The red valve is a satellite dish for receiving thoughts from the Gabe mind.

I love this timeline ... let's build a neurochip to interface with the human brain ... so that we can make more money

What could go wrong?

Honestly, Gabe's probably doing it because he wants one for himself (and doesn't trust fucking Elon to do it). That's a lot of what powers his decisions. That's how we ended up with the steam deck too.

Medtronics has been trying to implant devices into brains for decades and they all fail because they move, the human brain has the consistency of a firm custard.

My favourite description of the human brain is that since it is mostly made of fat ... it is the consistancy of soggy raw bacon

Gabe is speedrunning the Musk campaign… 😮‍💨

Just another billionaire to add to the chopping block

Oh yay we get to watch the race as to which billionaire eventually gets to put chips on our brains.
