I have a big brain, so I refuse all microchips. I won’t settle for anything less than a macrochip.
Personally, I think the technology has great potential. But under capitalism? Fuck no.

As soon a company offers this shit I am in.
However I need proof that I am the owner and user of the chip. So if Apple would sell it I probably won’t buy it, because I wouldn’t own what I bought
Why would you get an implant?
Imagine an implant giving you the ability to speak a foreign language? Or code? Or whatever specialized knowledge?
If it was safe I would totally do it. But by that point specialised knowledge X would probably be worthless since anyone can get an implant.
Elon’s gonna end up like the tech CEO “Eron Keen” in Upgrade (2018). He’s gonna be some rogue AI’s bitch.
Friendly reminder that pacemakers can and do get hacked
They usually have no security at all though for some reason, maybe for the same reason viruses spread like crazy in the early days of the internet, people didn’t consider that and assumed everyone was acting in good faith
Making a secure device isn’t reeeally that hard these days, as long as you don’t also have to consider physical access (which, if someone has access to physically probe the chip in your brain, you have bigger problems)

New thing bad!!1!
This is the same argument people use against vaccines.
New thing could become mandatory in a future and give governments direct access to our eyes, thoughts, hearing…
Smart phone tracking would become a joke in comparison.
