To me this title reads more like a capitalistic celebration of potential labor from an otherwise un-exploitable workforce, instead of a celebration of a major breakthrough in giving some semblance of dignity and autonomy to a person who was robbed of it by this terrible affliction.
Yeah, the presentation is a tad dystopian.
Still an eminently cool breakthrough, though I’ve read that BCI’s are hackable and that notion sounds pretty scary.
So brainrotten, is not an efficient use of acquiring new labour. Work can give people a sense of purpose, this guys job is climate activism so im sure he feels very happy to be able to go back to work.
Because that’s the only way you can be worth something.
Starts strong but dam, capitalism just sneaks up and slaps the happy right out of ya.
So now you can’t even be paralyzed in peace
Great, now you can suffer AND work!
I gettit, it’s impressive, it will greatly increase their happiness with the little they have, but why conflate this awesome thing with “now get to work, you serf!”?
I mean he’s a pretty cool guy, he does organizing and strategy work for campaigns of people who fight climate change and he’s a climate activist. He’s obviously been afflicted with a terrible illness, but he’s also got some things going for him, despite his families insistence they don’t have generational wealth he did go to Duke so there’s still a good deal of privilege in this claim.
From all accounts it seems he’s fighting the good fight. So it’s a pretty cool thing that’s happened but it’s definitely gonna eventually open the door to awful things because capitalism is evil.
It’s great technology that helps people in need, but I’m worried that one day, they’ll even dig us out of our graves and put us to work.🥶
Jesus Christ, the focus on working a job in that title 😞

Hell yeah. Next, they can get a cut of every dollar made! Or a subscription service with strict usage limits and add-ons to re-enable disabled functionality. It’s one or the other.
🤦
8% is the difference between a cool coworker and an asshole
Damn, we really got to Pantheon’s “Uploaded Intelligence” concept before GTA 6.
