gollark: I mean, it's already approximately happening to all general purpose computers.
gollark: But assuming the horrible problems can somehow be avoided, BCIs and/or mind uploading could be highly cool.
gollark: I'd also worry that governments would insist on them having some overrides to stop people if they try murder or something (because murder is bad and if you disagree with this policy you're clearly pro-murder) which would then inevitably be expanded to other crimes and "crimes".

gollark: With the current state of software security I do *not* want brain implants.
