ELON MUSK, another Victor FRANKENSTEIN. What a NUT! Doesn't anyone with common sense see how much of a nut Elon Musk is? "Tesla founder Elon Musk has launched tech startup Neuralink to build implants that connect human brains with computer interfaces via ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. The approaching technology would see groups of minuscule, flexible electrode "threads" IMPLANTED into the human brain by neurosurgical ROBOTS, These threads detect and record the electrical signals in the brain, and transmit this information outside the body. This has the potential to create a scalable HIGH BANDWIDTH brain-machine interface (BMI) system, meaning that it connects the brain to an external device to form a BRAIN MACHINE interface. First tests on humans by end of 2020 The goal is to use Neuralink to understand and treat different forms of brain or spine-related disorders. For instance, paralysed humans could use the implanted device to control phones or computers. However Musk also envisions the implant as a means of ENHANCING your own brain, giving humans the option to achieve a symbiosis with artificial intelligence (AI). This could eventually lead to a future of "superhuman intelligence", according to Musk. As Musk explained at the Neuralink Launch Event in San Francisco on 16 July, the idea is to create a "well-aligned future" that mitigates the supposed existential threat of AI. He and his team hope to test the system on a human patient before the end of 2020. Each group of threads could contain as many as 3,072 electrodes, which would be distributed across 96 threads.Musk's Neuralink startup has also built a neurosurgical robot that is capable of inserting six threads into the human brain per minute. Each thread is smaller than one tenth of the size of a human hair and contains 192 electrodes. Threads inserted by neurosurgery robot Each electrode group is encased inside a small implantable device that contains custom wireless chips, measuring four by four millimetres. The threads would be individually inserted into the brain "with micron precision" by a tiny needle at the end of the robot, which measures around 24 microns in diameter. This would be able to target specific parts of the brain and avoid damaging any blood vessels." https://www.dezeen.com/2019/07/22/elon-musk-neuralink-implant-ai-technology/ FRANKENSTEIN The Monster. The monster is Victor Frankenstein's creation, assembled from old body parts and strange chemicals, animated by a mysterious spark. He enters life eight feet tall and enormously strong but with the mind of a newborn.
