Elon Musk's Neuralink Brain Implant Will 'MERGE' Humans With AI

[Anonymous No.11366330]

https://www.9news.com.au/technology/elon-musk-neuralink-brain-implant-will-merge-humans-with-ai/88f3b122-db0f-41bc-a32c-28e2bd7e997a

Elon Musk believes he knows how to connect human brains with computer interfaces via artificial intelligence.

The billionaire said his start-up Neuralink would be ready to demonstrate the brain-computer interface technology later this year.

While Musk was keeping his cards close to his chest, the tech icon promised the latest iteration of the product would be "awesome".

The billionaire said he believes the biggest advantage would be helping humans overcome disabilities and injuries.

"It will ultimately be used to make up for entire lost sections of the brain due to stroke/accident/congenital. Don't want to get too excited, but the potential is truly transformational for restoring brain and motor functions. There is no other way to do it imo (in my opinion)," he explained.

Musk claims the technology has already allowed a monkey to control a computer with its brain in tests, with hopes to move to humans when safe.

"First, we need to make it super safe & easy to use, then determine greatest utility vs risk. From initially working to volume production & implantation is a long road," he said.

Musk has said his long-term goal for the project is to eventually allow humans to "merge" with AI.

I would like to see him take one fucking project to completion. We don't have the vacuum tube subway he promised us in California. We haven't been to Mars. We aren't anywhere close to sending "regular people" to space STILL. Self-driving cars are still not available for average consumers.
And now he's trying to do even more. I want to see something actually amazing come out of this guy for once instead of just theories and speculation.

Elon is looking for more suckers and attention I see, he worst than the snake oil sellsman that would come back every year to sell a new "miracle" medicine except they at at least gave you something and came up with their own version of the scam.

Elon just stops pursuing whatever idea he read about and starts spouting off on the next idea from someone else that sounds like current attainable modern scifi. Too see if some retards throw him money to pocket. Elon is the modern bernie madoff.

I mean he got major butthurt about a diver telling him to fuck off with his sub coffin bullshit for a tiny cave.

According to my professor and TA, who work with neural sensors, the work neuralink is doing in microfabricating better higher resolution, flexible sensors is substantial. They have far more resources than most other researchers in this space.

>>11366457
neat

what if there were some signal or phenomenon that causes movable neuron dendrites to move to a new position and make a new connection with another neuron, and a tech firm like neuralink was able to imitate that effect with their electrode/sensor in order to draw a neuron's movable arm over to it and make a connection? that might be a good idea, if they're having problems getting neurons to put a signal where they put the needle

Still 7-8 monumental paradigm shift so away from what they promise, but it actually seems like they do some pretty decent groundwork (unless all their results are completely bogus). This is encouraging as it means they might provide something of actual value to the scientific community before Elon inevitably looses interest/goes to jail.

PayPal, SpaceX and Tesla are all big business successes which have generated genuine progress for humanity. You're probably like 18, so maybe you don't remember a time when online banking was laughable, the US government couldn't afford to send things into space, and talking about EV in front of any automotive exec would get a cigar put out in your eye. The guy is a classic self promoter because you need to do that in business. Hype is worth a billion dollars.

That doesn't solve the problem. The issue is when you allow people outside the company to have a financial interest in it, they can use any number of external factors to try to manipulate the company from the outside for their own best interests, not the companies. Look at the Tesla shorts trying to report bogus unintentional acceleration cases to NHTSA, the guy who owned only a few shares trying to sue them a few years ago, etc. Happens to most publicly owned companies to some degree. Nosenbergs will argue that they are "policing" these companies somehow by either shorting them and trying to make them fail, or investing in them and trying to coerce the company to make as much money as possible for a short time while simultaneously imploding.

neuralink is only an interface for paraplegics/quadriplegic that allows you to control something using your motor cortex so basically it's 99.99% eye coordination.
this shit existed for years and it had a lot of downsides like brain damage around the electrodes, having a hole in your skull, being only useful for the paralyzed, etc but because the hecken epic musker is talking about it, then popsci faggots and midwit retards started picking up and talking about their fantasies without understanding a single thing.

That's not yet a possibility, probably won't be for many decades. That's because the explainability component in AI is not present. Besides what would it even look like? It seems the trend in AI right now is moving more towards hybrid AI systems where you implement reasoning within the AI coupled with deep learning methods. Kind of some hybrid expert systems / deep learning. At least more recent research asks for things in this due to it being potentially able to fulfill legal requirements (and be coupled to legal rules, allowing for modelling within law).

This sounds nice but we still don't have a mass-market priced 3 (and they still don't have the production capability to deliver on that even if they did), the model y, or the new Roadster.

yeah the Utah array, which was designed in the 1980s, not made until the 1990s, is decades old, and used in neural interface research for a while now is decades old. However, the neural sewing machine is new. Sure, micro wire electrodes are a somewhat old concept(2005?), but the sewing machine makes them more scalable. Go ahead find me prior art for this:
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/578542v1
It's a big advance over the utah array. That's not really saying much, because progress has been pretty slow...

>>11375432
>>literal handicaps have it right now
not very many people have used direct neural interfaces. I'd say that probably less than 20 people have had neural interfaces. It's still an experimental procedure and interfaces haven't proven to be very stable. Microwire interfaces have proven to be more stable than the utah array.
