Brain chip tech makes me uneasy.

Despite being a bit of a boomer when it comes to using tech, I ain't no Luddite. I'm often optimistic about the potential of disruptive new innovations' ability to be positive for humanity in the long term. The advancement of tech has, by and large, been hugely beneficial to living standards and experience, I expect that trend to continue, and I get excited for humanity about what tech's future holds.

That said, the news that Neuralink implanted a brain chip in a human for the first time last night makes me incredibly uneasy.

I think there's some potential danger from AI, though I ain't all that worried about the LLM stuff. But the brain chip thing provokes an immediate emotional response. The rejection isn't as much a considered rational one as much as an instinctively fearful "nuh-uh".
