Part 9/16:
A recurring theme in Musk's discourse was his belief that nature's laws—particularly physics—do not impose insurmountable barriers to Neuralink's goals. He argued that processes not violating conservation laws can be optimized and accelerated, emphasizing that progress is limited only by our ingenuity. Tasks like rapid electrode placement or stable neural signal extraction are simply engineering challenges, not fundamental impossibilities.
He envisions future interfaces reading from a billion neurons with electrodes capable of detecting signals from thousands of neurons each, ultimately aiming for a full-brain read-write capability. This would unlock unprecedented understanding and manipulation of brain functions.
