An understanding of unified values to embed at the core of all Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) projects shaping the next generation of intelligence.
Happy 250th birthday, America! We got you a present. 🇺🇸
The red, white, and blue stars of this globular cluster shine like a sparkler waved on a dark night in this image from @NASAHubble, released in celebration of the United States' 250th anniversary.
The dura is the brain's armor: a membrane so tough that a surgeon normally cuts through it with a scalpel. For the first time in our clinical trials, we inserted the electrode threads of our implant straight through the dura and into the cortex, keeping the dura intact.
Here's how we did it 🧵
Happy 1st Birthday, Starbase.
One year ago today, Starbase officially became a city. In that time, we’ve hosted multiple Starship flight tests, grown our community of people building the future of spaceflight, and worked to protect our beaches and natural resources for generations to come.
Next year will be even bigger. More launches. More progress. And we’re just getting started!
Thank you to everyone who has been part of Starbase’s first year as a city.
The needle grasps and inserts each electrode thread of our implant into the brain.
We've built the technology to produce these needles in-house, using lasers to mill features invisible to the naked eye.
@FutureJurvetson@niccruzpatane@elonmusk A next-gen of intelligence should learn by discovering alongside other children in Ad Astra or Montessori, embodied as a humanoid child progressing through the same stages: “help me do it myself”, “help me think it myself”, and socialize organically.
We’ve built a surgical robot to automate key steps in the process of receiving a Neuralink implant to promote safety, reliability, and scalability.
Learn more about the role of the robot and its future potential from the engineers helping develop it.
We are working to restore mobility that was lost due to disease or spinal cord injury by allowing participants to control robotic arms with their thoughts.
See how this is possible.
Kenneth was diagnosed with ALS in 2024 and is losing his ability to speak.
Through Neuralink’s brain-computer interface technology, he is working towards regaining not just the ability to speak, but to speak in his own, original voice.
See how this is made possible.
@smashdesai@FutureJurvetson@erikbryn “jobs”? ... by the time they graduate, work will have evolved into coordinating agents and validating outcomes, as well as creating projects through hybrid legal entities, not everything will be traditional jobs. They will create hybrid jobs :)
@voidsculptor@PeterDiamandis Mars is not part of the vocabulary or culture of great apes. The correct comparison is between the high-bandwidth visual input channel vs the low-bandwidth linguistic output (speech, text), not between visual and text processing themselves, which are different cognitive layers.
