I know, I know, one man's dystopia is another man's utopia, and it's certainly easier to have a negative take on something than a positive one. But I struggle to accept that anyone could not feel a sense of disquiet upon hearing that you can now rent a human "brain organoid" for "realtime neural stimulation and reading".
No, this isn't the dream futurism of some techno-optimist, these in vitro "organoids" are actually available to rent right now from FinalSpark's Neuroplatform (via Tom's Hardware), FinalSpark being a wetware computing company.
