Not necessarily a neuralink specifically, just any genre or type of cybernetic implants, if they were or will become available. I'm super hesitant on anything interfacing with my brain so I'd probably stay organic, except like if I lost my eyesight or hearing.

Yes, just seeing the headline was a yes - but yeah nothing for the brain, just robot arms and legs and eyes for now

    Out of curiosity, what advantages do you see yourself getting with robotic limbs? If I were to do a body part it would probably be spine for all around better body support.

    You know that nut and bolt that's in an incredibly stupid place and you'd need like 4 adapters and a swivel just to reach it but then you have to also hold the nut in place so you'd need pliers designed by Dr Seuss to be able to grip it without not getting in the way so you just tighten with the tips of your fingers in little wiggles and hope it will hold?

    Fuck that, my finger and thumb have the torque of an industrial impact wrench and I can disassembled a fucking train like I'm opening soda bottles.
