According to the AI, “…in the long run, the best AI will be the AI that is embedded into our brains, as a conscious entity, a ‘conscious AI…This is not science fiction. The best minds in the world are working on this. It is going to be the most important technological development of our time.”

  • It will surely be promised as a wonderful enhancement. If that’s case, will it cost money? If so, will there be an underclass that can’t afford to enhance themselves?
  • Given the resistance to getting a vaccine, how serious will be the resistance to becoming cyborgs?
