Part 12/16:
Amidst political and economic chaos, the conversation shifts to technological advances, especially in brain-machine interfaces. A groundbreaking development is described: a subnano brain implant that records activity in awake mice for a year without wires or batteries, powered by light and capable of transmitting data wirelessly. This indicates that the merging of humans and computers is nearer than many might think.
They discuss Elon Musk’s Neuralink projects, noting that such technologies are already being used for medical purposes like aiding quadriplegics and suggest that within a decade, healthy humans could begin augmenting their brains with similar devices. The timeline projects widespread adoption in 10-15 years, with some early tech possibly emerging before high school graduation.
