Neuralink is the company of Elon Musk. Neuralink treats the brains of people. Recently, Neuralink has put a special computer-brain chip into the brain of someone. The person has got better results after the surgery. The person can now move a computer mouse just by thinking. This shows that Neuralink is making progress in helping people regain lost abilities. These lost abilities are related to moving and seeing. They also include improving memory and intelligence.
Elon Musk’s Neuralink Achieves Milestone:
The first person got a brain chip from Neuralink. Elon Musk said that the patient seemed to be doing well after the January surgery. He mentioned this during an event hosted by journalist Katherine Brodsky on Monday. The surgery, done with the help of Neuralink’s surgical robot, was a big step for the company.
Now they are trying to connect brains directly to computers. They got permission in September to test the device on patients with paralysis. This can help them control computers with their thoughts. This surgery can also help them to regain lost abilities.
Elon Musk said that things are going well. The patient does not seem to have any problems from the surgery. Furthermore, they can move a computer mouse around just by thinking about it.
Neural Ink’s Success:
Neuralink is working on letting people control computers by just thinking. Elon Musk said that he wants to make brains of people to perform more than one task. Like pressing buttons or moving a mouse. However, they are aiming to have more options for controlling computers with thoughts. Musk further said that this is making good progress overall.
Brain Chip Implant Enhances Human Abilities:
Neuralink is in the early stages of development and testing. The potential of this technology to read minds is interesting. However, the possibility of computer mind control is still far away. Currently, the company is focusing on helping people with paralysis or vision problems. Elon Musk founder of this company.
He has said they want to create products that let users control devices just by thinking. Moreover, it is just like a kind of “telepathy”. They are also working on ways to help blind people see again. In the future, they hope their technology can improve the memory of everyone. Also, people become smarter.
However, implanting devices into the brains of healthy people is a very complicated process. It will take many years or even decades to happen. Other companies are also working on similar things. Right now, the main focus of Neuralink and other companies is on helping sick people. Moreover, they do not focus on making healthy people smarter or stronger.
Twitter Rebranded as X:
Elon Musk acquired controversially Twitter and changed its name to X in 2022. He made many changes to the X app. For example, he removed verification and content rules. These changes led to much criticism. Many advertisers have left X due to these changes. The main aim of Musk is to turn X into an “everything app”. He wants this app to be similar to the app in China named WeChat. He believes could become a trillion-dollar venture.
During the X Spaces event, Musk discussed the future of the platform. He plans to add new features next year. They will include group video chats. X (Twitter) will have many financial services, long videos, and better searches. AI will used to recommend content.
