alt Hacker NewsI'm gonna predict biotech. Implanted chips that let you interact with LLMs directly with your brain. Chips that allow you to pay for stuff by waving your hand at a sensor. Fully hands-free videoconferencing on the go. As with blockchain and current LLMs, not something I fancy spending any time with, but people will call it the next step towards some kind of tech utopia.

You've been able to do that relatively cheaply for at least a decade. Nobody really does because the market for even minor surgeries that can essentially be replaced by having a pocket is pretty small.
Implanted neural interfaces have a lot of technical challenges that I think make them extremely unlikely as purely elective procedures in anything like the immediate future. AR glasses are way more plausible.
