If I could have direct interface with my devices...

All at the low low cost of never being able to separate yourself from the grid again.

Also, what happens when a solar flare hits and fucks your brain up?

"Surely father Musk will have every contingency in place, he is the real life Ironman after all."

By the way, could I perhaps interest you in NFTs? They're very valuable, I promise.

You are not connected to a grid, by having electrodes measure potential differences in your brain. If the chip (outside of your brain) were to malfunction, then the interface would simply no longer work. big deal. you replace it.

Again, wtf do you think a brain inplant is?

If you don't see something wrong with all of this then you must just not value your health all that much.
