RT @antonioregalado: A Neuralink founder is now questioning whether the Elon Musk brain-interface company is rushing too fast to get a high-bandwidth connection to human brains. https://t.co/UTDwwEtBd4

Elon Musk’s brain-interface company is promising big news. Here’s what it could be.

We think Neuralink, which develops brain-machine interfaces, is recording from the neurons of monkeys as a stepping stone toward humans.

@jennifercobbe I'm sorry, I think you're probably only part right about that. A lot of people still say in all seriousness that AI wrote a movie https://t.co/GY08m64bTO, or that a robot was made a citizen of Saudi Arabia https://t.co/fPAkLky7tX (it wasn't, just an "honorary" citizen)

A hospital introduced a robot to help nurses. They didn’t expect it to be so popular

Moxi is a robot designed to make nurses’ lives easier. But the friendly bot is turning out to be a welcome presence for some patients, too.
