If cyberpunk media taught me anything is that having anything in your body that isn’t 100% independent and only connects through a very secure wired network (no wireless!) On a need to do basis only.
And even with wired connections… you guys know cyberpunk 2077, right? In the corpo life path the introduction literally has your boss fry the brains of a roomful of foreign VIPs like it was nothing and when his half-assed scheme to have you murder his boss (your boss’s boss) you get hired and all the implants they put in you become internal deadweights and the fact that they were managing your sky high stress levels means you immediately have a break down and faint due to sensory overload.
This is not to mention the quick hacks in-game that can cause you great harm or even death if some script kiddie gets a hold of them.
I really need to get back to creative writing and write the cyberpunk novel I have in mind of people jailbreaking the unjailbreakable devices and showing how the elites used ‘necessary’ implants to straight up kill their users if they are acting all ‘uppity’.
I’d agree, but my dad had a very nice brain implant that he kept charged via wireless charging. He basically had a computer where a pacemaker would go, and we could adjust parameters with a specific charger that not only charged his implant but spoke with the computer. He ended up having three favorite settings (one for one type of dyskinesia, one for a different type of dyskinesia, and one for good days) although we’d joke that his [favorite sport] skill upgrade download was coming in the mail any day.

Your description is not something I am worried about or what they want. It is an implant to do a very specific task and nothing else.
This isnt what Musk and other tech billionaires want.
same technology, more probes (for neuralink)
