    In the very bright future ahead, your neural implant will immediately alert the police the moment you try to operate a dust covered computer or old handheld smartphone so they can be confiscated. No personal computing allowed. Only terrorists and psychopaths run software on hardware they own, they’ll say, and doing so makes you suspect.

      The tv show dune prophecy has a subplot about not using intelligent machines due to the risk of losing control. It was before the general anxiety about AI. I wonder if they will lean into that. A big part of the plot is also about tracking everyone via their dna and prompting outcomes based on that knowledge.
