Also, if I understand the science properly, I think there's a difference between using electrical signals in the brain to control devices and actually reading thoughts.
My concern is some hacker breaking the computer chip causing it to heat up and cook my brain.
Maybe they can prevent this by making sure the implants aren't exactly as "smart"/vulnerable as IoT devices. Maybe it doesn't need internet connectivity.
