Yeah, every time something like that is mentioned, I just think of small issues that could cause noise on the output. Basically if you wear some device that helps you, either passive like glasses or active like a hearing aid, you can immediately disconnect then if needed. But imagine an implant bugs out and you start receiving a maximum signal for something without being able to stop. Like a blinding bright light which doesn't go away when you close your eyes. As much as the cyberpunk idea is fun, I'd have to really suffer without some implant to risk it.
- Terr_ 3y agoI wonder if it's possible to make a much simpler passive-only "mental stress detection" system, and use that as a kind of emergency stop (let's not call it a "kill switch" in this context) for any more-complicated augmentation. That creates the opposite risk that your enhancements stop working when you _want_ them in some kind of real/external emergency situation. I suppose it also wouldn't work in the case that the main augmentation caused, say, unending waves of paralyzing calm, although there could be another detection-gate for physiological signals to keep such people from starving/dehydration.
