Augie Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 That’s what I’ve been doing posting here for years as a test subject. You don’t think I’d do THAT much typing, do you? I can’t even begin to imagine what future generations will see, and not that far down the road. When I was a kid we didn’t even have calculators and for a phone families shared a party line. Now? The knowledge of mankind is accessed by way of a phone in your pocket. Not that long ago the Wright brothers managed a brief flight. Now? We drive remote control cars around on Mars. What will our children and grandchildren see? I can’t even imagine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla, SpaceX, Boring, & Neurolink are each amazing technical achievements that he created. If he is correct on Neurolink, it could address a myriad of health issues via a device rather than medication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last couple months my 11 year old dog has started has started coming into the family room after dinner and seriously STARES me down! I tell my wife she is sending me a message that she wants her to take her for a walk. My wife says “she’s standing there staring DIRECTLY at YOU!” Telling her we get better reception that way has yet to work. If my dog could just send me a text, it would be easier to ignore. Persistent little thing, standing there staring...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we walk the neighborhood we have to be careful to keep her away from any pet cats, lest she bring shame on our family by getting whooped by a ***** cat! I ain’t askeerd of that fluff ball! But I may sleep with one eye open, now that you mention it.....she’s quite clever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neuralink received ‘breakthrough device designation’ by the FDA last month (July). That is mentioned in the video from yesterday. Musk also said they were working closely with the FDA. This designation will assist for initiating clinical trials which were also mentioned as starting soon for paraplegia and tetraplegia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Don't hold you breath waiting for typing by thought. They are still trying to get voice recognition right. AI is a massively harder nut to crack than people think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
