BRAIN CHIP NEWS: Synchron Chips and Future Developments

•

BRAIN CHIP NEWS: Synchron chips can now be used to interact with Amazon's Alexa. Plus, more developments from FutureHouse, ChessDotCom, US ARPA-H, UC Davis, Cornell, and Neuralink. Here's everything that happened in the last weeks:

BCI becomes mainstream when people can do everyday chores with it. An excellent demonstration are the efforts by Synchron: x.com/synchroninc/status/1835679007779717214?t=k5r04z-NtlutGp-400DXWA&s=19

Thomas put this well in his post: x.com/tomoxl/status/1835680551417643115?t=k5r04z-NtlutGp-400DXWA&s=19

OpenAI's o1 might be at PhD level but I doubt it can do this. Congrats to Sam for this release. These efforts are going to accelerate all types of science, including brain chips. x.com/SGRodriques/status/1833908643856818443?t=k5r04z-NtlutGp-400DXWA&s=19

In case you haven't finished this marathon, I greatly recommend going back to it. It is a true marvel. I also did a mega thread on it here: x.com/neurosock/status/1819424223841939836?t=k5r04z-NtlutGp-400DXWA&s=19

Noland has been making strides towards showing the world the powers of brain chips. Marvelous. x.com/chesscom/status/1832812977986113787?t=k5r04z-NtlutGp-400DXWA&s=19

Neuralink confirmed there's now a second participant: x.com/neuralink/status/1826366877188456894?t=k5r04z-NtlutGp-400DXWA&s=19

Ben had a great post on Neurotech numbers: x.com/bfockter/status/1827770226450051357?t=smA1pIxyT7eSG6V1U64ZRA&s=19

Great work from the UC Davis team: 👏🏽👏👏🏿 x.com/Maitreyee_W/status/1826306031175303492?t=smA1pIxyT7eSG6V1U64ZRA&s=19

The brain of Theseus. Ambitious plan. I had always thought this could be done with chips but this idea is not absurd at all. Thanks Yana for sharing! x.com/dicortona/status/1825265358875279775?t=smA1pIxyT7eSG6V1U64ZRA&s=19
