Ask HN: If one day AI brain chips become a thing, would you get it?

5•keepamovin•2h ago
I see this as becoming part of "The Borg", I doubt I'd be down with it. But I want to know how other people feel. The idea is open to interpretation - my view is its basically augmenting your cognition with AGI-cloud, so rather than going through a device, it can "live next to your thoughts", and you can access it at will.

The iBrain is a confident next step in your computing experience, priced at the $699 bracket we know consumers love. The headlining feature is it's ability to record visual sensation and memories through a proprietary Spatial Aperature located at the front and rear of the device. It runs all of your favorite apps in a secure environment; if anyone ever attempts to compromise or steal the iBrain, it enters a lockdown mode until a trusted technician can restore your unit. It's just another part of why consumers love the iBrain ecosystem.

Of course, recording your thoughts is only a fraction of the power we could be harnessing with iBrain. When you log in, your most-recent memories will get synchronized with the cloud, and are catalogued on-device in a trusted compute environment. This makes it simple to collect and share your thoughts, whether it's with your iPad or friends online. Your ideas go places, and we want to appreciate that with the architecture of iBrain.

We just know that consumers will love the iBrain. Our focus groups can't get enough of it, and we can't wait to open for pre-orders this September.

You could record memories then because of generative ai you could relive them making different decisions constantly second guessing everything in your life. Then you stream this all on twitch.

Will you need it to do banking, drive a car, file taxes, and travel throughout your region?

Without in head advertising until the product is established.

I like your generous qualification there.

Seems to be the normal playbook.

The tech industry has shown itself to be untrustworthy with our data, and our attention, so no.

Black Mirror series 7 episode "Common People" shows such a future which I believe would not be far off the actual experience.

The details matter. Will it hurt? Is it subsidized and will be more expensive later or the other way around? How's the latency? What killer apps? Is it under health privacy laws or typical internet privacy laws? What likely side effects are there besides laziness?

It does sound useful. Like go to the mall, look at a keyboard, immediately search up the reviews, then the price elsewhere, sort by nearby. Or in an interview or during a meeting, just search the answer on the spot.
