Surely brain computers will be a pretty big investment for people; would embedding advertisements be worth it for companies? I'd imagine most people are willing to pay another few thousand dollars on top of the very high cost to avoid any sort of obnoxious features, for both personal and potentially socially-influenced reasons.
It's hard for me to see how anything could be worth more to companies than straight profit.
you think fb will make people pay for it to receive like notifications in your brain?
But what I was saying is that even if you could pay for a brain computer, many less fortunate wouldn't be able to, which opens the road for advertising subsidized (surveillance) brain computers.
Maybe we already are all just computers in a simulation already. Ghost in the shell thoughts are rapidly coming back.
My take (apologies in advance for the self-indulgence): A commonly-claimed revelation or drug-assisted-insight is that "we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves". This is a foundational concept in the idea that "cybernetically-assisted individuals" is only a minor extension of our current reality, the tiniest blip upon our shared planetary history's march of progress. It should be treated as such, but hopefully better managed than our previous technological accelerants like fossil fuels...
