.@_robtoews predicts humans will be able to communicate through telepathy by 2030.
He argues the breakthrough has already been demonstrated in research labs, where scientists have translated thoughts directly into words using BCIs.
"I would actually say that telepathy has been achieved today. What I would define as telepathy is if you can think thoughts and have your thoughts translated into words that other people can read or hear. That's already been accomplished by BCIs."
"Eddie Chang, who's one of the world's leading BCI researchers at UCSF, runs the neurosurgery department. His lab has demonstrated in recent years that you can implant BCI chips into people's brains, tell what they're trying to say, and turn those brain signals into actual words."
10 (bold) predictions for AI in 2026:
1⃣ Anthropic will go public. OpenAI will not. 📈
2⃣ Details of SSI’s research and technology will leak to the public. The big labs will make meaningful adjustments to their research roadmaps as a result. 🤫
Global crisis. TED talk by Rob Toews on what would happen in a country invaded Taiwan to claim all the chips, fabs & foundries.
-Whoever controls the chips, controls the world.
