🚨 Elon Musk on Neuralink: "Neuralink is building brain computer interfaces. The first part is called telepathy, allows someone who has lost the use of their body to control a computer or a phone just by thinking. In fact, you can interact with a number of people who've done... this online. Right now, they're on on the 𝕏 platform, you can DM them, I think, and they'll reply by thinking. Then there's a second device, very similar to the first one, called BLINDSIGHT, which will enable people who are blind to see, including people who have been blind from birth. It'll interface directly with the visual cortex in the brain. And hopefully we'll be able to do the first blind site implant in a human within the next 12 months, I'd say I'm quite confident that we can do that. And then I also think it's quite likely, if not close to certain, that we'll be able to enable somebody who's has a severed spinal column to walk again, and by taking the signals from the brain, bridging them over the severed connection in the spine and re energizing the nerves past the point that's broken, like you can just think of it like some wires got broken, and if you can bridge the signals, your body will work again."show more

You don’t need more disconnected tools. You need a brain for your data. One that sees connections where you see chaos. One that thinks faster than you can. Imagine what your business could do with a data brain.

So amazing with that technology! Could be nice to try 💯

I've been sayin since long...... Elon's Neuralink is 'Godworks'. Its the most valuable.....most precious company ever to initiate into the medical field. God's own..... Elon's 👑👑👑👑👑

This is the kind of innovation that rewrites the future. Neuralink isn’t just about tech, it’s about restoring power to the human spirit. Giving speech back to the voiceless, sight to the blind, and motion to those who’ve been paralyzed isn’t science fiction anymore. It’s the next frontier. Total alpha move from Elon and the team rewiring reality with pure intention and precision.

This is the innovation Trump would’ve championed real progress for real people, not the swamp’s distractions. Elon’s got it right.

Elon Musk is right here. So many people are unaware of Neuralink, and how it’s going to change the lives of so many. In a new interview this morning: "Neuralink is creating a cybernetic interface to AI from your brain. It has enabled people who have completely lost their brain-body connection to speak again (phone, computer). We believe it will enable people to walk again. Let’s say someone had a severe spinal injury, you can transmit those signals to a second neural implant, and reanimate the body so people can use their limbs. We think at some point, live a normal life by effectively bridging the signals from the brain to past the point in the spine where the damage has occurred. Later this year, we expect to do our first implant for Blindsight. Where even if someone has lost both eyes, or the optic nerve, or perhaps if they were blind at birth, it will give them initially limited vision, but over time, very precise vision. Perphaps Superhuman." We should be talking about this more.

ELON: NEURALINK’S TELEPATHY ENABLES YOU TO CONTROL ALMOST ANYTHING BY THINKING “Our first product, we call it Telepathy, enables the person with a Neuralink implant to control their phone or computer just by thinking. Once you can control your phone or computer, you can essentially control almost anything, literally just by thinking. There's no eye tracking or anything. It is purely your thoughts. This is really quite a profound device that can help a lot of people who have lost the connection between their brain and body. Imagine if people like Stephen Hawking could communicate at the same speed as someone who still had the connection to their brain and body. It's really something that can help millions of people around the world.” Neuralink update, July 10, 2024

“The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see. Provided the visual cortex is intact, it will even enable those who have been blind from birth to see for the first time. Neuralink Device threads will go through the dura, without the need to remove it. This is a big deal. With Neuralink implant interfacing directly to the visual cortex, even those who are completely blind will be able to see again. Computer vision will be limited at first, like early computer graphics but ultimately will exceed the best human eyes.” — Elon Musk

Elon Musk: As we advance the Neuralink devices, you should be able to actually have full body control and sensors from an Optimus robot So you could basically inhibit an Optimus robot. It's not just the hand, but the whole thing. So you could like basically mentally remote into an Optimus robot and be kind of cool. The future is gonna be weird, but pretty cool And then another thing that could be done also is like for people that have say lost a limb, lost an arm or leg or something like that, then we think in the future we'll be able to attach an Optimus arm or legs and so you kind of like I remember that scene from a Star Wars where Luke Skywalker gets his hand, you know, chopped off with a lightsaber and he gets kind of a robot hand And I think that's the kind of thing that we'll be able to do in the future working with Neuralink and Tesla. So it goes far beyond just operating a robot hand, but replacing limbs and having kind of a whole body robot experience. And then I think another thing that will be possible like I think it's very likely in the future is to be able to bridge the where the damaged neurons So you can take the signal from the brain and and transmit that signal past where the neurons are damaged or strained to the rest of the body, so you could reanimate the body. So that if you have a Neuralink implant in the brain and then one in the spinal cord, then you can actually bridge the signals and you could walk again and have full body functionality Obviously that's what people would prefer. To be clear, we realize that would be the preferred outcome. And so that even if you have a broken neck, you could still we believe I'm actually at this point I'd say fairly confident that at some point in the future we'll be able to restore full body functionality

I think some kind of brain-machine interface that can give you cybernetic superpowers is probably good. It could help people that have brain or spine injuries, restore, enable people who've never spoken for years to speak again, which we've done, give people eyesight who have lost both eyes or the optic nerve, or maybe have never even seen at all blind from birth. By direct interface to the optical centers in the brain, you can actually restore eyesight or give people eyesight that they've never had before, and you can enable people to walk again, which I think is profound. I mean, these are kind of Jesus-level things.

Elon Musk says the vast majority of brain diseases are ultimately fixable with a Neuralink device "If you think of the brain like a computer, effectively like a circuit board, you can say if there were some short circuits or some circuits that should be there but aren't, we can fix those Basically, it's kind of like fixing a circuit board. The vast majority of brain issues, I think, are fixable with a Neuralink device. It’s a fine-grained way of reading and writing electrical signals in the brain at high precision If there’s an electrical storm like epilepsy, you can interrupt that storm. In the case of blindness, if somebody's lost their optic nerve or both eyes, you can still stimulate the visual cortex Anything that is a function of signals in or out, if that is the nature of the problem, it can be fixed ultimately with a Neuralink device."

So, you wanna have a device that you can basically put in your head and feel and look totally normal, but it solves some important problem in your brain or spine. And the reality is that almost everyone, over time, will develop brain and spine problems. These range from minor to very severe, but if you live long enough, everyone's gonna basically have some kind of neurological disorder, from memory loss to brain damage. But the thing that's important to appreciate is that an implantable device can actually solve these problems. I think a lot of people don't quite realise that, but all of your senses, your sight, hearing, feeling, pain, these are all electrical signals sent by neurons to your brain.”

And we can actually give someone superhuman cyborg capabilities, like The 6 Million Dollar Man, for less than $6M, even in this day and age. I mean, $6M back then was a fortune. These days, it’s like nothing. But for much less than that, I mean, for something that would be reasonably affordable, it might be more like a $60,000-type thing.

Ilya Sutskever explains why AI will do 100% the work that human can do within few years. "Slowly but surely, or maybe not so slowly, AI will keep getting better. The day will come when AI will do all of our, all the things that we can do, not just some of them, but all of them. Anything which I can learn, anything which any one of you can learn, the AI could do as well. How do we know this, by the way? How can I be so sure? How can I be so sure of that? The reason is that all of us have a brain, and the brain is a biological computer. That's why we have a brain; the brain is a biological computer. So why can't the digital computer, a digital brain, do the same things? This is the one-sentence summary for why AI will be able to do all those things: because we have a brain, and the brain is a biological computer." --- Full Video on 'University of Toronto' YT Channel (link in comment)

Elon Musk just stripped away every emotional narrative around paralysis and reduced it to a pure engineering equation. The human nervous system is not mystical. It is a biological wiring grid. When a wire breaks, you build a bypass. Traditional medicine treats a severed spinal cord as a permanent biological endpoint. Musk treats it as a broken routing switch. Musk: “It’s basically a communications bridge. You bridge the communications from the motor cortex past the point in the neck or spine where the nerves are damaged.” Not a miracle. Not a mystery. A bridge. Musk: “It is possible from a physics standpoint to restore full body functionality. There is nothing that prevents it happening from a physics standpoint.” The physics already check out. This is not a question of possibility. It is a question of execution speed. We are building AGI by mastering computational physics in silicon. Neuralink is applying that same mastery to carbon. The human body is not a sacred text. It is a machine. And machines can be patched. But this is bigger than medicine. Humanity’s ability to interface with superintelligence is currently bottlenecked by thumbs typing on a glass screen. Neuralink is the solution to that constraint dressed as a medical device. If you can bridge the brain past a broken spine, you can bridge the brain to a data center. Healing the paralyzed is step one. Merging with superintelligence is the endgame. Musk: “It’s a very hard technical problem, right, but there is nothing that prevents it happening from a physics standpoint.” Somewhere right now, a person is sitting in a wheelchair. An engineer is sitting in a lab. Neither knows the other exists. But one of them is quietly rewriting the definition of permanent. And it isn’t the one in the wheelchair.

Elon Musk: The ultimate purpose of Neuralink is to reduce the existential risk of digital superintelligence by giving humans a way to merge with AI. “There's, I think, a tremendous amount of good that Neuralink can do in solving critical damage to the brain or the spinal cord. There's a lot that can be done to improve quality of life of individuals, and those will be steps along the way. And then ultimately, it's intended to address the risk, the existential risk associated with digital superintelligence. Like, we will not be able to be smarter than a digital supercomputer. So therefore, if you cannot beat them, join them. And at least we want to have that option. [...] It's important that Neuralink solve this problem sooner rather than later, because the point at which we have digital superintelligence, that's when we pass singularity, and things become just very uncertain. It doesn't mean that they're necessarily bad or good, but the point at which we pass singularity, things become extremely unstable. So we want to have a human brain interface before the singularity, or at least not long after it, to minimize existential risk for humanity and consciousness as we know it.” Lex Fridman Podcast, November 12, 2019

There's a lot that can be done to improve quality of life of individuals, and those will be steps along the way. And then ultimately, it's intended to address the risk, the existential risk associated with digital superintelligence. Like, we will not be able to be smarter than a digital supercomputer. So therefore, if you cannot beat them, join them. And at least we want to have that option. [...] It's important that Neuralink solve this problem sooner rather than later, because the point at which we have digital superintelligence, that's when we pass singularity, and things become just very uncertain. It doesn't mean that they're necessarily bad or good, but the point at which we pass singularity, things become extremely unstable. So we want to have a human brain interface before the singularity, or at least not long after it, to minimize existential risk for humanity and consciousness as we know it.” Lex Fridman Podcast, November 12, 2019

ELON: IF YOU CAN’T OUTSMART AI, JOIN IT - WITH NEURALINK “Neuralink, at first, will solve a lot of brain-related diseases. It could be anything from autism, schizophrenia, or memory loss. Everyone experiences memory loss at a certain point in age. There’s a tremendous amount of good that Neuralink can do in solving critical damage to the brain or the spinal cord.
