There’s always a dumdum like you saying “it doesn’t affect you, so why do you care?”. Because the company implanting the chip killed a good amount of monkeys for their tests. They’re an unethical company. Because Elon Musk is a fucking piece of shit and he is clearly disregarding the laws if it makes him money. Because private, for-profit companies cannot be trusted to not fuck over everyone if it makes them a cent more.

Just like AI, the tech itself is great, but corpos turn it into a pile of shit for the money. It won’t be different this time around with daddy Musk.

WHAT THE FUCK
