BCI, digitization of the human experience, the future of business, money and consciousness ✉️ [email protected]
Last week I spoke to Noland Arbaugh @ModdedQuad about his journey & his views on a BCI future. Then we drew some lines together on a shared canvas: him controlling the cursor using his thoughts (via @neuralink), and me - the old school way, using a computer trackpad.
Bio AI is really interesting, simply because it promises to use 1 million times less energy than silicon based AI. Yes, one million x less. I spoke to some top scientists in this field this week and will be posting the interviews on my page the next few days.
Scientists create biological 'artificial intelligence' system Australian scientists have developed PROTEUS (PROTein Evolution Using Selection), a biological AI system that evolves and designs new or improved molecules directly in mammalian cells. PROTEUS operates in human like…
Bitcoin has just hit a new ATH. The Bitcoin network and its super fast adoption is perhaps the best example of a 'physical to neural' transformation in history. Money was once physical, then digital. The 'seed phrase' approach makes access to the network completely neural -…
Language is simply a proxy to meaning, a compression later. Ultimately with BCIs we will bypass language and be able to exchange meaning directly with each other and with AI
The brain will become the biggest open marketplace in the future
Super in-depth infographic detailing how the human brain works.
'Telegraphese' is a language that used abbreviations & codes to convey more info with fewer characters due to limited message capacity for pigeons and telegraphs. An analog compression algorithm of the late 19th / early 20th centuries. It would pack information into the…
Everyone is currently super focused on AI. Talent, capital, headlines. But people are underestimating the huge shift in human experience that BCIs will bring. We are about to open up the full potential of the human brain and dramatically alter reality - within the next decade.
A new marketplace is forming: inside the mind. The small inner moments of doubt, awe, daze or daydream now become addressable. The BCI portal will open access to all the tiny flickers that take place inside our heads. Products will soon be designed for every one of these…
Combat robots run quite sophisticated physics computations. The primary goal is to not fall down, while working through a series of physical and motion variables through which they need to knock down the competitor. Quite a decisive win at the end of this one.

Having an extra robotic thumb could increase your range of movement and improve your hand grip strength, precision, and dexterity. Neuroplasticity allows these external devices to be accepted as a part of the brain control system naturally and surprisingly quickly.
Last year in @SciRobotics, researchers followed up on their development of Third Thumb—a robotic appendage that, when trialed by members of the general public, was a big hit. Learn more: scim.ag/44gpJfb #ScienceMagArchives
What if we didn't have rely on sight, sound, touch or any of the senses as an input mechanism? With BCIs, could we completely skip the medium and deliver the signal directly to the brain?
While the world of modern interfaces has been dominated by the eye and the ear, some of the most powerful communication systems have never relied on vision or sound at all. Braille, invented by Louis Braille in 1824 and still used today, is a perfect example. A raised-dot…
The brain will become the biggest marketplace
The writing is on the wall, the media still fairly quiet. BCIs are about to enter the mainstream much sooner than anyone thinks. The highlighted snippet is from @MorganStanley 's research paper on Brain Computer Interfaces:
Given most people consider AI a safe space to ask or reveal anything, a form of ‘AI privilege’ is absolutely required - with the same protections and limitations as ones that fall with personal therapist or lawyers.
AI privacy is critically important as users rely on AI more and more. the new york times claims to care about tech companies protecting user’s privacy and their reporters are committed to protecting their sources. but they continue to ask a court to make us retain chatgpt…
Filming some of my talks on how thoughts, emotions, and cognitive states are fast becoming a part of the digital economy of the future.
Two decades in marketing taught me one thing: in order to deliver a message, our job is to make people FEEL. Visuals, sound, language or a combination of all. With BCIs, we will be able to skip the senses and deliver messages and emotion directly to the brain, no translation…
