This is what a hydropower relief valve test can look like. During tests like these, massive volumes of water are intentionally released to verify that critical equipment can safely handle sudden change in pressure and flow.

Elon Musk: Thanks to robots, the best medical care will be available to anyone. Surgeons don't grow on trees, but robots get built in factories.
“People often talk about eliminating poverty and providing great medical care. But they don't actually have a solution. Money doesn't solve it, because there is a very limited number of great doctors and surgeons. They don't grow on trees. But now they'll get built in factories.”

Neuralink has solved through-dura electrode implantation!
This is a very big deal, as it greatly improves the safety and ease of interfacing with the brain.
Neuralink is needed to solve the super low & lossy output bandwidth of humans.
Our input bandwidth, thanks to vision, is many orders of magnitude higher than our output bandwidth, but could also be greatly improved.
By addressing these bandwidth limitations and greatly increasing our effective cognitive capacity, human-AI symbiosis will be far better, improving the probability of a great outcome for humanity in the future.
