I literally connected my brain to GPT-4 with JavaScript

I hacked my brain with a compact electroencephalogram (EEG) and connected it to GPT-4 with the OpenAI API. In this crazy tutorial, you'll learn how to use JavaScript to read your brainwaves.

Scariest thing about the future is that everything will be in JavaScript

[TheRealLX]

Scared because of Ai being able to read our brains? No.
Scared because this was done in JavaScript? Yes.

Awesome. All I need now is to learn Javascript

You being able to label thoughts specifically and accurately is actually huge, this mean you could hypothetically create a dataset on your thoughts and add it to the language model to interpret your thoughts if the sequences have continuity between related thoughts since it is sequential data.

Edit: To curb over-hyping this, a commenter below points out that it is likely infeasible with this device (I'm assuming due to the level of detail in the signals being processed from what they said)

Nothing like having your actual brain activity tied to an email and password

beware Fireship dude, you might damage your brain permanently when trying to program it with javascript sdk

[metaisac]

This reminded me of the Movie "Everything Everywhere All at Once", where the main character had a device connected to her head, and needed to do random things in order to accomplish something. Now it makes sense, she was connected to ChatGPT with Javascript.

This is actually cool, imagine having this kind of technology integrated into headphones and have the music change based on how you're feeling

Next up: fireship makes a brain computer interface using JavaScript

Fireship once: educator and inspirational programmer
Fireship today: the future is now, beware the future

What if you trained an ai model to correlate brain function to what you see on a screen? Or what you hear from a pair of headphones? Could you eventually get it to generate video/audio of what you're seeing/hearing? And what if you could use that video/audio stream in a live feedback loop to train your brain to project your own thoughts?

[omero]

Super impressive! You should make a whole series on this/applications

[TypeScriptTV]

Downloading brainwaves as JSON, because even our subconscious knows that XML is so last decade!

[redthered]

anyone noticed that when AI exploded recently, Fire started uploading more frequently??
Fire == AI

[cnordbakk]

Love the clipping of your narration towards the end!

[michaelcharlesthearchangel]

And I love it. The neural wrapper chain that you're creating looks awesome.

Fireship in 2024: I used quantum computers and AI to turn myself into an eldritch cyborg demon

"Connecting your brain to GPT-4 with JavaScript? That's some next-level coding! I can barely connect my coffee machine to WiFi without breaking something."
