microwave labotomy ... We just put the machine against your head here for a bit and those bad urges go away, all better.

Another poster mentioned that it's actually focussed ultrasound.

Still sounds like breaking a piece of a system by stirring the brain with a knife (lobotomy) or burning it out with heat (cauterization), electricity (electroshock) or mechanical shock (blow to the head) - just carefully focused without (substantial) damage to other parts of the brain or its casing.

Ultrasonic destruction of a piece of the brain's reward/punishment/desire/avoidance mechanism rather than persistent unwanted fat.

Dude I am so back. Finally a job I qualify for. Do I have to remove the crumbs and soup bits or no?

Yeah but the computer is running millions of move simulations, but a grandmaster is doing 1 millionth of that computation and still playing well. If we restricted the computer to only do a few thousand evaluations per second it would fail miserably. Same thing with self-driving a car. A human can learn with 20 hours of driving school, meanwhile the FSD training models need tens of billions of miles driven in simulation and all kinds of scenarios reasoned through for it.

We're missing some fundamental thing(s) when it comes to computation. I have no idea what it is -- we only know that there's a way to do it but we don't know how. Somebody, or AI itself will figure it out soon (like within a century, maybe even a decade or two).

Reminder of what I read in a magazine some decades ago, that the human brain utilizes just 25 to 50 watts and uses electric and chemical impulses while immersed in conductive fluid. When playing chess, a grandmaster can evaluate at best about 6 moves per second while a computer evaluates millions .. yet the computer is only two or three times better than a human.

Guys, this is a major milestone the AIs have finally achieved a higher intelligence level than the government.

AT the rate pretty soon its IQ will be nearing the upper double digits.

Are they going to release any version of this game?

So far every announcement we've heard is how it's not being released (at a certain time or form).

So I could go get my whole body ultrasonic-ct scan done while holding a cup of ingredients and walk out of there with an espresso?

I can figure out what hue, contrast, sharpness, and color saturation settings should be on my NTSC television. Anybody remember having to adjust that on a TV .. and the V-hold. Not to mention those rabbit ear antennas. Kids nowadays have it good, sort of. It was also fun now looking back.

Yeah, who's the guy who said that? If it were me, those would be my last words before I kick the bucket.

Yeah because it's directed within a specific area. This is a range of emitters over a large area with a large amount of wave diffractions and interactions. I'm not saying it's unsafe. I don't know the energy levels involved or anything like that. Just that it's not necessarily safe, compared to say non-ionizing radiation or magnetic fields.

0.5 resolution is what a standard MRI provides. If it can do that and differentiate hard and soft tissue I will be impressed. The demo images they showed looked nowhere near the required accuracy. They still have a year to get it working I guess. Ultrasonic is very difficult given blood flow and all the associated movement with heart beating and all that. Also, they claim it is safe due to lack of radiation. But ultrasonic can fuck shit up too. I mean ultrasonic is currently used to break up kidney stones, shear and fragment DNA (for NGS prep).

FSD has driven me hundreds of times consecutively so far, garage to congested city parking spots, with zero critical intervention on my Tesla. Not just me but look on YouTube etc. you'll see that with version 14 of FSD it's pretty much flawless -- it even handles drive-throughs .. cones/construction zones etc. I'm telling you it's at the point where I'm not sure what more they need to add -- other than accessory features like favorite parking spot memory, parking structure navigation. Someone said it can't see a chain across the road .. never encountered that I guess .. not sure a human could see that either? Note .. FSD is perfected, but Tesla's navigation .. which Google and even Apple solved 10 years ago.. sucks .. but that's because they are refusing to license Google for nav.

The neurons being probed are the motor neurons, so you have to intend an action for it to get a read out.

As usual, Neuralink will be the first to do this second or third.

Back in early 2025, Elon Musk laughed that OpenAI was paying $3 billion for Windsurf and mused that they can't even build an IDE themselves.
I can't find the tweet easily to link here .. but I recall someone else had said that and he re-tweeted it with a crying with laughter smiley.
