Oh, I didn't realise people would pay to do it - public fruit trees are fairly common in England. Apples and plums especially, but I've picked pears and cherries too, and there are even figs supposedly.
Have you played Nier Replicant? It's not as good of a game as Automata, but I think the the story is better. Getting all the endings is a bit repetitive since you have to replay a chunk with small changes, but it all pays off with ending E, which was added in the remaster. (ver.1.22474487139)
I would much rather having something like this than have a chunk of my skull removed like Musk is planning. I wonder how the performance would compare though, actual probes in the brain are going to be way more reliable than just picking up EMF or whatever this does.
