The only major technical update from its initial announcement a year ago is that they're no longer hiding the transmitter behind the participant's ear. (and pigs!)
Other than that, the whole thing seemed like a recruitment attempt, but that's fine. I fully support mission, and I'd love to work for them if given opportunity. To apply: https://jobs.lever.co/neuralink https://jobs.lever.co/neuralink
- spullara 6y agoSince they started the presentation announcing it was a recruitment event, I think you are right.
- mysterEFrank 6y agoThey put it in a pig brain and can use neural signals to predict the pigs behavior - that's major progress
- zaroth 6y agoSeriously! How much faster would people expect them to be able to run with this? Something like this is the work of a lifetime. Elon is 49, and isn’t running out of funding any time soon. It’s an incredibly costly and risky endeavor which could improve a lot of lives. I think the idea of putting it into an otherwise healthy individual is way, way off and kind of a distraction? But in the meantime if this can somehow help treat e.g. Alzheimer’s it would be an absolute godsend for millions of people.
