The Hacker with Hardware Implants

Hello everyone,
I recently came across an intriguing interview with John Hammond, where he speaks with Len Noe, the first hacker with hardware implants. They dive into some fascinating topics, such as how identity verification might evolve in the future as traditional markers like voice and images become increasingly susceptible to artificial manipulation for various purposes—both good and bad. Noe also discusses what he can do with his implants, not just in terms of hacking but also more practical applications like multi-factor authentication (MFA) and other advantages.
The broader topic of transhumanism, the blending of humans and technology, is especially compelling and will likely play an even bigger role in the future.
One particularly striking example Noe shared is from Dr. Kevin Warwick, who implanted devices in his hands, allowing him to control a robotic hand in a different city. His wife also received implants, enabling them to feel each other’s hand movements remotely—a glimpse into the potential future of human augmentation. Overall, this interview was incredibly insightful, and I’m excited to dive into Len Noe’s upcoming book.
