BINARY_PARANOIC: Tak on Jobs/Raskin/Atkinson nebyli prvni kdo mel pocitac s GUI, Jobs nemel prvni smartphone s touchscreenem, Musk nevymyslel elektromobil s AC motorem atd.

Jen meli vic hype / marketingu / byli ve spravny cas na spravnem miste a diky tomu meli i obchodni uspech.

(Jo, pokud mate pocit ze hejtuju Muska, muze vas uklidnit, ze uplne stejne hejtuju vsechny tyhle "vizionare", jsou overrated. :) )

Mozky moc nesleduju - videl jsem serial Dollhouse a vic radsi nepotrebuju :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollhouse_(TV_series)

.. ale treba Synchron je zjevne dal:

Co se tyce Neuralinku, ono je fakt asi potreba si od toho odecist Elonovo prehaneni:

Musk has a long history of bold promises but a spottier record of fulfilling them. In 2016, he wrongly predicted that within two years it would be possible for a Tesla to drive autonomously from New York to Los Angeles. That year he said his SpaceX rocket company would fly to Mars in 2018 – it still has not.

In 2017, Musk suggested Neuralink’s first product would be on the market “in about four years”. However, Tuesday’s news was a “significant milestone” towards that goal, said Anne Vanhoestenberghe, a professor of active implantable medical devices at King’s College London.

“For the brain-computer interface community, we must place this news in the context that while there are many companies working on exciting products, there are only a few other companies who have implanted their devices in humans, so Neuralink has joined a rather small group,” she added.

“I expect Neuralink will want to give the participant time to recover before they start training their system with the participant. We know Elon Musk is very adept at generating publicity for his company, so we may expect announcements as soon as they begin testing, although true success in my mind should be evaluated in the long-term, by how stable the interface is over time, and how much it benefits the participant.”

The startup’s study, Prime, is a trial for its wireless brain-computer interface to evaluate the safety of the implant and surgical robot. Researchers will assess the functionality of the interface, which enables people with quadriplegia to control devices with their thoughts, according to the company’s website. Neuralink and Musk did not immediately respond to a request for further details.

For the first time ever, the @Tesla Model Y was officially the best-selling car overall in the world in 2023, with 1.23 million units sold. This is the first time an EV took the #1 spot in global sales.

What's crazy is that Model Y production started only 4 years ago.

Note: While others have already claimed the Model Y was the best-selling car in the world in 2023, tonight we received Toyota's official 2023 sales data to support the claim, which is why I waited to report the news until now.

když nad tím tak přemýšlím, tak to může být velký problém pro jeho financování Twitteru. Nebo taky ne, záleží jak jsou nastaveny úvěrový smlouvy dle řekl bych že nějaký ty akcie Tesly tam roli hrát budou.

JARDABEREZA: Musk měl dostat obří část akcií Tesly při splnění některých cílů. Ale akcionářům se to nelíbilo, tak se soudili s tím že ty lidi kteří ten plán schválili jsou vesměs Muskovo kámoši. A vyhráli.

MAKROUSEK: mel jsem upresnit - ma jit o cipy co se jednim nebo druhym zpusobem snazi identifikovat mozkove signaly pro obecnou komunikaci s pocitacem.

XCHAOS: Dneska jsem si pustil díl na podobné téma :-D

Jen tak pro kontext: ted na CT24 rikal Vacha z lekarske fakulty UK ze lidi s cipem v mozku je ted na svete asi 42.

XCHAOS: tesim se na prvni pong&frappe video

Elon Musk says Neuralink implanted wireless brain chip
https://bbc.co.uk/news/technology-68137046%E2%80%A9Been asked to comment on this A LOT already. So, here's my thoughts on the matter
TL:DR 90% hype, 10% borrowed substance.

Issue 1
This entire story seems to be based on a single tweet from Musk
I mean, come on guys. If this were a genuine breakthrough, you should be hearing about it in all the credible outlets. One known BS merchant doing a tweet shouldn't be seen as confirmation of anything

Even then, the story seems to focus on the 'successful implantation'? So, the chip hasn't done anything, it's just the recipient... isn't dead? Or heavily injured?
Great, but shouldn't that be the absolute bare minimum? Not something you triumphantly declare to millions?

I mean the iPhone was revolutionary technology, but if Steve Jobs held a press conference to say "The first iPhone has been shipped to the store, the packaging is completely intact", that would have been a bit suspect

There also seems to be confusion as to what *this* chip intends to do, and what Musk's 'plans' are
As in, *this* chip seems intended to restore movement to a paraplegic person? Details aren't exactly abundant (another reason to raise a sceptical eyebrow)

Don't get me wrong, it's great if anyone with Musk's clout wants to tackle disabilities and the like. But you'll forgive me if I find such altruism a bit out of character.
Aside from that... this isn't something he's invented. This has been going on for ages.

E.g. Swiss company used brain/tech interface approach to help a paralysed man walk again just last year
Not that I'm accusing Musk of seeing other people's achievements and saying "ACTUALLY, I DID THAT!" Perish the thought...

https://bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-65689580

Oh, then there's this “‘Initial results show promising neuron spike detection’, Musk added”.
Absolute corporate speak for 'nothing has happened yet'.
Like if your editor asks for an update on how your book is going and you reply with "The document is active on the desktop and all the formatting options are in place"

You can tell how little detail there is to this 'story' by how much of the articles about it are filled in with other announcement and related studies by someone else. Always a good sign that the main issue has a lot of substance, definitely.

Inevitably, the reports also include Musk's 'plans' for these brain chips. He wants to make it so everyone can 'control their devices with their thoughts'.
This is one of those things that sounds cool in principle. But in practice... why would you bother?
