Musk claims that his brain-computer interface company, Neuralink, is only 'months' away from announcing a technology that will ultimately allow 'anyone who wants superhuman cognition to have it.' He claims the technology is 'an order of magnitude better than anything out there [...] better than anyone thinks possible.'

Are these claims credible? And if this does indeed happen, what are the implications for scientific progress and society writ large?

he didn't officially claim that. He said they might be months away from making neural interface technology that is an order of magnitude better than other neural interfaces on the market. This is a pretty low goal considering the best neural interface on the market, the braingate2, was designed in the 1980s. The braingate 2 has 100 electrodes, and it would not be too hard to make a neural interface with 1000 electrodes. DARPA is trying to do even more and has a lofty goal of being able to read from 1 million neurons and write to one hundred thousand, far more than an order of magnitude like musk can probably deliver.

He said he'd have "something interesting in a few months."

The two aren't the same, he never once said the interesting thing he's going to potentially have available in a few months is a means for "superhuman cognition" or that he was going to reach the ultimate best case scenario end goal for Neuralink in a few months. "Having something interesting" is pretty fucking far from "completing all work worth doing towards the general concept of this business venture." If you have an analyst who tells you they're going to have something interesting to report on to you at your next meeting, you would be a pretty retarded boss to assume he meant to imply he'll have completed everything your business was potentially going to work towards ever by the time of that next meeting.

That's wrong though.

He didn't say "best case scenario" of super cognition. He said the bandwidth(from neuralace) will allow instant access to super human cognition. Not "best case" but rather actual case. He also said smartphones and computers already do that to some limited extend but due to the bandwidth limit between the smartphone/brain, even that's only a limited superhuman capability. So a neuralace thats directly hooked to the brain will not "at best case" give someone a superhuman cognition, but a sure thing superhuman cognition.

>> No.9985794

He didn't say anything about his "interesting" announcement being for a technology leading to superhuman cognition. Those were two different topics. His interesting announcement is something he said nothing specific about, we don't even know that it's going to be an announcement for a "technology" at all. It might be a new technique for better accomplishing some task they're working on for example. The superhuman cognition thing was the end game for his entire long term business venture.

There's a pretty big difference between the "superhuman cognition" of a smartphone or computer aided human vs. the "superhuman cognition" end game of his business plan. He specifically mentioned for example that the latter is something everyone would be able to obtain because the gain in cognitive performance would guarantee you could earn large amounts of money exceeding whatever the technology's cost would be. Buying a smartphone doesn't do anything like that for the general public today.

>> No.9985804

And to add to this, that's part of why it's a best case scenario and not a guaranteed actual scenario.

He's talking about any random person purchasing this best case scenario product and being guaranteed the ability to suddenly earn many times more than the price they just paid for it. That's very different from smartphones and computers which could be used potentially to increase your earning power but are absolutely not a guarantee you'll be making more money post-purchase. In fact I'm pretty sure the vast majority of everyday people who buy a phone or computer nowadays do not see an income increase attributable to their purchase. Your calculator example is interesting because it shows how once a technology like that is widely available the value of it to your earning power drops to nothing. Nobody I know of starts earning more money because they bought a calculator, mostly for the reason that it's a ridiculously abundant commodity now. It doesn't give you any sort of special edge over anyone else, even a homeless guy could stumble into a public library and use a calculator program on one of the computers there.

Well you have to simulate the membrane which separates the brain from the rest of the body, it must be durable enough to not fall to pieces when the brain gets shaken about but also sufficiently permeable to allow blood or a blood analogue nutrient solution to deliver oxygen and nutrients necessary for the brain's survival. Presuming you can do it flawlessly, the brain will survive as long as it would inside of a normal body, maybe a little longer since you might be able to filter out poisons and environmental contaminants more aggressively, but the real hurdle is how do you get a brain to regenerate it's cells but not lose it's memory in the process. Even if you can find a way to induce a brain to regenerate itself, it's memory neurons will be overwritten leading to loss of the memories and connections which make people individuals, you would also need to develop brain/machine interfaces sufficiently advanced to expand the brain's memory beyond it's long term memory neurons, such that it can afford to lose them and still have all of it's memories on call, at this point though if you can develop a storage and recall computer powerful enough and flexible enough to run in tandem with an organic brain and contain a conscious mind, it would be more efficient to simply migrate the consciousness over to the fully synthetic construct and allow the brain to die.

A smart person with such technology would be hundreds of times more intelligent just off the increased memory alone, let alone if they could run programs to help them do specific tasks.
I could just run the "chess engine" app in my head while playing a game and the correct squares would "light up" in my eyes and I'd play at the level of a super AI, as an example.

As you can see from the picture there is a lot of overlap between geniuses and spergs but I think Elon is more on the genius side. Although I heard that he wanted to build a business and went to some entrepreneur place and he was just hanging around and didn't know who to interact with and decided to just build a business himself, that's kind of spergy. Also incoherent speaking and a rather big disconnect between him and Joe, but that might be a 30 IQ communication gap rather than an theory of mind gap. Funny how Gates, the Zucc and Elon are all suspected to be on the spectrum and all of them are the top CEO's. Mild autism ftw.

1) I asked the question but you responded to someone else's comment.

2) Even if what you say was true and you are a "millionaire (to be more precise: multi-millionaire)", I do not consider that as an accomplishment. Worse than that. I would consider you to be just a fucking leach. There are too many rich people in the world with the only goal of accumulating wealth ad infinitum and too few guys like Musk that actually try to make a difference. If he only wanted to screw people over, he would go into banking or gayPhones, instead taking the risks of creating car and rocket manufactures.
The answer "I'm a milionaire" was actually the
worst you could pick, since it shows where your focus is.

No but it does raise the question when is anything meaningful going to happen in science? I'm not a scientist of any variety myself, but now that I think about it, nothing scientific has benefited my life in any way. Oh, I'm not interested in yours. I'm just speaking for myself. You can try and access my anecdotal memory and say "yes it has!" but you're not going to be able to. It helps keep me at the same level as everybody else, but if we were all equally disadvantaged my life wouldn't be any worse. I can only count the benefits. Again, this is just for myself. If I get a major disease I'll report differently later. My point is a spaceship to Mars NOW or a neuronal enhancer NOW or a super fast highway to wherever I wanted NOW would be splendid. By now I mean within a tangible time span, but it seems like everything is "going to be 9000 years bro lmao". Like who cares and why is it always brought up that the sun is going out in x Million years? it's all irrelevant anyway unless you're just interested in the theoretical nature of the sun.

The point of brining up whether or not humanity can survive enormous cataclysms in the future informs what we do in the present. It tells us whether it's worth it to put effort into anything NOW or if we should lie down and die NOW because we already know we won't be able to overcome existential threats. Some of which could be waaaaay closer around the corner, but you can't even know what, because we can't see around corners. The point is, that realization, that you don't know when something huge might blindside us should give you pause, and more than that, it should light a fire under your ass.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Elon Musk. The genius is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of his ideas will go over a typical new fag's head. There's also Musk's optimistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his products. His personal philosophy draws heavily from Popular Mechanics' literature, for instance. His followers understand this stuff. They have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of his ideas, to realize that they're not just propitious - they are truly brilliant. As a consequence, people who dislike Elon truly are idiots. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Musk's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.
