What we’ll likely get is some new type of porn thing.

Anyone putting corporate technology into their bodies is just asking to get Black Mirror’ed. I always thought it would be cool to have my body replaced by a sick robot, but I know I’ll never be rich enough to afford the cool one. I’ll just be in the Hyundai Bodi or whatever.

Pace makers keep you from dying so they’re sort of on a different level of need. Also, if corps did planned obsolescence on one, you’re probably not around to buy another.
If they were invented today, they would definitely have a predatory subscription model for “monitoring” your heart, or require occasional maintenance at cost to the end user.

Who would’ve thunk, standards exist for a reason.

Nah, I’ve played cyberpunk too much to know how this turns out
Why tho?
We will be able to play Half Life 3 as a curated dream.
Give the inventor of modern digital lootboxes and the “license don’t own” paradigm the opportunity to put a chip in my brain? Pass
