Something something Half Life 3
But also, fuck no. I would never trust modern software or hardware companies to develop something that is going to be connected to my brain. We can't even trust social media or AI companies not to fuck us up without the physical connection.
But think of the ads they could play right into your brain!!
Now with 50% less barbarism!
You mean... With more convenience!
Shit, you're right. I was just using what engineering gave me, but yours tested much better with the focus groups. Let me know if you ever want to transfer from QA to Marketing, you got a real future here 👈😉👈
Sales pitch 101. There's only positives.
Good news! They can already do this!
The only existing direct interfaces I know of are cochlear implants. You’d have to pair them with something that can play an ad, like a phone with Spotify, but they can deliver it directly through the auditory nerve to the cochlear nucleus of the brain stem.
What a time to be alive!
