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.

I think it's engineered by those two, and certainly supported by them. Proof: I haven't seen Musk ask for the ban to be lifted, if he did that Trump would lift the ban.

If the Democrats win the presidency, the Trump administration just offered a legit pathway for shutting down X and x AI.

Who wants to be booed? Me. I don't give an F about boos or if the world hates me. I care about doing the right thing. I'd give an F only if it were blocking me from doing things. If it's just morons booing me, let them do so until the cows come home (in which case they may want to try mooing instead).

Too many idiots are driven by wanting to be liked. It's an obsolete evolutionary trait.

I have to commend him on powering through his speech during the whistling without giving a fuck .. but it took way too long for Stanford to kick the protesters out. Most too those protesters will go on to work in tech, and all they accomplished by it was screwing up people's graduation experience. I was waiting for parents near them to gather and beat the shit out of them. Probably would have happened if security didn't kick them out.

Yeah .. it's not like Stanford kids could have done things like say founding Google.

I was in attendance. He got plenty of boos and loud-as-fuck whistling for the first 5 to 10 mins of his speech by morons who were protesting Nimbus.

Did it? When you consider Switzerland is 15% non-white, it's very likely that a majority of white Swiss probably voted against it. Sounds like Switzerland is doing nothing to assuage the tribalism and suspicion between races. The feelings of resentment and division will only increase. Votes along tribal/racial lines are bad and unstable.

It's not just your company, I've come across it many places. Why are so many enterprises still on Java 8? Those same companies were on Java 5 for like 25 years before they "upgraded" to Java 8. 100% guaranteed they will "upgrade" to 17 instead of whatever version is current. You realize there are people who weren't born when Java 8 came out in like what 2012 or something? Jesus Christ. (Note, Christ himself may have still been around.)

The idea is to sell a tiny sliver of the company knowing so many people want a piece of it. It's like you create a crypto coin and sell one person one coin for $10 and then you're a billionaire because you've got 100 million coins.

The best is San Francisco which spends $100k per homeless person. They could you know hire them to build stuff like homeless shelters while paying luxury apaartmeenrajwith that money.

Sounds like you looked into this?

What about elderly memory care .. seems like that's the type of thing that cheap labor and land value can solve until the robots take over. It would require full audited camera coverage to prevent elder abuse though. The median salary in Thailand is $480 and Vietnam its $300.

Right now elderly memory care costs $7000 a month in the USA. If it costs $1000 a month, I am sure many people would be happy to ship grandma off to Thailand since it would likely be fully covered by her social security payments.

vindicated?
