#Orebro #schoolshoting latest from police conference:

- the shooter had one of elon musk brain implants
- large amount of commands sent to implant before and during the shooting

@patrickcmiller , you probably would not have boosted this article on infosec.exchange if you don't see any other drawbacks (like I do), so for other readers:

Such implants may also replace Star Trek's holodeck, and let you have fun (the porn industry and their customers will *love* it).

OTOH, considering arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20 - what if your're arrested (for whatever reason) and you happen to have an RJ-45 connector in your head?

What if, during a job interview, your're told that a -one-way- "mind meld" is a non-negotiable requirement?

What if "correct" thoughts can be uploaded to your brain (or is "downloaded" more appropriate)? And/or "bad" thoughs can be deleted or overwritten?

I see advantages for disabled people, but this technology mostly scares the hell out of me.
