How advanced, or what types of advancement, would it take to convince you to get a cybernetic brain implant in the future?

-Substantially improves a major disability (blindness, paralysis, brain damage, etc)

-Boosts sensory abilities beyond normal (eyesight, hearing, etc).

-Boosts IQ or some other meaningful metric of intelligence and computation, thereby increasing your competitiveness in multiple fields. Becomes basically necessary for some fields due to many others doing it.

-Lets you enter VR with all five senses in a way that feels like 80-90% realistic but can be any environment/context. People make increasingly awe-inspiring virtual experiences/worlds, only accessible this way.

-Substantially increases the bandwidth with which you can interface with computers. Like, lets you download a ton of info quickly.

Much different decision tree depending on disability.

If I’m crippled in some way and it helps majorly, then I’m in. But only if I’m physically incapable of moving.

A chip would be amazing and I’d be happy to be a ghost in the machine.

If I’m a fully capable human, then zero chance.

Mind control today is done through the media and social, imagine the implications if you allow them literally into your brain.
