Neuralink’s first patient in the UK, Paul, who is paralyzed by motor neuron disease, has received a brain implant. Just hours after surgery, he was able to control a computer with his thoughts and is now using it to play games and regain independence.






Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI) is building a new breed of AI systems that understand the world, have persistent memory, can reason and plan, and are controllable and safe. We’ve raised a $1.03B (~€890M) round from global investors who believe in our vision of universally intelligent systems centered on world models. This round is co-led by Cathay Innovation, Greycroft, Hiro Capital, HV Capital, and Bezos Expeditions, along with other investors and angels across the world. We are a growing team of researchers and builders, operating in Paris, New York, Montreal and Singapore from day one. Read more: amilabs.xyz AMI - Real world. Real intelligence.

I have always said Matrix level VR(also popularly known as Full-Dive VR) is coming. It is VR with all sensory perceptions - true sight & hearing, smell, taste, touch, chronoception, thermoception, etc. The nail in the coffin should have been the confirmation of Ray Kurzweil 1/🧵



Elon Musk has clearly confirmed: Next-generation Neuralink cybernetic augment with 3X capability will be ready by the end of 2026. Specific application benefits include: Telepathy: Smoother device control, speed close to natural thought. Blindsight: Higher visual resolution (from low-resolution pixelated → mid/high-resolution), easier and more accurate mapping of receptive neuron fields. VOICE: Faster and more accurate translation of imagined speech, natural-sounding synthesized speech. Full body (Optimus): More detailed reading of motor signals → smoother robot movement, better haptic feedback. New potential: Early support for Parkinson's disease (accurate DBS), dementia (hippocampus stimulation), and even healthy augmentation (cognitive enhancement).
