It's a long read, but fascinating. The analogy of comparing the brain to a stadium of people cheering made it really easy to understand Neuralink's aims.
- org3432 7y agoOh god, that web page is in the format of a ranting crazy person. Is there a quicker explanation somewhere?

- Buge 7y agoMy idea of ranting crazy person's website doesn't have facebook share buttons and a popup asking me to subscribe to a newsletter. For reference, here are my ideas of a crazy person's website: http://timecube.2enp.com/ http://timecube.2enp.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20171002152147/http://templeos.org/ https://web.archive.org/web/20171002152147/http://templeos.o... https://web.archive.org/web/20180404034756/http://nasimabc.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20180404034756/http://nasimabc.c...
- roywiggins 7y agoThose are crazy 1.0. Crazy 2.0 has a newsletter, and Social.
- m3at 7y agoTo be fair, waitbutwhy's newsletter isn't spam, it only send about one email per year when new articles are published. As publications are so infrequent, that's a good way not to forget about this blog

- read_if_gay_ 7y agoThat web page is actually a really good read.
- puranjay 7y agoMaybe. But the first part with the Jellyfish and the frog and all that evolutionary crap turned me off. Too much of it is written in the Explain Like I'm 5 format.
- cambalache 7y agoHe is great, but how to put it politely? His enthusiasm for technology and future possibilities blinds him to the reality that many things take longer than what we would wish , and that science requires lot of sluggish, dull work in order to advance.
- Robotbeat 7y agoHe mentioned that it’d be slow and there’s a LOT of work to finish in the announcement. He’s (now) aware of the challenges.
- cambalache 7y agoI was referring to the guy who wrote the post, I think you are referring to Ellon . I think he is more grounded being closer to the "action".
- kodz4 7y agoWhile this is true, one thing that has changed a lot is how connected all the research labs of the world are across the planet and how that rate is increasing. While it creates a lot of chaos, distraction and trust issues to work through, the scope and scale of collaboration is on the rise which means a lot of work is getting parallelized. Think of it as a shift from single core to multicore. Dull stuff is going to happen faster than it used too.

- kodz4 7y agoIt takes time to adjust to hyperconnection. But the benefits will keep showing up and pushing things in the direction of more connection. Look at the number of collaborators on the Black Hole image or gravitational wave detection. You will see things like that increase. And as they increase we learn how to do things better.
