Neuralink promises to cure paralysis, blindness, and depression. There's just one catch: the software running inside your skull is proprietary. That means the terms of service for your own body can be updated by a corporation — at any time, without your consent.In this episode, we break down how brain-computer interfaces turn your body into a subscription service, why blocking neural ads could cost you the use of your left leg, and what happens to your consciousness when the company behind your implant goes bankrupt.Security experts already have a name for it: Brain Ransomware.
