I have been designing microprocessors for 20 years.
You want to put a chip in your dog which is filled with toxic metals?
Its your right but I wouldn’t do it.
We didn’t even like workers touching dead wafers without gloves for fear of toxic metals.

Now try and use that chip to train your dog.
Oops, not enough power for the transmitter.
Now we have to implant a power supply.
Oops, battery is dead now we have to open him up and replace the battery.

Oh and the big Oops...
Someone has to build these chips and they are NOT going to do it for free.
They types of chips YOU are talking about are similar to the ones you get in talking greeting cards.
Cheap but they really don’t do anything technical.

To create a processor capable of doing what DARPA suggests would require a 500 person design team, 150 watts of power minimum and something to generate the power.
Plus a backpack to carry the power source.

Its NOT that this is impossible...it is impossible with existing technology and power is the one thing that hasn’t been fixed yet.
And its a big problem.

I didn't want to either. The problem is he's very strong from all the walks he takes me on, and when he pulls loose it's because he has a fantasy of belonging to a herd of deer. Last week, he followed interesting scents for miles until he collapsed. It is disturbing that the info about the dangers of "chipping" aren't divulged when it's done. For my guy, it's the only way to save him from his spirit of adventure.

As far as the rest, I wasn't addressing the weird stuff in the article, but what's already possible. Will that stuff happen someday? Who knows....there's so much going on in the world today that doesn't respect human life.
