This isn't the first time, though. Brain implants have been around a long time, and brain rejection of the foreign object has happened every single time without exception.
This is much closer to a flerfer arguing that the Earth will be flat this time.
How is any of that relevant?
If that's the game you want to play, OK.
Bacteria outnumber all other living things. Statistically, there's only one gender and all else is an abberation. This is confirmed, as the Y chromosome is simply an X chromosome that is badly degraded.
Humans are tetrapods, and therefore fish. Land-living fish are an abberation and can be ignored.
You see? That's a really, really stupid game to play, because it is trivial to show that it leads to nonsense.
Abberation is the entire basis on which all science is built.
You can only speak more freely if you agree with Musk. Disagree with him and you're banned. That's narry a "freedom" worthy of the name.
It means the first thing that you put out which holds up the rest of the enterprise. establishes a beachhead so to speak.
The article seems to be talking about identifiable sub-sequences that are used to compose more complex sequences. Whether they're the equivalent of phonemes, syllables, or words is, from the looks of things unknown. But journalists have to write accessibly, which automatically means they can't write accurately.
Analysis shows that their speech is extremely complex and definitely useful. We have already identified sequences representing personal identifiers. These are not animal grunts, they're extremely complex speech patterns that we know carry complex information.
I have no idea where you get your information from, but it's obviously not remotely accurate of from any actual researchers. It also sounds like it's a good 40-50 years out of date, at the very least.
There's actually a lot of information that they communicated in efforts to mitigate the problem of hunters.
We know that whales introduce themselves with a standardised series of clicks and whistles, followed by a sequence that is unique to that whale. Other whales in the area then send a standardised sequence followed by that same unique sequence.
The order is consistent, as are the standardised sequences, and all cetaceans enter a group by this method.
This is, without any fear of doubt, indicative of a notion of protocols and that requires at least a basic distinction between nouns and not-nouns.
How much further you can go is unclear. AI can probably detect standardised constructs, but we wouldn't necessarily know what T they referred to.
The brain starts with the semantics. Some are innate, others are learned, but the semantics is always first. The syntax is then layered on top of this. This is why the high-intelligence end of the autistic spectrum is linked to delayed speech followed by a very rapid process to complex speech. The semantics is being built to a far higher degree, the syntax is postponed until the last possible moment.
AI, as it currently exists, needs a very very large number of examples, far more than the brain by tens of orders of magnitude, and hallucinates far more, because ALL it knows is the syntax. There is no handling of the semantics at all.
This approach can NEVER lead to actual intelligence of any sort, let alone superintelligence. They are solving the wrong problem. And that is why they fail, and why they will only ever fail.
If you want actual intelligence, the syntax must come LAST. And the modern breed of AI researcher is simply far too stubborn and arrogant to fathom that.

Why should there be legitimate traffic across a border? The whole intent of a border is to stop traffic.
As for the rest, well, make more ammo...until all the ducks are dead.
A stable coin is a dollar, but on the blockchain.
Lets take USDC. Its issued by Circle. You send them one traditional USD, they send you one USDC to your wallet. You can use that USDC in crypto infrastructure, loan it out and earn interest.
As a non us citizen, you may buy some using say ether, in order to hedge the inflation of your local shit fiat. Or you may sell your crypto holdings into it if it looks like the market is headed off a cliff.
USDC is not decentralised, it requires trusting Circle. Circle can arbitrarily freeze your USDC at any point. Circle holds the collateral as cash in US banks. It publishes audits from the big 4 monthly. If there is a bank run on USDC, Circle allows anyone to redeem USDC for USD, as long as its during trading hours. Circle makes its money from the bank interest it earns on the collateral.
So thats how centralised stable coins work.
Crypto has a dream of creating decentralised stablecoins. These would track a target value supplied by an oracle network (decentralised network that can agree on some data outside the purview of a blockchain. There have been a few designs for these. Generally they require large collateral ratios (like 400-600% if using ether as a collateral) which is capital inefficient. Or they try some other idea that leads to blowups like Terra Luna / Do Kwon. There are other interesting models such as ampleforth.
Anyway until the law allows it I doubt wee see a large uptake of crypto for peer to peer payments in the Western world. But there are plenty of onchain financial uses.
Factorials were someone's attempt to make math LOOK exciting.
