#Neuralink: Building safe implantable devices for recording neuralink.com/blog/building-sa #BCI #NeuroTech

Have you noticed that we are not at all afraid to discuss and highlight the merits of competitors of The vOICe, but that competitors of The vOICe are afraid of even mentioning or criticizing The vOICe? artificialvision.com/neuralink Guess why...

Neuralink Blog · Building Safe Implantable DevicesIn this blog post, we highlight several techniques we use to confirm the safety of our implants prior to launching clinical trials.

#Musk friends R making money by selling access to stakes in his private companies. A coterie of his associates tightly control the entry point to hard-to-get shares investors covet particularly in #SpaceX, #xAI, #Neuralink #BoringCompany per WSJ . A business w 2,000 “holders of record” is legally required to disclose financial information like a public company. 1 way to avoid that is for existing investors to sell shares of holding companies that own stakes in the Musk businesses to outsiders.

Continued thread

Neben der rechten Ideologie des "Transhumanismus", den #ElonMusk mit #Neuralink-Hirnchips und ähnlichem vorantreiben möchte, sind Leute wie er auch Fans des Longtermismus, den sie mit ihrem Einfluss zu propagieren versuchen.

'As I have previously written, longtermism is arguably the most influential ideology that few members of the general public have ever heard about. Longtermists have directly influenced reports from the secretary-general of the United Nations; a longtermist is currently running the RAND Corporation; they have the ears of billionaires like Musk; and the so-called Effective Altruism community, which gave rise to the longtermist ideology, has a mind-boggling $46.1 billion in committed funding. Longtermism is everywhere behind the scenes — it has a huge following in the tech sector — and champions of this view are increasingly pulling the strings of both major world governments and the business elite.'

Salon · Understanding "longtermism": Why this suddenly influential philosophy is so toxicWhatever we may "owe the future," it isn't a bizarre and dangerous ideology fueled by eugenics and capitalism

"Ich kann mich ja für Neues begeistern und sehe auch in dieser Technologiedurchaus Potenzial, aber mir von Elon #Musk beziehungsweise seinem Unternehmen einen Chip einbauen zu lassen, wäre das Letzte, was ich machen würde.Never ever! Ich bin doch nicht wahnsinnig!"

@Perspective @dangillmor
ETA:
👉#ElonMusk is very likely the globally most influential ultraright person of all times👈

X, Starlink, and TESLA give him global reach, Starlink power over many militaries and economies, #DOGE unheard of access to personal data of most Americans.

I agree. All of #Elmo's ventures 1) are a threat to humanity:

#TESLA
#X
#SpaceX 2)
#Neuralink
...

And 1.5 million in fines 1) is just "Peanuts" for him.

Financial Times · Chinese investors privately take stakes in Elon Musk’s companiesBy Sun Yu

"Wealthy Chinese investors are quietly funnelling tens of millions of dollars into private companies controlled by Elon Musk using an arrangement that shields their identities from public view, according to asset managers and investors involved in the transactions.

Since Musk was named a key figure in US President Donald Trump’s drive to remake the US government, China-based asset managers have been promoting the pair’s relationship as an enticement to raise capital from rich Chinese. The money is flowing into Musk’s non-public ventures including xAI, Neuralink and SpaceX, the world’s most valuable private company.

The investments are being placed through opaque structures known as special-purpose vehicles, which have the benefit of concealing the investors’ identities, to avoid the ire of US authorities and companies wary of Chinese capital during a nadir in relations between the two countries.

Asset managers behind the deals have told investors that the entities are specifically designed to avoid disclosure."

Editorial illustration done with Micron pens and black markers. My satirical take on Elon Musk pushing neural implants... Basically a play on mind-body duality...

@georgetakei #tesla is only one asset with others of much more value - #starklink #SpaceX, #X, TheBoring Company, #Neuralink Corporation, #OpenAI, #SolarCity, #PayPal Everyone needs to Act with the same passion, relentless demonstrations and protests, and calls for divestment by states, pension plans, countries, entities, and all market investments, as has been done for years against #Israel. Either we all stand For America or We All Lose America.
