Too bad I can't trust either the competence or intent of those with resources to create brain chips. Sorry teenaged me that desperately wanted true VR, but I'll probably decline it even if it becomes a thing.

I don't think I would even trust an open source version that I fully control. Either it would be a pain in the ass to maintain it or it would eventually have some major vuln discovered and lead to people being hacked. Too risky.
