  @kasdeya  @kasdeya I misremember the exact quote but during uni we had a module on transhumanism during which the professor stated “any technology that we install into our bodies must be free and open or else it will be used to subjugate.” Their words ring true every time an implant company goes bankrupt leaving patients with bricked implants nobody else will support. > Their words ring true every time an implant company goes bankrupt leaving patients with bricked implants nobody else will support. holy shit this has happened? more than once? @kasdeya this is the most recent I remember. It’s only going to continue happening unless regulated: https://www.theverge.com/2022/2/16/22937198/bionic-eye-company-defunct-ieee-spectrum-go-read-this  @kasdeya @carbontwelve Both made good products. Ventracore's financial leadership went wonk. Telectronics had a scary but uncommon malfunction widely covered in the media. |
@kasdeya Someone suggested that trans folk should gain more magic when using tech to switch genders because they would be more in sync with their new bodies than the old ones, and I think that's awesome.
