Elon Musk’s Neuralink microchip implanted into patient’s brain at University of Miami

Dr. Jagid and his team executed the implant on RJ just months ago.

“This device is completely invisible, you know, to anybody else that interacts with somebody who has it implanted. The other thing that makes it very unique is how it’s been miniaturized. It’s a very small device,” Dr. Jagid said.

During Neuralink’s summer update on the trial, they showed the moment one participant was able to move a cursor with his thoughts.

THIS Problem Prevents a MERGER Between X.AI and Tesla Stock

Questions to inspire discussion.

🏢 Q: What are Elon Musk’s current ownership stakes in Tesla and XAI? A: Musk owns 55% of XAI and 12.9% of Tesla, with potential to increase his Tesla ownership to 20% through a compensation package.

💰 Q: How do the valuations of XAI and Tesla compare? A: XAI’s valuation is expected to reach $200 billion in the next round, while Tesla’s valuation is approximately $1 trillion.

Potential Conflicts and Risks.

⚖️ Q: What conflict of interest exists for Elon Musk in a potential merger? A: Musk’s significant ownership in both companies creates a conflict of interest in merger discussions, as he must balance his interests in XAI (55% ownership) and Tesla (12.9–20% ownership).

🔒 Q: What control risk does Elon Musk face with Tesla? A: Musk currently lacks the 25% voting control needed for major decisions in Tesla, presenting a non-trivial control risk that could be mitigated through Tesla’s investment in XAI. ## Key Insights.

Can we upload consciousness to computers? | Pigliucci, Yampolskiy, Sandberg, Dijkstra

Massimo Pigliucci, Roman Yampolskiy, Anders Sandberg, and Nadine Dijkstra discuss the latest developments in neuroscience and computer programming.

Can we upload our minds to computers?

With a free trial, you can watch the full debate NOW at https://iai.tv/video/consciousness-in-the-clouds?utm_source=…escription.

The idea of uploading our minds to the digital cloud has not only been taken seriously by Silicon Valley, but turned into a detailed business plan. Elon Musk claims digitising consciousness will revolutionise humanity, and the industry is estimated to be worth $50 billion by 2030. But it’s unknown whether, in principle, we can replicate minds with computer code, or whether we should seek to do so. Critics argue we have no idea how a machine could create consciousness, and neuroscientists have yet to provide an explanation for how the brain does so. A survey of specialists by Nature found the majority thought it unlikely AI would achieve consciousness anytime soon.

Should we see talk of uploading our minds to the cloud as implausible tech marketing nonsense? Should we conclude that if thought and consciousness are unobservable, it will not be possible to replicate the mind with silicon chips? Or is digital immortality such a profound and important sea change in our lives and potential that we should pursue it at all costs?

🚀 Q: How might Elon Musk’s diverse projects contribute to Tesla’s value? A: Musk’s involvement in AI, energy, transportation, and communication through projects like Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink demonstrates his capacity to make progress on multiple fronts, potentially creating significant value for Tesla.

Political Involvement and Economic Strategy.

🏛️ Q: Why is Elon Musk getting involved in politics? A: Musk’s political involvement aims to create a better political system on Earth, addressing the unsustainability of US government spending and debt to avoid a fiscal doom loop.

📊 Q: What is Musk’s strategy to improve the US economy? A: Musk plans to accelerate GDP growth through AI-driven growth, humanoid bots, and reducing government spending and waste, potentially breaking free from the constant 7% growth line of the US stock market.

💰 Q: How could reducing government spending benefit the economy? A: By cutting wasteful spending and implementing a balanced budget requirement, the US could potentially grow its economy faster than its spending, reducing interest costs and freeing up money for other investments.
