They're a bit more like gacha summons if you ask me. You pull, hoping to catch a rare one with an interesting or limited-time skill set, and usually get disappointed with the sheer mass of sub-meta mediocrity.
That is possible - insertion of the implant through the eye socket would be preferable to drilling a fucking hole in the skull.
Although I don't see it as likely in the case of your examples.
This assumes you are somehow less of a fool than he is.
There are two questions to ask. First - does he believe Prometheus would be pleased with worship from humans?
Second - even if the serpent of eden was responsible for prompting us to gain knowledge, IF this was done via way of deception, was it still the morally correct thing to do?
You're going to be the fool if you show up spouting religious dogma and can't actually understand what they are saying.
People with ample resources to afford pre-market technologies who are not in critical positions. [Celebrity] freaked out and died on a drug overdose is an extremely easy cover story.
The only other explanations I have for the prevalence if black left eyes is some manner of initiation ceremony or rite, or some baseline neurological response that protects the dominant eye and will favor injury to the non-dominant eye if injury is unavoidable.
Shadow run. Here's the cybernetics… Now we just need the comet to bring magic so that there is a reason to remain human.
Although I have already taken the AI into account. True AI - what these people are calling "AI" are algorithms. Very limited things.
On one hand - the potential of this technology is absolutely fascinating. On the other hand… How the fuck do you make sure it is really turned off when you want it to be? I can walk away from the computer or put down my phone (addiction patterns aside). I can't even take the battery out of my phone, these days, without performing rocket surgery on the thing. Somehow, I suspect these brain implants will be just as "proprietary" and most of the "features" will be 'tuned by experts' so that 'no guesswork' is necessary.
