Let’s assume that world dominance is the root priority. Your statement implies that solving homelessness wouldn’t be in service of world domination. That might be true, but there’s clearly a minimum effort here: an…
I don't think this will happen in the near future, but "ever"? Almost certainly unless humanity stops working on AI systems for some reason. The current approaches to AI have poor reasoning ability. This could possibly…
For the crowd that tends to be frequenting places like HN, I still believe college to very much be worth it. There are many viable paths to almost any outcome, but college is a rare time where you are constantly…
Neuralink has previously discussed their implantations in monkeys, in which they claim implantations for > 1 year with increasing performance (e.g., in their deep dive on youtube [1]). That would seem to indicate that…
You might be happy to hear that while it was low-key, Neuralink did have some presence at SfN and had a joint poster there with University College London.
They can always be reduced, but sometimes with an unacceptably large (e.g., non-polynomial) increase in time complexity. These are the complexity classes of Function P (FP) and Function NP (FNP), which are the function…
As of right now, there is a lot more safety data in humans supporting the use of stents in vasculature, and because it is outside the brain (in the vessels), the blood-brain barrier is never broken. There also a lot of…
Yes, they have IDE approval in the US for a clinical trial, after first conducting a trial in Australia.
Haha, for typical use with Synchron’s device they are using eye-tracking. The BCI-only mode is just for research purposes/baseline. It’s also just what’s in the paper, they may implement other UIs in practice.
I am fortunate enough to have had John as a professor. He truly cares about his teaching and his students. Each Friday, he would end the class with a life lesson/a question to think about over the weekend unrelated to…
As someone who has been invited on several occasions into Bay Area EA groups, my experience has been that many of the people who are involved are more concerned with some grand concept of ethics and skipped over an…
