Reid Hoffman is backing a brain interface startup that uses ultrasound instead of implants. No surgery. Just frequency, steered by AI. The goal: treat everything from anxiety to dementia. The bet: AI will learn to read and write the brain.

anxiety is the subconscious alerting your conscious self something is wrong - no ultrasound gizmo can cure that

Shows complete ignorance of the brain. It operates on a predictive generative model. That is not simply hackable.

been using a neural interface a few years ago, still have it in a box somewhere. you can train it to read actions and it's pretty interesting. not super accurate, but early prototype. i think non-intrusive neural interfaces will be THE ramp to adoption. not everyone will want a chip in their brain.

Way to give people a real reason to invest in tin foil hats, @reidhoffman. The shear naïve presumption that such a thing would be used only for good, is just laughable.

This might be a really great idea, from what I understand TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) has some promising results

Max Hodak envisions a brain-computer interface inspired by Avatar: a living, high-bandwidth “13th cranial nerve.” Instead of implants, his team is grafting stem cell–derived neurons into the brain via hydrogel. A biological USB cable -- 100,000 electrodes, a billion synapses.

Trump just signed a directive to accelerate 6G deployment, with a stated goal to "OPERATE IMPLANTABLE TECHNOLOGIES." This likely involves a new paper-thin AI BRAIN CHIP known as the Biological Interface System to Cortex (BISC). I will NOT take the 6g AI brain chip.

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)

Dr. Daniel Amen (MIT study bombshell): Kids using AI to write papers show significantly less brain activity than those who do it themselves. It's like going to the gym and lifting 2 pounds instead of 25 — or just sitting on the couch eating Doritos. Your brain is a muscle: no work = atrophy. AI "help" = outsourcing your thinking = higher dementia risk down the line. 1:40 clip — wake-up call: Is AI quietly making us dumber? 👇 Your brain: Use it or lose it. Thoughts?

Ember is turning interpretability into neural programming. “Language models will deny they're conscious, but if you do brain surgery and turn up their consciousness neurons, they change their tune.” $50M raised to decode and rewrite the mind of AI itself.

President Trump recently signed a directive to accelerate 6G deployment, with a stated goal to "operate implantable technologies." This will likely involve an AI brain implant known as the Biological Interface System to Cortex (BISC) developed by Columbia, Stanford, and UPenn. Meanwhile, THOUSANDS of studies have already linked 5G and EMFs to DNA damage, oxidative stress, neurological injury, and cancer. I will NOT be taking the 6G AI brain chip.

6G AI BRAIN CHIP ROLLOUT IMMINENT China just approved the world’s first commercial brain chip. President Trump recently ordered the acceleration of 6G deployment with a goal to operate "IMPLANTABLE TECHNOLOGIES" Nokia's CEO says by 2030 "smartphones will be IMPLANTED DIRECTLY INTO OUR BODIES" as 6G becomes fully operational. I will NOT take the brain chip and merge my consciousness with AI to participate in society.

Sam Altman says OpenAI wants to be your core AI subscription, the default interface to intelligence. Not just ChatGPT, but new surfaces that feel more like operating systems. The goal isn't to dominate the app layer -- it’s to own the layer everything else builds on. “If you can make a better one… go ahead. That’d be great.”

OpenAI's Greg Brockman says the AGI future looks less like a monolith - and more like a menagerie of specialized agents. Models that call other models. “We're heading to a world where the economy is fundamentally powered by AI.” The goal is to unlock 10x more activity, output, and opportunity. AI lowers the barrier to entry. Domain expertise becomes leverage.

THIS GUY CONNECTED HIS AI AGENTS TO HIS OBSIDIAN AND BUILT A BRAIN THAT LEARNS ON ITS OWN. HERE'S HOW TO BUILD IT Obsidian is just markdown files sitting in a folder. That turns out to be the perfect memory for an AI agent, because an agent can read and write those files directly. He wired his agents into the vault so they pull context from it, do the work, and write what they learned back. The notes aren't the point. The loop is, and it gets sharper every cycle How to build it: 1. Point an agent at your vault. The fastest way, no plugins, no API keys: open a terminal and run npx obsidian-mcp /path/to/your/vault. That exposes your Obsidian folder to Claude as a tool it can read, search, and write to. Add it to your Claude Code or Cowork config and restart 2. Confirm it can see the brain. Ask it: "list the notes in my vault and summarize what's in them." If it reads them back, the connection is live. Now it starts every task with everything the vault already holds instead of from zero 3. Give each agent one job and a write-back rule. Tell it: "research this, then save what you found as a new note in /brain with links to related notes." One agent researches, one summarizes, one plans. Each writes its output back into the vault 4. Close the loop. Add one line to every agent's instructions: "read /brain before starting, write your result back when done." Now each task leaves the vault richer, and the next run reads that before it works. It compounds instead of resetting 5. You only steer. Review what the brain produces, point it at the next thing. The agents handle the reading, writing, and connecting The edge isn't better notes. It's a brain that feeds itself, so the work gets sharper every cycle instead of starting over Bookmark this
