Musk is not an innovator this time. He's decades late and he knows it, but he IS being forthright about his efforts. and THAT I admire. He is playing catch-up to the Secret Squirrel Societies who have been testing this surreptitiously for some time.
As I have said, I don't need to waste time searching for evidence, because this tech cannot be kept secret forever. Eventually, it will not sound absurd - hence this new blog posting. Compared to a few years ago, the idea of an Electronic Brain Link Network is considerably less bizarre. Even the Wall Street Journal is dedicating space to it... https://www.wsj.com/articles/elon-musks-neuralink-advances-brain-computer-interface-11563334987
I'll leave AI out of the discussion for now, but if the clever among you are wondering through what digital negotiations such signals would have to operate...there you are. A network is just connectivity with decoding.
This is not pie-in-the-sky techno-spending. They already know it works. In the private sector, it's not just Musk and it's not just in the US. It was a bigger investment opportunity the first time I hinted about it than it is now. About 90 million Americans already have an inkling that something is up.
Here’s an essay from an upcoming book by a philosophical neurologist at Princeton University.
In the essay he touches on many issues hypothetically, which may strike you as far too abstract to be true scientific concerns of interest to the Wall Street Journal.
They are far from too deep and much closer to fundamental. I’m glad a reliable and educated source is putting these suppositions in print in nonfiction, because this is not a distant tomorrow.
Read it and then ask yourself why there is so much chatter about AI, brain-linking, and consciousness, floating about the financial press.
Facebook is knee deep in brain-link networking, but tech-cornering is always prudent. It seems that most of the biggest techs are going insane right along with me, just a few years later than my teasers.
Want to know a few others (other than the intel community) who are trying to get in your heads?
In my experience, Microsoft, Amazon, Boeing, Google, Tencent, Oracle, MIT, and many others, perhaps surprisingly, video game groups like Ubisoft (the Tencent connection being no surprise). But then I’m insane, so...
Sleep on it and let me know if your opinions ever change. Perhaps by chance you’ll pop out of a memory compartment in the middle of the night with an epiphany. -eab
