The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see.
Provided the visual cortex is intact, it will even enable those who have been blind from birth to see for the first time.
To set expectations correctly, the vision will be at first be low resolution, like Atari graphics, but eventually it has the potential be better than natural vision and enable you to see in infrared, ultraviolet or even radar wavelengths, like Geordi La Forge.
Much appreciated, @US_FDA!
Peter Thiel on Elon Musk 🔊
“You know, when Elon was building both Tesla and SpaceX in the 2000s, people thought he was just really, really crazy. I think even those of us who had worked with him at PayPal, I mean, there’s this PayPal book that David Sacks and I thought of writing, and the Elon chapter was titled something like, “The Man Who Knew Nothing About Risk.” There are all these crazy Elon stories I could tell... If one of the two companies had succeeded, you would say, “Well, maybe he still got really lucky,” but when two out of two companies that people thought were completely harebrained in the 2000s, when they both succeed, man, you have to somehow reassess it, and somehow, the rest of us, somehow, are too risk averse, or there’s something about risk he knows that we don’t, or something like this.”
@TeslaBoomerMama@wholemars@Tesla The FSD should probably be priced like the Saas product. Basic Plan (Free, limit to 50 miles), Advanced Plan (USD49, limit to 800 miles), Unlimited (USD99, unlimited miles)
Tesla Megapack is powering a solar project in Riverside County, California. The 250 MW/1 GWh battery energy storage facility is located adjacent to the farm, supplying electricity to 207,000 homes per year. https://t.co/W1ynOaG6x8
