    In this episode, Ryan interviews former Neuralink Engineer, Han Zhang. Han worked at Neuralink from November 2018 - December 2019.
    Neura Pod is a series covering topics related to Neuralink, Inc. Topics such as brain-machine interfaces, brain injuries, and artificial intelligence will be explored. Host Ryan Tanaka synthesizes information, shares opinions, and conducts interviews to easily learn about Neuralink and its future.
    Most people aren't aware of what the company does, or how it does it. If you know other people who are curious about what Neuralink is doing, this is a nice summary episode to share. Tesla, SpaceX, and the Boring Company are going to have to get used to their newest sibling. Neuralink is going to change how humans think, act, learn, and share information.

    ‘The brain is an organ - it’s not really supposed to have anything implanted in it’ Han Zhang.
    We are missing the point of being human in this future. Novelty will teach us and it will be irreversible.
    We need people to understand what it is to be human and stop consuming to much sugar not fix someone’s brain who’s consuming to much sugar.
    It’s scary beyond conception.

      But if we all get artificial brains and bodies then we can all live like Bender from Futurama. We won't have a be responsible for anything and we can all be as greedy, glutinous, lustful, and dangerous as we want. We will all be immortal gods and goddesses! Can you imagine the power, so much power. But weak and feeble organic humans will no longer be born, they will be grown, and when some super genius decides to make a replicator toy for their child, and the replicators take over and start consuming metal and rip open our artificial bodies, then we will be forced to live out the rest of our days in a weak and pitiful organic body like the Asgard from Stargate. I'm just being humorous but I actually totally agree with you, but unfortunately the vast greater majority of humanity wants to indulge in it's sinful nature. Sinfulness gives us so much pleasure and actually taking care of ourselves and living a healthy life is just so boring. There's nothing like a near death experience that will make people feel more alive, and actually dying and then coming back to life again, well that just makes people feel like a god or goddess.

      Thousand of lives are prolonged and saved every year thanks to heart implants such as automated defibrillators and pacemakers. I wouldn’t think of it as a way to help people “stop consuming so much sugar”, it’s more about helping people with severe neurodegenerative diseases such as an advanced Parkinson’s or even the possibility of healing extensive brain trauma, which with our current technology and understanding would just result in the loss of whatever motor function was affected.
      Can't wait for what the future holds.

    • @GetUpFalcon
      @GetUpFalcon Год назад +1

      I agree. The first humans with this technology implanted will be 99% human 1% AI. In very short order that ratio will be reversed.
      An organic human will soon be a minority, at a minimum. It is my opinion they won’t be allowed to co exist as a large percentage do not easily conform to a system of control - which is clearly where we are heading.
      I fully expect that by the end of the decade I won’t be welcome in my environment. Strange times.

Thanks for sharing this with us 🙏🏽 That last point was very philosophical & makes me think of the cannabis plant 🌱 for tonnes of generations it moved around with us, was banned & then brought back into the light 💡 w/ scientific research 🧪 When I grew up (as a teenager) it was something one felt had to be hidden, now you can go to licensed dispensaries 🍁which test all batches of products for banned substances, heavy metal + they present cannabinoid content in % and milligrams. So now there’s access to “Okay I want to have 1mg CBD & 1mg THC in a spray format (of just cannabis, + other natural essential oils for flavour sometimes ie mint & cocoa) , before going for a workout” instead of the old hidden way of just 💨 Bongs & Joints of if your lucky medicinal grade plant matter.

      @ben esterberg you clearly don't know what you're talking about. The best Tesla and Nuralink engineers have left. Just look at their turn over rate, and the people starting their own companies. Lex Friedman has many on his podcast. What good is all the money in the world of you don't have a life to live? Also, if they leave within 5years because they don't want to work every hour under the sun, the "shares" don't amount to much. The people you've mentioned from Space X are original employees which have been promoted.. hence they're not worked to death.
      Yes the greatest tend to be obsessed in the field but a vast majority of those people never had bosses. Tesla himself didn't last long under management, Einstein had his own team. They work at their own pace and get shit done. I have no intentions of being the best Plumber, because of family and social reasons. Life isn't all about work and you're a fool if you think one person can change everything.. the best you can hope for is leaving the foundations and eventually we'll get there. Then it boils down to, what is your definition of world changing. Wake the fuck up

    Han Zhang says something fascinatingly true and which we still don’t really understand, let alone predict: « strange EMERGENT phenomena can happen when you interconnect things ». It refers to complex systems but not only: to complex dynamic systems with many interconnected feedback loops. Reminds us of chaos theory, far from equilibrium thermodynamics, origin of life on earth, and more - all these aspects being themselves connected. I find it fascinating that an engineer like Han, whose job is to be very precise and analytical, also has in mind the synthetic/synergistic (as opposed to analytic) aspects of things. I guess AI and BMI forces this on us. He does say that many disciplines need to come together to do these things.
    About uploading one’s consciousness in some digital AI system: the problem is, how can we upload somethingwe don’t understand, or that might not even physically exist other than as a « mental model », a representation that the brain builds? And then there is that other aspect of Life that animals, as well as humans, have but machines don’t: sentience, or the inner experience of being alive, of seeing colours, of feeling pain or happiness, of loving someone, of spirituality, etc. I don’t know about the future, but it would be truly surprising if an AI machine, even one with all our personal knowledge and memories, could be made to « experience » any of these. But who knows: BMIs do not , it seems, replace a biological system but enhances it in the cognitive (and biomechanical) realm: the biological individual still has his or her biological brain… and heart to experience life with!
    - Thanks for a very interesting and thought-provoking video. Good luck with the future!

    At 30:37, I don't think it's possible for an artificial human brain to be more energy efficient than an organic human brain. It's so compact and precise and elastic. Especially considering the elasticity of the organic human brain, I just don't think it's possible for an artificial human brain to match that.

We do also have to take better responsibility over our own lives. The only problem with this kind of power on a global scale (remote controlled citizens), too late mightn’t allow any chance of us even realizing it’s happening. We already can’t see how we can and are being manipulated by media and it obviously not to the majority’s benefit. The amount of tyranny that’s rampant in the world today is shocking and not surprising there’s an intense push to make this technological potential a reality.

    There is a specific type of circuit design which is called Neuromorphic circuit design with spiking neural network computation which enables fast computation for AI. Basically it is the silicon brain of the AI. A similar approach can be done for silicon human brain.

    Pushing the fear frontier in aspects that doesnt endanger us physically, say the ones that psychology deals with where we know a certain amount of information but simply cannot get more information in a natural way without altering the participant in an unnatural way(ie pharmaceutical),but rather re directing brain signals in a way that overides usual responses that would make it otherwise illogical or trigger warnings,but have a level of comprehension relating to the task or feeling etc.
