The first human patient will soon receive a Neuralink device. This ultimately has the potential to restore full body movement.
In the long term, Neuralink hopes to play a role in AI risk civilizational risk reduction by improving human to AI (and human to human) bandwidth by several orders of magnitude.
Imagine if Stephen Hawking had had this.
🚨BREAKING NEWS: The teen car passenger who filmed himself encouraging his friend to mow down a retired police officer riding his bike through Las Vegas was arrested Tuesday, officials announced.
The unidentified minor and the teen driver — who was already in custody — are both facing murder charges in the disturbing hit-and-run death of 64-year-old Andreas Probst last month, Las Vegas officials said at a press conference.
“It’s a complete lack of conscience on a part of it and the worst part about it in the video is you hear that everything was intentional,” Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Detective Lt. Jason Johansen said.
Police say the passenger filmed the gut-wrenching video showing that Probst was deliberately struck and left for dead while he was on his morning bike ride around 6 a.m. Aug. 14. The driver can be heard asking his giggling friend, “Ready?” as he speeds up directly behind the retired cop.
“Yeah, hit his ass,” the passenger tells the driver before the car plows into the retiree.
The 17-year-old who plowed into Probst was arrested the same day as Probst’s death on suspicion of hit and run.
Authorities announced the upgraded murder charge after video of the incident surfaced. Prosecutors said both teens will be tried as adults.
It took police five weeks to track down the passenger, who was wearing a mask in surveillance footage obtained by investigators. He was ultimately caught in part due to the damning video, to which police were alerted by a school resource officer who had been given the footage by a student.
The former cop had moved to Sin City after he retired as chief of police in Bell, California, in 2009.
“Andy’s life was robbed by two individuals who did not believe that the lives of others matter,” his daughter Taylor said, calling her father a “man of honor and integrity.”
“He was a Little League dad, an honorary member of Girl Scouts … and he was always there for the various activities we’d get into as a family. His colleagues remember him as a real-life Pee-wee Herman. He was a jokester, a prankster and always had a way to make you laugh.”

@WDRaktuell Gibt es eigentlich auch noch irgendetwas, was Eltern nicht auf die Schule abwälzen? Zauberwort heisst: Erziehung! Tischmarnieren, Essen mit Besteck, dem Anlass entsprechend angemessene Kleidung. Demnächst ist Schule noch für laufen lernen und trocken werden verantwortlich.
The number one killer of men and women today:
"When I finally get X then I'll do Y"
When I retire.
When I get the girl.
When I have millions.
When I get the promotion.
When the kids go to college.
Training to live perpetually in the future.
Always optimizing. Sacrificing. Toiling.
Then BOOM, heart attack at 45.
This is the real epidemic.
Luckily there's a solution that's safe and effective.
But it doesn't come in a pill or syringe.
It's called the art of living, or savoir-vivre.
It's perhaps the most neglected field of study in modern society. Why is nobody talking about this?
This actually happened to Evernote. They took the advice of “keep talking to your customers and ship whatever they want” as the only guiding principle for product development. And what ended up happening was paying users liked it, but the product become unintuitive and feature overload for the new user. To the extent that they had to rebuild a version for the new user.
Users don’t always know if they really want something. It’s your job to take the extra step to think on their behalf: whether they really need this. Or can what they ask be done through something much simpler. Or can you solve multiple problems of different users with one new redesign rather than a bunch of changes. The right principle is: “Keep talking and listening to your users, spend the additional time thinking on their behalf what they actually want, and ship that”.
