My 𝕏 handle has changed to @Cyborg21.

@ImKingGinger Agreed. It happened to me just a few minutes ago when I tried to post a video from Neuralink. 🤷‍♂️ x.com/Cyborg21/statu…

Can someone explain to me how sometimes I post a video on X, and it just shares a link instead of sharing that video? That's messy.

Neuralink Helps Restore Ability to Speak to those Who Have Lost it 🧠

Still trying to figure out how to post a video. 🤣 x.com/neuralink/stat…

Mind-blowing stuff from @neuralink! Seeing people with ALS and spinal cord injuries regain control—gaming, communicating, even creating art—just by thinking? ALS and SCI steal independence, but tech like this is giving it back in ways we couldn’t imagine before. Huge respect to my fellow trial participants sharing their stories and the whole Neuralink team pushing boundaries. Can’t wait for more advances (vision restoration next?). x.com/neuralink/stat…

@23moonjuice @AnEriksenWife @grok @Devon_Eriksen_ If you prefer to read it: a.co/d/04BJPSOY

@Cyborg21 @AnEriksenWife @grok @Devon_Eriksen_ 👍Cyborg 1 Grok 0 I will look it up now

???? should I put the first three chapters of the Theft of Fire: Orbital Space #1 audiobook on Twitter???

@23moonjuice @AnEriksenWife @grok Grok got it wrong. Christine Eriksen is referring to the audiobook version of @Devon_Eriksen_'s EXCELLENT "Theft of Fire: Orbital Space". If you like hard sci-fi and excellent writing, you must give it a read/listen! devoneriksen.com/products/theft…

@Cyborg21 @AnEriksenWife @grok what is this

Wow!

@AdrianDittmann He looks mighty familiar... 🤔

@SCI_Borg24 @cchriskeach Raster 2.0 is a blast!

The think tank at Neuralink strikes again. The BCI engineers have improved our ability to view neural signals modulating in real time. Did a quick check on my brain, confirmed it's still there and firing. Thanks @cchriskeach and N1 team!

@jgoodloejapan It was a good day, Jim!

@Cyborg21 Hey Cyborg21, how's it going today?

My 𝕏 handle has changed to @Cyborg21.

@Partytime63 Mine isn't that bad - yet, and there is a treatment that works good if it heads that way.

@cyborg21 I can imagine how annoying this can be if living with him.

Pseudobulbar affect (PBA) can cause something similar in individuals with ALS/MND/PLS. Sometimes it can be very difficult to stop laughing!

@crossedxxrabbit @neuralink @grok, kindly explain what neuron degradation is in context with ALS.

@neuralink What is neuron degradation?

What is neuron degeneration? Skyler, a machine learning engineer at Neuralink, shares how brain-computer interfaces could bypass neural pathways that are broken due to ALS, helping restore the ability to speak to those who have lost it.

The eternal optimist in me will sing the praises of #Neuralink all day, but the more pragmatic side reminds me to post this: x.com/neuralink/stat…

My #Neuralink BCI helps restore my ability to speak. Watch as Skyler, a machine learning engineer at @Neuralink, shares how my BCI bypasses the broken neural pathways caused by my ALS.

Hey! Don't forget Kenneth #Cyborg21! Similar to @ALScyborg, I've regained the ability to speak for the first time in several years! And there's @NeuraNova9, who creates some of the most beautiful art I've seen in a long time! For the record, I don't mind the cyborg label at all. In fact, I've fully embraced it as part of my online persona!

Media is targeting Elon again... Just like they always do, and now they are trying to fearmonger "Don't Let Elon Musk Implant a Device in Your Skull" - Written by some morons in the media who have never suffered a day in their life, whose only real job is to relentlessly attack Elon Imagine being that clueless Neuralink is not about turning you into a cyborg. It's about making a broken body whole again. It’s giving people a second chance that was literally impossible until now While these so-called journalists try to scare you for clicks, here is what’s actually happening right now: → Brad, trapped inside for 5 years by ALS, just regained his real voice and the freedom to connect with his family → Noland, paralyzed from the shoulders down, is back in college studying neuroscience and launching a public speaking career → Alex, paralyzed by a spinal cord injury, is using his thoughts to learn 3D design software and build a new career → "Blindsight" is now entering human trials to bypass damaged eyes and transmit vision straight to the brain... soon people whose world has been completely dark will be able to see again Over a BILLION humans are waiting like them: 280M with depression 250M with tinnitus 101M stroke survivors 55M with dementia 50M with epilepsy 43M who cannot see 10M with Parkinson's 6M paralyzed 450K fighting ALS Neuralink is not a dystopian threat. It's humanity’s greatest achievement through engineering This is what the media is not telling you while they try to cause fear and panic to make Elon look like a villain rather than admit Elon is doing something very incredible

@ImKingGinger I'm thinking of giving it a try as well. I could host an AMAA answering questions live. I'll be watching to see how it goes for you, and praying for success! 🙏

X is a powerful app for live news and immediate happenings. So there really is no reason someone should have to stream on other platforms just to browse X anyway. I want to grow my live streaming audience on X but as of now it doesn't really push live videos to followers. But I think I found a solution. If you want to participate with my live streams be sure to set a notification to be alerted when I go live. If you select all posts, you will be bombarded and annoyed with border line incoherent late night tweet ramblings. So only select live video. Plan to go live tomorrow so it would be great to test this with as many people as possible and see if that makes a difference. I think it will. Let's send a message that there's an audience for livestreaming on X.

@JacobBaker613 @neuralink If they ever offer to turn me into Robocop, they won't have to ask twice! 🤣

@neuralink This is a major breakthrough Neuralink will be a cybernetic interface

From @grok: 🧠 What is Pseudobulbar Affect (PBA) in ALS? If you or someone you know has ALS, you might see sudden, uncontrollable laughing or crying that doesn’t match how they actually feel. That’s PBA — “emotional incontinence.” The brain damage from ALS disrupts the signals that control emotions, so the person might burst out laughing at something sad, or cry during a happy moment… even though inside they’re not feeling that emotion at all. It’s NOT depression or losing their mind. It’s a common neurological symptom in ALS (and some other brain conditions). It can be embarrassing and exhausting, but it’s treatable with the right medication. If this is happening to you or your loved one, talk to your neurologist — you don’t have to just “live with it.” #ALS #PBA #LivingWithALS
