But you can be a cyberpunk!
Dreams of a cyberpunk future where the sum total of the world's knowledge of any subject can be just a thought away
Most likely reality:
Popup ads are now intrusive thoughts. 40 percent of your implant's processing power is spent looking for cues in your environment to better serve you "curated content" (i.e. advertising). Knowledge is still somewhat freely available but just after this quick shout out to our sponsors.
When you're looking for something specific it's a coin toss whether you get actual knowledge or an AI hallucination and you can't tell the difference. You can pay $279.99/mo for premium access to verified sources, but if your licence expires you forget everything.
We really appreciate our loyal customers, but starting January 1 2025, We will be introducing a new Premium Plus tier of completely ad-free though with an added 3 human voices for your assistant for only $999.99 per month.
You will get a free week trial, and continue your current subscription at $279.99 per month now supported with ads.
