.Science Corporation’s retinal prosthesis helped patients who couldn’t recognize faces read full eye charts and do crossword puzzles. That progress will help fund a bio-hybrid neural interface that grows like an Avatar-style “new cranial nerve” for high-bandwidth communication.

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.

Ginkgo Bioworks CEO Jason Kelly explains how "cloud-style" automated science labs can create "millions of scientists" by democratizing access to experimentation: “Science is the formalization of human curiosity. The reason everyone doesn't do science today is that you're blocked by the cost and expense of all the physical infrastructure.” “If it was available cloud-style, for example, how many people would want to be doing science? Maybe they have a health condition they want to study themselves, maybe they have a new idea for a material, maybe they're a gardener and they want to make a new plant variety?” “I know that sounds crazy, but I'll tell you something else that sounded crazy. In 1960, if you said random, average people will program computers, that sounded insane.” "The model’s ability to access literature and be smart and tell you how to turn your question into an experiment—and then the autonomous labs that could do that experiment for you in the cloud—means we'll have millions of scientists, just like we have millions of programmers now as we made it easier."

"In the future, you won't need any software at all. The neural network will completely replace it." - stephen balaban, co-founder of Lambda "Here's the idea: instead of generating a program, just go to ChatGPT and say, 'Hi, please behave like a calculator or a spreadsheet.'" "'Generate an ASCII user interface for me. And I want you to essentially just respond, implement the logic of that program in your mind.'" "This is what I call neural software. Normal software is really brittle. 'Neural software' can't have bugs, only misunderstandings." "Large language models will be the software you interact with."

"We should do what the FDA has said they're doing: legalize several of the category 2 peptides that have the strongest safety and efficacy signals." — Max Marchione "Because that reduces net harm for patients and increases net benefit, even if pharma doesn't like it because they're not making money from their $100,000 biologic drug anymore." "When new data and new science come along, and there's a dangerous gray market, we need to accept that the times have changed and adapt the regulation."

Neural interfaces, in the form of wristbands. "The neural interface aspect is almost like mind control," Zuck explained. You won't have to physically control anything; Meta's wristbands will be able to read your mind and do things for you. Here's how this works:

Excited to launch a new podcast dedicated to conversations on the future of neurotech, computing, intelligence, and more. First guest: Max Hodak founder & CEO of Science Corporation, which is building PRIMA, a retinal prosthetic that’s restoring meaningful vision for patients with blindness caused by age-related macular degeneration. Science is also developing a biohybrid brain implant that grows living neurons directly onto a silicon chip, then interfaces that system with the cortex. The possibility space here is vast and new. Imagine growing new areas of the brain. Sections 00:00 What counts as neurotech? 01:45 History of brain-computer interfaces and the smartphone dividend 07:25 PRIMA - How Science is restoring vision in blind patients 10:10 Why stimulating bipolar cells works when the optic nerve doesn't 30:30 Are we bottlenecked by biology or engineering? 32:40 Expanding the brain's bandwidth beyond 10 bits per second 37:00 Can we add new areas to the brain? 37:46 Biohybrid BCIs: neurons growing on a chip 39:20 What could neural augmentation look like? 01:13:20 How Science drives Fast R&D 01:44:00 How founders learn and level up This is the kind of discussion I’m excited to explore on this podcast. Enjoy! Full Episode 1 here and in links below.

Dr. Asim Yousaf confirms Imran Khan has central retinal vein occlusion, a serious eye condition that can cause permanent vision loss. Although an eye injection was administered, test results are missing, there is no evidence of review by a retinal specialist, no clear follow-up plan, and no assessment of underlying medical causes. Dr. Yousaf warns that Khan is not out of danger and urgently calls for access for himself and qualified retinal specialists to ensure proper treatment. #FreeImranKhan #AsimLaw

John: I was thinking about how 'AUM-weighted slop' isn't an excuse for slop. If you put 1% of your fund into startups that are like "We're the craziest and most degenerate companies," if that 1% gets 1000x more views than the other 99%, you'll be known as the slop fund.

I’m starting a new series where I share a chart each day that will help calm climate anxiety. The point of sharing these is to show the average person that the science around climate change is complex and it is not an end-of-the-world scenario. These charts are ones I’ve saved over the years, that have helped me understand what the mainstream media does not cover. The more I’ve dug into the science and the models that have not come true, the more I’ve realized climate change is a totally adaptable problem, that humans can more than handle!

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who got the scoop on John Ternus's new gig as Apple CEO, explains why he thinks Ternus will do "a hell of a job" in his new role: "He has product sensibilities that Tim Cook simply doesn't have. He has product decision-making ability that Tim Cook certainly has, but wouldn't utilize because he himself knows that product-based decisions are not where he could have the most impact." "Just like Tim Cook really oversaw the operations part of Apple as CEO and left product development to other members of the executive team, my expectation is that John Ternus will be intimately involved with the product side of the organization as he was in his prior role to CEO. And will leave the operational side to people like Sabih Khan and Priya Balasubramaniam — the people who run the operations division at Apple." "He's going to pick his spots, and his spots are hardware and product development. There's a reason that when he chose his successor for the hardware engineering organization, he chose Tom Marieb. He's not an innovator, but he's an incredible execution guy when it comes to hardware engineering and product quality. Ternus did that because his belief is that he will still be intimately involved and still be that product visionary for Apple in this new chief executive position."
