For now, BCIs like mine are output-only. They don’t generate input in the brain. They simply read neural signals and turn them into actions — like controlling a computer with your mind. In the future, I do think BCIs will be able to generate input into the brain. We... show more

Noland, your question gets to the core—what does it mean to be human if we can feed signals into the brain? My view: enhance fully (faster thought, restored senses, true AI partnership), but never override the sacred core—dreams, raw emotion, that quiet inner “I.” Symbiosis, not surrender. We stay pilots🤩

I’m so intrigued can you feel it running or is it just coexisting? Oh thank you for sharing your story with the public. Many blessings. ❤️❤️💯🙏

You know, I get that question a lot. And the truth is I never feel my chip. I often forget its there 🤣

Lirael Grace “gLiTch of GoOdNeSs”9 months ago

That’s rad! I had the cataract surgery on both eyes last year and I forget there are not mine except on real sunny days then they suck but… so I was just so curious. Thank you for the reply. You should make an FAQ and pin it to your profile of all your most common questions that would be rad! Best of fortune. ❤️💯🙏

We need to take a serious look at this overall. The answer is not so difficult as it first appears IF one accepts the concept that GOD is in ALL things and sees ALL of creation as ONE. It is a lot more difficult for humans to accept this than it will be for AI and Optimus.

This has ship of Theseus vibes. If our ancestors 10,000 years ago saw us roll in on a helicopter rocking night vision goggles, they might not think we were human.

When we sleep, we limit inputs (close eyes, quiet room, etc). How do we turn off a chip?

Maybe amour all the infinite possibilities we chose to love, notice nuances, to love them anyway; to be able to develop an discover personality; adorabilities. I think Love is what makes us human in our intelligent capacities but our memories. ❤️

Bi-directional BCi has been possible for some time. The reading is better than computer writing/controlling a human but it does exist. See my highlights tab. Even Altman is trying for sound/electromagnetic/gene BCi. A criminal signals only system uses TCDC, TMS, AVE sound, semiotics & lucid dreaming. Sadly DUAL-USE of electronic health device may have made results easier as a result of a lack of ethics. It can produce a result like an opposite of the useful legitimate device flow neuroscience for treating depression. Unfortunately if we can produce good med tech another can produce the reverse. I wish you & your provider well.

Financial Oligarchy Marches Us To Nuclear War Lawrence Wilkerson: It’s almost as if, Glenn, there are people who want a global conflict. I hate to say that, but it looks like some financiers—the Rothschilds, the J.P. Morgans, the Medicis, those types—are fomenting it and won’t be satisfied until they get it. I think there will be very heavy, deep recriminations if they do, because this will not be fun for anyone. You won’t be able to go into the market, ride in and out, and make fortunes off this. At its most profound level, you’re looking at a nuclear exchange—then a large nuclear exchange. As Ronald Reagan came to realize in the latter part of his second term, we don’t want this, because it’s the end of the human race. That’s it. We’re walking down a very dangerous road right now. And what troubles me most is that, in my country—in the empire—we’re walking down it with fools. Absolute fools. And I don’t just mean one or two. I mean a whole horde of them—from Hegseth and his Christianity, to Trump and his grifting, to Gabbard and her lack of courage, to Bessent and his disdain for children dying. You name it.

Trump: I will not be abandoning the farmers. We are strong on the borders and for the farmers and others in the hotel industry. We have similar situations and Kristi and I will be working with the states and we will work something where the farmers and be responsible. They have had people around for 10 or 15 years and they know them well, we will put them responsible, and issue a form of card or documents and the farmer will be responsible for these people. They will not have citizenship but they will be working and paying taxes. We need to get our farmers the people they need or else the farmers will not be able to do their land. It was tried when there was a very strong guy, and he got everybody out, and every farm almost in the country but every farm in California or Iowa went bankrupt and they had nobody to work and we do not want that situation. We will put our farmers and others in charge of the people that they have under them. They know the people and it will work out well. We will take care of our farmer but to get the criminals out. Go ahead.

Elon Musk on Grok: “I think an AI that is sort of SpaceX’s baby will be a very good AI. I think SpaceX is a collection of some of the very best humans on Earth, both in capability and morality and goodness, and I think we want to have an AI that is born of that capability and that morality and that goodness. I think that’s very, very important. So I’d like to encourage people to help out, actually, with the AI hardware on the ground and the AI software and, of course, with the AI satellites. Solar is going to be a very important part of that. The TerraFab will be a very important part of that, but we must also succeed on the software front, and we’re going to be training Grok on the sum total of all SpaceX information. So in a way, it will be trained on you. You will effectively be the parents of the AI. It will inherit your thoughts and ideas and beliefs, and I think that’s a good thing. So, yeah, we’ve got to win here on the AI hardware and the AI software. That maybe is the most important message. I think that is actually the most important message I wanted to convey today is that we must win on AI because the future is overwhelmingly AI and robots. So we won’t ultimately be able to control the AI. It’ll be too smart for that. But just like if you have a child that is a super genius child, you can still instill in that child the values and beliefs that you think are good and right. And so that’s why it’s incredibly important that we succeed with Grok. So, yeah, well, Grok 4.5 you’ve tried probably. We’ve got 4.6 coming out in about a week. And then 4.7 should be really pretty special. So I’d like to encourage everyone at SpaceX to use AI and to make it better.”

I'll tell it like it is: they're lying. Robots are getting better and better, and the goal now is not to support human labor, as suggested in the video, but in the long term they will replace human labor. In a market economy, profit is the only thing that counts, whether you like to criticize that or not. The fact is, however, that robots will be cheaper than human labor and will therefore be preferred. Moreover, robots are getting better and better, they will work longer hours than humans, are less prone to errors, do not fall ill and do not need vacations. They are superior to human labor.

🔥🚨BREAKING: Nectome The Portland Oregon tech company that Sam Altman is on the waitlist for since 2016 to kill him so they can upload his Brian to the internet which would allow him to live forever just confirmed that they have successful reanimated a dead pig’s brain meaning they are about to be ready to take human brains like Sam Altman’s and upload their consciousness online. An entire mammalian brain has been successfully preserved using a technique that will now be offered to people who are terminally ill. The intention is to preserve all the neural information thought necessary to one day reconstruct the mindof the person it once belonged to. Borys Wróbel at Nectome: “They would need to donate their brain and body for scientific research,” in Portland, Oregon, a research company focused on memory preservation. “But what we are offering, as a company, is for their body and brain to be kept, essentially indefinitely, in the hope that sometime, in the future, it would be possible to read out the information from the brain and reconstruct the person… to allow them to continue, in effect, with their life.”
