That’s fair. That’s honestly the optimal use case. But with how fast technology tends to advance I suspect this will get marketed as “everyone should get one and you’re basically Amish if you don’t” before you know it (even if China’s socialist government has regulations on how companies can market stuff, we Westerners don’t and it’s a matter of time until some Western techbro company contracts this into the next gadget people will judge you for not having.)
People already judge me for being in the tech industry and refusing to use whatever latest app/service that’s going viral because I know how easily untrusted software can fuck you over.
I mean if I was paralyzed I’d take my chances with the chip.

Yeah, I expect it’s going to be rolled out a lot more sanely in China than it will be in the west.
