Turning on the soccer halfway through and halfheartedly supporting France to repay them for them for the Revolutionary War. 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

Sat down with @shaunmmaguire recently to talk through where Neuralink is and where it's going. A few things that came up: - over 20 participants now, more than 45,000 hours of BCI use — people controlling computers and speaking again with their thoughts, still hits me every time - the implant with tiny flexible threads is impressive, but so are the surgical robots, microfab, and assembly lines needed to deliver BCI at scale (arguably harder to build) - our current focus is restoration of function - but the brain doesn't think in keystrokes, what we're really after is direct transfer of concepts, no compression, no language bottleneck - most timelines are just friction people have accepted as normal, and we often ask: if every light were green, how fast could you physically build this? - the caregivers and families of our participants don't get enough credit — their stories of love, sacrifice, and resilience keep us showing up the way we do youtube.com/watch?v=by7Y9KoE…

if you treat the AI like you’re smart and it’s dumb, you get a productive assistant. if you have the AI treat you like you’re dumb and it’s smart, you get a great instructor. if you have the AI treat you like you’re smart and it’s smart, you get psychosis.

My team created more US manufacturing jobs last week. More to come. Can’t stop us

.@sendcutsend is hardly a secret, especially if you're in the business of making hardware. but people outside of hardware land probably do not realize that it has taken over such a huge swath of american manufacturing when it comes to making metal parts. SCS is the only option versus getting stuff made in china in many cases. and the company kinda came out of nowhere. we went to reno to check out its operations and hang with its founder and ceo @jimbelosic to get the story on how all this happened youtube.com/watch?v=Z0bjZbiR…
