The Neuralink device has 1,024 electrodes to catch signals from lots of neurons. More electrodes mean more neurons and more information. To get this close to neurons, they drill a hole in the skull and put it in the brain.

🗣️ Elon Musk believes merging human brains with AI, through Neuralink, addresses a significant concern: the fear of AI overpowering humans.

🤯 Many AI experts share this fear, concerned that creating smarter machines might lead to their ability to deceive us and potentially take control away from humans.

Diving into innovation with speed! 🌊 We're sharing a glimpse into how Neuralink accelerates the future. Their latest tester simulates aging at 4x the normal rate, pushing the limits of implant durability. This leap in testing technology not only speeds up iterations but also aims to minimize animal testing. Let's explore these advancements together!

Neuralink hasn’t disclosed its valuation recently. But, in June, Reuters reported that the company was valued at over $5 billion following privately performed stock trades.

A new AI tool called Camerai by fal.ai is turning heads with its ability to transform people’s faces in real time.

In this video, a Twitter user named Burkay Gur demonstrated the tool’s capabilities by turning himself into Elon Musk. The results are truly impressive, with Gur’s face seamlessly morphing into Musk’s.

This technology could be used for entertainment, education, and even communication.

However, there are also some potential concerns about this technology. It could be used to create deepfakes, which are videos that have been manipulated to make it appear as if someone is saying or doing something they never did.

It is important to use this technology responsibly and ethically. We should be mindful of the potential for misuse and take steps to prevent it.

Elon Musk's dream of transforming Twitter (now X) into an 'everything app' is progressing as X secures a money-transfer license in Pennsylvania.

Elon Musk's vision of turning Twitter (now X) into an 'everything app' has moved a step closer.

X has secured a money-transmitter license in Pennsylvania.

Musk aims at transforming X into a platform that can cater to all financial needs.

Elon Musk has dreamed of turning Twitter (now called X) into "everything app" for a long time.

The X owner has often talked about his vision for the platform that he acquired a year back, saying that he wants people to be able to do much more than share their thoughts with the world on X.

And earlier this year, a report had confirmed that Musk wants people to use X for financial transactions soon.

And now, reports suggest that the X chief is a step closer to turning this vision into reality.

X gets money-transfer license

According to a Firstpost report, X has successfully secured a money-transmitter license in Pennsylvania. This achievement marks the 13th such license obtained by X in the United States.

The recent approval, acquired earlier this week but not previously disclosed, signifies a significant advancement toward Musk's vision of transforming X into an all-encompassing app.

The approval from Pennsylvania, revealed through a public licensing database on Monday, grants X the authority to facilitate money transfers.

This paves the way for X to introduce payment features within its platform, allowing users to send money to each other—similar to the functionalities provided by platforms like PayPal's Venmo.

Elon Musk's company, Neuralink, is seeking volunteers who have paralysis and are willing to undergo a surgical procedure to have a brain-computer interface (BCI) implanted in their brains.

The BCI aims to enable volunteers to control computers through their thoughts. The procedure involves opening a portion of the skull and inserting thin wires and electrodes into the brain. The company is specifically looking for volunteers under the age of 40 who have quadriplegia, a condition that results in paralysis of all four limbs.

Neuralink: These are the first waveforms produced by our next generation stimulation ASIC on benchtop. This custom chip unlocks the ability to support 16k+ channels with sufficient voltage and current and the fine control required to restore vision or reanimate the body, something we hope…

After receiving approval from the FDA to conduct human trials for brain chips, thousands of prospective patients have shown interest in being guinea pigs for Neuralink.⁠

Neuralink the Next Step in Human Evolution? 🧬🤖

Earlier this month, Elon Musk claimed on X-formerly-Twitter that the monkeys who died during Neuralink trials were "terminal" cases "close to death already," making it clear that none of them perished as a result of the biotech company's brain implants.⁠
⁠
Documents viewed as part of a new investigation by Wired, however, as well as testimony from a former employee, contradict Musk's claims entirely — and the details are as upsetting as they are damning, adding to a mounting case against the safety of Neuralink's devices.⁠
⁠
And the timing couldn't be more exigent either, with Neuralink announcing on Wednesday that it's recruiting subjects for human trials.⁠
⁠
According to veterinary records obtained by Wired from the California National Primate Research Center (CNPRC) at UC Davis, the site of the Neuralink primate research, up to a dozen monkeys suffered grisly fates after receiving a Neuralink implant, including brain swelling and partial paralysis.⁠"

🤯Elon Musk says X will launch payment services by mid-2024

🚀Speaking to ARK Invest’s Cathie Wood in a Dec. 21 X space, Musk said he expects payment services to be fully launched sometime by the “middle of next year,” pending the approval of several money transmitter license applications.

Crypto enthusiasts speculate that DOGE and BTC will be the native tokens to X.
