I hate that I have to say this, but: DO NOT, under any circumstances, allow the nazi techbro cult leader to put a CHIP in your HEAD.

As @cydharrell often says, cyberpunk is a warning, not a manual.

@fraying These tend to be the same people that claim there's a zombification virus or chip or whatever the conspiracy theory of the week is in the covid vaccine. They think a vaccine is evil, but a literal brain chip from techbro cult leader is A-OK.

@fraying Remember, with the right it's ALWAYS projection!

(Also, it's like Dilbert Stark has never heard of multidrug-resistant meningococcal meningitis ...)

@cstross @fraying If you don’t catch it the first time, don’t worry, in a couple of years it’ll need an upgrade when it goes out of support, so you’ll get another chance.

I hate that this is a real warning, and not an exaggeration.

Chip in my head? I wouldn't let him work on my car.

@fraying Yep... When Billions of people hold a Tracking Device in their hands... no need for a chip implant! we have phones... and Cell phone triangulation knows WHERE YOU ARE... so don't go to places you're "not supposed to" go... like the neighborhood that hooker lives... your wife might want to know why you went there!

@Gregvan you’re already giving the tech way too much credibility. It doesn’t work. It won’t work. It’s just another piece of bullshit out of the ass of an insane racist weirdo.

Fair enough, we will have to wait and see. When it comes to the human race, by money tends to be on the worst case conditions.
