We’re excited to announce our $650M Series E fundraising with participation from key investors including ARK Invest, DFJ Growth, Founders Fund, G42, Human Capital, Lightspeed, QIA, Sequoia Capital, Thrive Capital, Valor Equity Partners, Vy Capital, amongst others.
We’re building technology to transform people’s lives: helping restore autonomy to those with motor, speech, or vision impairment by enabling them to control computers and robotic arms with their minds, output verbal thought as text, and generate visual perception.
With this funding, we accelerate our path to bringing life-changing capabilities to more people, and continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with brain-computer interfaces.
Less than two hours until today’s Falcon Heavy launch of @NASA 's Europa Clipper spacecraft from Launch Complex 39A in Florida. The instantaneous launch window opens at 12:06 p.m. ET. → https://t.co/sXOX3pYMuW
Starship Flight 4, with many improvements, aiming to launch on Thursday!
The main goal of this mission is to get much deeper into the atmosphere during reentry, ideally through max heating.
I offer my services for free to check LK-99 alleged superconductor properties! If anyone has a piece, send it over. I'll run 1000 amps through it and look for zero volts across it!
Sometimes I wish our language had tenses or other markers for levels of epistemic confidence. A one-syllable way to say:
"I believe X because I have mathematical proof"
"I'm underqualified on this topic, but my feeling is X"
"My impression from observations so far is X"
etc
Anti-malaria, pandemic response, mitigating extreme poverty, life extension research, mitigating existential risks (including AI) and thinking about the multimillion-year future of humanity are all very important and undervalued issues and will continue to be for quite a while.
Two years ago we planted 20,000,000 trees and now we want to remove 30,000,000 pounds of trash from the ocean with #TeamSeas!
$1 = 1 less pound of trash in the ocean!
