@paoloardoino Question: Who verifies that the brain OS is actually open-source and hasn’t been tampered with? 👀

@paoloardoino Calling your Brain controlling device "BlackRock" isn't dystopian at all. Be sure to call your next product Goldman Sachs. /s

NEURALINK IS BUILDING TECH YOU CONTROL WITH YOUR MIND Neuralink’s PRIME Study is testing a fully implantable, wireless brain-computer interface to let people with quadriplegia control devices just by thinking. The implant, hidden under the skin, decodes brain activity to let users operate computers or smartphones with pure intention—no wires, no physical movement. This global study aims to enhance computer control for those with spinal cord injuries or ALS. Source: Neuralink

🇺🇸 THAT SPECIAL MOMENT A NEURALINK PATIENT MOVED THE CURSOR WITH HIS MIND AFTER PARALYSIS A 29-year-old paralyzed man used Neuralink’s brain implant to play online chess and move a computer cursor—just by thinking. In a livestream on X, The implant, invisible once placed, reads brain signals and translates them into digital movement. Neuralink received FDA approval last year, and Arbaugh is the first known test subject. “It has already changed my life,” he added. No side effects have been reported. Neuralink now races against competitors to bring brain-computer tech to the mainstream. Source: Wired, Interesting Engineering, Neuralink, Noland Arbaugh

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: HUMAN BRAIN IMPLANTS ARE NOW FULLY FUNCTIONAL "We're going to solve a lot of brain issues, where the brain gets injured or damaged in some way, or didn’t develop quite the right way. What we’re creating with Neuralink is a generalized input-output technology for the brain, a way to get information into or out of the brain, without damaging it or causing negative side effects. This is a very hard problem. Every single one of our implants in humans is working, and working quite well. You’ll get to hear from some of the people who’ve received the implants, in their own words." Source: Neuralink

Neuralink patients are literally playing multiplayer games with their minds The Neuralink implant has given them a second chance, restoring independence they had lost PRIME Study participants with the brain-computer interface are already transforming lives, offering people with paralysis new possibilities. It’s incredible to see this early-stage technology delivering results that feel straight out of a sci-fi movie Imagine a world where Neuralink helps us unlock new potentials, bridging humans and machines to enhance knowledge, communication, and ability We truly stand on the brink of a human cyborg era, where technology and humanity unite to expand what it means to be alive This is just the beginning, and the impact is already profound. Neuralink offers a future where our limits may be redefined, making the impossible possible

THIS IS FUCKING INSANE🤯😳 Israel is developing one of the most advanced brain-controlled exoskeletons in the world, allowing paralyzed people, including wounded soldiers, to walk again using only their thoughts. Israeli researchers at Tel Aviv University and neurotech teams have created a system combining a next-generation robotic exoskeleton with a non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI). Some of the largest and most high profile robotics, technology, semiconductor and AI companies from Israel and the United States are involved in this research and project. The patient wears a lightweight EEG headset that reads brain signals in real time and translates them instantly into natural leg, arm and hand movements. No crutches, no buttons, just thought-controlled walking, standing, and stair climbing with AI adaptation. Early trials are showing patients regaining voluntary control and more natural gait. Human trials are advancing rapidly. This isn’t science fiction anymore. It’s Israeli innovation giving hope and independence back to those who sacrificed so much. Proud every single day. 🇮🇱 #BrainComputerInterface #ThoughtControlledExoskeleton #IsraelInnovation #IDF #StartupNation

NEURALINK’S QUIET REVOLUTION: FROM THOUGHT TO TOTAL DEVICE DOMINION Elon detonated a new reality. “Any device that can be controlled via computer or phone can be controlled by a Neuralink implant.” That means everything... cars, drones, even your lights, could soon obey a thought. Neuralink confirmed it: current trial patients are already operating robotic arms using pure brain signals, and expansion to everyday devices is next. The secret lies in Neuralink’s 1,024 ultra-thin electrodes. Each thread is thinner than a hair yet capable of reading and writing neural activity with stunning precision. They don’t just record, they translate intention into action. Compared to Synchron’s vein-based stentrode, which passively listens from blood vessels, Neuralink sits directly on the motor cortex, capturing data with far greater fidelity and speed.

Elon Musk says people with Neuralink brain chips will eventually "be able to have full-body control and sensors from a Tesla Optimus robot, so you could basically inhabit an Optimus robot. Not just the hand, the whole thing. You could mentally remote into an Optimus robot. The future is gonna be weird, but pretty cool."

Neuralink’s new approach inserts ultra-thin electrode threads directly through the intact dura and into the cortex....without cutting the dura open This is a huge surgical milestone The dura is the tough protective membrane covering the brain. Normally, reaching the cortex means cutting through that layer....one of the most delicate steps in brain surgery This could make BCI surgery: • Less invasive • More precise • More repeatable • Easier to scale • Safer for future patients The participant was controlling a cursor with their thoughts within an hour of surgery, with recovery progressing as expected This is a major step toward bringing brain-computer interfaces to people who have lost the ability to move, communicate, or interact with the world normally
