No you are all misunderstanding. Like give me the 1950s popular science outcome not the privacy dystopia. We deserve better

I think you mean data sharing EUTOPIA!

Man if we truly share unadulterated data we are one step closer to eugenics. Sorely needed!

How would this chip communicate to you, and just you?

I would specifically educate a human for over 8 years after graduating High School, and demand he take an oath not to disclose my blood levels and chemicals, and then have him send them to me over the TOR network.

He would be a 'Diagnostic Overview Clinician for The Onion Router'

I'd call him a 'D.O.C.T.O.R.', and I would feel comfortable visiting whenever I felt sick

Why not, right? It's going to be convenient for them to track you down and kill you when you're social credit score drops below the useful level.

If the privacy were factored out, out of the equation. For sure

Decentralization.

Most don't realize man merging with machine is inevitable.
Like any tools man has ever invented, there will be drawbacks. However, progression is an inevitability. These sort of biomechanics will come to fruition.

This is not a matter of if. The trick is doing it correctly. As you've briefly conveyed, the transhumanism angle isn't all that terrible. In fact, it's necessary. Big faults we all share can and will be corrected by a progression of technology.

One of man's greatest follies is being too scared to accept the inevitable. Unfortunately, he all too often obsessed over what could go wrong.
The trick is to imagine what could go right. There will always be drawbacks. They should be dealt with as they come. Fear cannot prevent us from progressing.

Bruce Sterling wrote a bunch of short stories that covers this subject. I read them long ago back in high school. They are pretty good cyberpunk sci fi.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaper/Mechanist_universe

“The Shapers attempt to push the limits by manipulating the human body itself, through genetic modification and highly specialized psychological training. The Shapers are aristocratic, placing heavy emphasis on "gene-lines"—to be "unplanned" (i.e., born) is considered a serious disadvantage. Their methods could best be described as "organic". Shaper society, based around the Military-Academic complex, is described as fascist.

In contrast, the Mechanists have disdain for the Shapers' methods and instead prefer to use cybernetic augmentation, advanced computer software, technical expertise, and drugs to achieve their goals. The "Lobsters" are Mechanists who permanently seal their bodies into life-support shells allowing them to live and work in deep space. Some Mechanists even go as far as to become "wireheads"—individuals with no corporeal body who are simply manifested as computer simulations. The Mechanist philosophy favors individualism more than the collectivist Shapers.”
