One would imagine that the DX fanbase would be aware of what a bad idea this is, just think back to HR and the replacement chip thing... Now imagine that without there even being a replacement, that they'd have implemented all that in secret.

For those who don't know. In Human Revolution the manufacturer of these brain chips sent out a version that allows them to make you go zombie mode on command, like The Last of Us zombies. As a political move. No way in hell I ever have one of these put into me.

This game's advertising is so effective, people voluntarily put it in memes (myself included).

Like a lot of things there's nuance. Musk's claims about computer brain singularity are overblown and hyperbolic, but the technology does have a lot of potential to help people with serious brain conditions.

Comic Book series Transmetropolitan has a few panels like this I believe. I can't remember if it's from his glasses ot an implant though. AR advertisements on top of real world advertising.

There were the hallucinogenic ads too that would get sprayed in your face as a mist, and the hypnotism ads on television that made you dream about the product all night.

I love Transmet.

The factory that makes them will be a primary target in the future mind wars.
