"this rat borg collective ended up [performing] better than single rats"

17 May 2024 at 08:39
Conscious Ants and Human Hives by Peter Watts has an entertaining take on Neuralink.

In breif, Watts doubts Neuralink could provide "faster internet" in the sense Neuralink markets to investors, but other darker markets exist.. Around fiction, if you've read Blindsight and Echopraxia then The Colonel touches amusizingly employs Watts perspective on hiveminds. "Attack of the Hope Police: Delusional Optimism at the End of the World?" is lovely latlk too. Also "The Collapse Is Coming. Will Humanity Adapt?" by Peter Watts.

According to the research firm Quilty Space, SpaceX's Starlink satellite Internet business is now profitable.

During a webinar on Thursday, analysts from the firm outlined the reasons why they think SpaceX has been able to achieve a positive cash flow in its space Internet business just five years after the first batch of 60 satellites were launched.

The co-founder of the firm, Chris Quilty, said the rapidity of Starlink's rise surprised a lot of people, including himself. "A lot of industry veterans kind of scoffed at the idea," he said. "We'd seen this before."

The first invasive brain chip that Neuralink embedded into a human brain has malfunctioned, with neuron-surveilling threads appearing to have become dislodged from the participant's brain, the company revealed in a blog post Wednesday.

It's unclear what caused the threads to become "retracted" from the brain, how many have retracted, or if the displaced threads pose a safety risk. Neuralink, the brain-computer interface startup run by controversial billionaire Elon Musk, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Ars. The company said in its blog post that the problem began in late February, but it has since been able to compensate for the lost data to some extent by modifying its algorithm.

Neuralink touts that its invasive implant includes 64 flexible threads carrying a total of 1,024 electrodes that can detect neuronal activity. Those flexible threads—described as thinner than a human hair—are inserted individually into the brain by the company's proprietary surgical robot. The goal is for the threads to be placed near neurons of interest so that signals detected by the electrodes can be recorded and decoded into intended actions, such as moving a cursor on a computer screen.
