@reMindCapital Laughter is good for the soul!

I’m long brain-computer-interfaces: Neuralink licensed my PhD thesis chip to build their device and my last company spun out to become Merge Labs.

[Bridge Neurotech @bridgeneurotech]

Brain-computer interfaces shouldn’t require brain surgery.

Today, Bridge Neurotech is emerging from stealth with $13.5M from @generalcatalyst Catalyst, reMind, Sunflower Capital, Scott Sandell and others to build a non-invasive BCI that uses ultrasound to decode brain activity in real time.

@meetgranola Any plans to parse out separate speakers? Currently it's just "me" or "them", but other AI transcribers like Otter can identify different voices, and therefore summarise who said what (not just what was said).

Call me old but it seems impossible to embed a YouTube video in a tweet

[Max de Vere @maxdevere]

@meetgranola Granola transcribes what my interlocutor is saying twice! Once correctly, and once as if I had said those words. Any fix?

an exchange i watch regularly if i need to laugh

[All The Right Movies @ATRightMovies]

DAVID LYNCH tells the story of being offered the chance to direct Return of the Jedi by George Lucas.

[Dave Itzkoff @ditzkoff]

not Lynch's movie, i know, but god, what a sendoff

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

Let’s remember David Lynch, explaining on why he told stories the way he did.

@DavidDeutschOxf What is the best introduction to Constructor Theory? Do you intend to write a book that connects your previous thinking to it?

There are no fewer than FOUR (4) re.Mind companies in this WSJ video on neurotech. https://t.co/P5PhLkk9On @reMindCapital

@oldbooksguy Except.. brutalist architecture isn’t postmodern architecture at all, is it?

@ESYudkowsky @liron Is there a single place where your arguments about superintelligence risk are laid out as completely as possible, from the top? I only ever see fragments of it, and there are always glaring questions with any given fragment, so it is hard to take it seriously.

[Greg Parody Account @How2Drink]

I know it’s getting banned and all, but there’s an account on tiktok that just strips the laugh track out of Seinfeld and sets the show to Laura Palmer’s theme and it’s the singles greatest contribution to comedy in 30 years.

@Pinboard Ideally tagging would be totally automatic and both “mac” and “osx” would work

[Max de Vere @maxdevere]

@Pinboard For example: Should I tag something as “mac-tools” or as two tags “mac” and “tools”? Have I been using “mac” or have I been using “osx”? And was it “tools” or “tool”? You need to think about those things, or else it becomes a mess and harder to search.

@zachweinberg Also, just so I understand the model, what enables you to offer better value for the founders vs those other incubators? Is it simply because your fund takes a (relative) hit on performance, or because of something else that you do better than the others?
