Are you guys realizing too that we are kind of in a golden age od technology again? New breakthroughs everywhere, massive gains in ai, robotics, brainchips, biotechnology, renewables, FSD, quantum computing and so on, what a time to be alove

Neuralink will be understood by the majority of Americans 2026, and relatively normal/accepted by 2031. It will be a part of everyday life for a significant number of regular Americans and a growing number of average people's lives across the world by 2036.
I personally signed up for the "Prime" (neuralink) clinical trial but I cannot participate in the trial because I have wires internally implanted in my abdomen for an FES device that allows me to breathe (called diaphragmatic pacing system) and a fully implanted cough stimulation device. But it's thankfully really happening and it will drastically improve the lives of quadriplegics such as myself.

Always looking forward to your uploads

[ricky]

Imagine having an interactive heads up display in your vision. That would be awesome!

[superrnovaa]

Electric vehicle, autonomous driving, ai, space, satellite WiFi, brain computer interface. Wow.

[maran]

Ability to increase one's intelligence to a power of x, would be tempting to get a chip planted in my brain.

[Muzick]

As always - another great episode about Neuralink! Thank you!

[theteenageexperiment]

2038 Is the year I reckon it'll be normal, I just hope their rate of advancement doesn't slow down

[BruceThomson]

I'd love to have a Neuralink even today, to open the digital gate out to all imaginable devices, enormously increasing my ability to sense, process, and transmit. 'Totally thrilling, I can't wait.
Remember, this is in conjunction with the torrent of AI and VR and robotics functionality emerging day by day, streamlining the speed and accuracy of the user learning and the data processing.
Thanks for the update.

[TravisCotter]

Neuralink makes me hopeful for the future. The possibilities are endless and interesting just to think about. Xman

[MS-rwrh]

I am learning fMRI, dMRI, epilepsy and boy my mind now blows aways from this breakthrough! Cant wait to get one soon to connect the mother net!

[marvintheys]

This is amazing. Imagine gaming for the average consumer, typing a Word document, doing a presentation, writing code, watching Netflix. With Blindsight could you stream a movie directly to your optic nerves and audio directly to your "audio" nerves. This is next level. The difference that they are making to enable sight to the blind, computer access to disabled people is a win for humanity. Not long before you will be able to cure Parkinsons?

[Alpha_Sigma]

I want a neuralink right now bro! ❤🎉 Thnx for the update!!!

[stvkls]

In order for brain implants to become as common as phones they need to get a lot smaller and easier to implant. There must be no doubt of their safety and must work better than phones.

[LudwigVonwanderflieh]

Im a big fan of youre company. I believe one day you will help many countries and people. Im glad you work with humans. I love bio or human hacking

[mmjvtnl]

I believe that Neurolink will be mainstream by 2030.

The Neuralink is very cool, but I have no doubt that future AR glasses like Orion will absolutely be the choice of the vast majority of people over some Neuralink device for the next decades, unless they can make a Neuralink that isn't invasive in the next decades and that also can make you see images that are indistinguishable from real life basically. For the foreseeable future, wearing a super-powered pair of glasses will be the way to go for a device that's basically going to be the new smartphone imo. And VR will be the way to go for when you want to be fully immersed in gaming and other experiences, which is the equivalent of the Switch or some other console or your gaming PC or Steam Deck. Chances are there will be plenty of hybrid MR devices that allow for both AR and MR at will, basically the Quest 3 but in a much smaller form factor. And maybe at some point way down the line a Neuralink type of device will finally be a genuine option for most people. But I think you're being way too optimistic and even somewhat naive if you think that's going to happen in say the next ten years or even 20 years or longer. Not just because the tech isn't as far along as some would believe, but just because getting some brain implant really won't be more normal than wearing basically a pair of glasses for AR for a long time, if ever, at least not beyond crazy places like LA or somewhere like that. But maybe in a hundred years we'll all be jacked into the Matrix, and that basically is the ultimate Neuralink at that point. The Matrix is a long way off though. That's my take anyway.

One step closer to absolute mind control. When we are all connected to artificial intelligence, the updates will make the change so gradual that we won't even notice it. Large corporations are totally unscrupulous, and they have always tried to manipulate the world's population. Now they have an excellent tool for their purposes, which have already been planned well in advance. If you start using their technology on your body, you will end up having to accept all the changes they want to make to your software, in the future. You will end up being a product of them, and you will be an automaton.

Neuralink: Elon Musk didn’t kill anyone this month!

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh…
