LIFE AS NO ONE KNOWS IT, briefly noted in @NewYorker . If you’ve read and/or listened to it, I’d love to hear your thoughts in this thread. I’m having fun reflecting on the multichromatic shape of the ideas as they interact with all your wonderful minds! https://t.co/FEkZksZoE3
Here's my 8.5 hour conversation with @elonmusk & @neuralink team.
It is the longest podcast I've ever done! 🤯 It's a fascinating, super technical, and wide-ranging conversation.
It's here on X & everywhere else, including YouTube: https://t.co/0kYbFNj2Su
On X, it's split up into 3 parts (in replies to this post) due to the current 4 hour limit for video. I continue to push the X engineering team to increase the limit... up it to 10 hours let's go! 🤣
Thank you to Elon Musk, DJ Seo, Matthew MacDougall, and Bliss Chapman who are part of the amazing Neuralink team: @elonmusk, @djseo_, @matthewmacdoug4, and @chapman_bliss.
And thank you to Noland Arbaugh (@ModdedQuad) who is the first human to have a Neuralink device implanted in his brain.

Lützerath is everywhere: These days we should be watching the remarkable uprising against an expansion of a coal mine in #Turkey. As fires rage around the Mediterranean sea, people are defending the Akbelen Forest with all they have. Defend life, not coal! #AkbeleneDokunma
Zeigen wir @POTUS, wie groß der Protest in Deutschland ist. Stoppt das Ölbohrprojekt in Alaska! #StopWillow#Klimakrise Unterzeichne jetzt die WeAct-Petition https://t.co/qP51kffVYx
"Das Abbaggern der Kohle von Lützerath ist nicht nur eine Frage der Existenz eines Dorfes, sondern eine Causa, die von globaler und klimapolitisch richtungsweisender Bedeutung ist."
200 Prominente fordern einen Stopp der Räumung von #Lützerath.

@SamHarrisOrg Hi @SamHarrisOrg just finished listening to your new episode of Making Sense and I’ve wondered now for a while what is your problem with @AOC but never got around to ask. I carry immense respect and admiration for both of you and I just can’t get my head around this issue. Thanks
