Honestly I won't get one but I'm fine for Elon to break into it. I kinda feel like that's the only thing he does well. Funnels money into concepts people believe are impossible. Fail until there's some small success and let other, more competent people learn from those failures. I think I'd rather have that than stay stagnant and/or have the Russian brain chip become the standard

Good point. Let’s see what comes of this. Like I have said, I would welcome a chip if it solves my brain’s issues (instead of side effect laden medication) and it’s likely that the chip I want would be from one of those folks that learn from failure.

The important thing is people can't just casually reprogram the damned thing.

having an ability to diagnose and correct without cracking your head open is fine, but it has to be a way that's 'you're giving positive affirmation that you're OK with it or a medical professional is physically having to plug a thing in or on or ... just so it can't be 'oh hey yo ustepped through these induction plates. we turned your anti-siezure chip off due to your non-compliance.'
