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.

Cell phones are close enough without the medical risks of an implant nowadays.

There are obvious benefits to individuals as well as humanly in fixing any kind of mental illness and moving forward together technologically.

The major concerns for me are the medical risk and the ability to verify and understand the functionality of the implant.

I guess if it's FOSS, you could easily verify the code with your new brain instantly after its implanted 😂
