagine having a very advanced AI in your brain that knows you really well (because well, it’s in your brain). You could have concepts and information explained in the most effective way for you, or (and this really is scary) directly written in your brain so that you suddenly just know something. Your colleagues would just have to think the information that you need to receive, and then their chip and your chip would communicate so that the message gets “translated” to your own “thought language”.

I think that’s the future we will face if we don’t wipe ourselves out of existence first. The “cool” thing is it would be an actual evolutionary leap that would make us something we can’t really grasp at the moment.

The scary thing is it would of course be a shit sold by corporations to transmit ads directly to your brain or some shit

That would be abused so heavily and eventually lead to nefarious evildoers able to literally brainwash everyone else into serving them.
