In theory if you could control a body's immune system you could use it to target cancer cells or any disease really. That being said given that the immune system doesn't take direct orders from the brain it would probably have to be done in an indirect way such as controlled antibodies. The concept is already done as personalized medicine, but that doesn't require cybernetic augmentation.
>how would it cure cancer?
Not alone, you have to wear a suit than takes blood samples every 10 minutes. If it detects cancer, it will hibernate your body and you will be put in a cryogenically frozen until a cure is found.

No I will not get the chip, I rather die if cancer then live with a tracking depression chip in my head for the rest of my life.
chuds are absolutely fricked in the real future that's coming
if you don't get chipped and augment your brain, you will become the new subhuman class too moronic to operate in the world in any meaningful way
if you do get chipped, they can read your thoughts remotely and punish you for wrongthink
they can already do this with non-invasive measures at limited scale with AI
your scenario would frick over everybody who isn't a sincere, honest to god 'progressive by the most extreme definition', it would accelerate them eating themselves

It's a magic device that can do anything. Surely Elon isn't just scamming morons. Also no, I will never put proprietary (probably not even FOSS) software in my head.
I can‘t decide as long as I am in that situation.
But it is interesting if I am to lie to myself, seeking a chance against death, when there isn‘t.
And even then, death remains the cure to every affliction.
It most certainly be a choice of regret to revolt against death.

Hey goy let me put a glorified sewing machine in your brain
No
Stop posting about musk in IQfy
how would it cure cancer?
Why do u Guys not want to be a cool cyborg
this is not gonna bring me any closer to irl adeptus mechanicus
>imagine wanting to be a walking iphone coded by troon and made by pajeet.
same way hyperlooop solved transportation
It just can okay, the science is settled, btw it'll only works if everyone take it, just like the vax.
What part of trusting the science don't you understand?

sounds like the brain chip wouldn’t really help contribute to curing cancer then, no?
Fake ai generated content
shut down the brain when telomerase activity (most cancers) is detected.
>how would it cure cancer?

If you die you won't have cancer
I probably already have cancer
No. I can't. Whoever wrote that article is moronic.
sounds like the key to getting a 2nd cancer to me

completely fricking OVER
Just go to the ripperdoc and get a patched chip, ya beav
Jailbroken chips are going to be amazing. Finally getting the good shit for our cyberpunk dystopia.

Who are these "experts"?

Unless experts are directly working on building the chips or working with patients that have them, they're not relevant to the discussion.

I love reading schizo fanfics.
Fasting is both the cure and the prevention for cancer, but everyone wants to buy a solution instead.
Spoiler alert: Brain chips will not cure cancer
lol I hadn't even read the article yet. How could anyone have possibly guessed?
