Neuralink plans 'high-volume' brain implant production by 2026, Musk says

Original Story By Reuters


BENGALURU, Dec 31 (Reuters) - Elon Musk's brain implant company Neuralink will start "high-volume production" of brain-computer interface devices and move to an entirely automated surgical procedure in 2026, Musk said in a post on the social media platform X on Wednesday.

Neuralink did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

The implant is designed to help people with conditions such as a spinal cord injury. The first patient has used it to play video games, browse the internet, post on social media, and move a cursor on a laptop.

My computer has to be connected for my printer to work. The printer cartridge has a chip in it, so it's counting my carbon footprints and surely telling HP how much (and maybe what) I'm printing. As advertised, I'll get what was promised from the cartridge, but nothing more, even though I can feel the toner inside sloshing around when I shake the cartridge.

I used to buy HP printers. I found much better printers at lower prices (Brother), and it's easy to work around brother's low toner messages. It used to take a little piece of electrical tape over a sensor on the toner cartridge. On my latest Brother I can actually flip a switch to have it ignore the low toner itself. When the pages start only partially printing then I know it's time for a new toner cartridge, generic, of course.

My instapot was somehow connected to the internet. I finally figured out that I downloaded the app that goes with it and it's linking itself somehow through the app on my phone. I've never directly connected appliances to the internet... I know that my robot vacuum cleaners are connected and surely spying on us...

We have a smart refrigerator and once in awhile, you can hear what sounds like a fainting telephone ring. I just know that oversized narc appliance is telling big brother Im opening the fridge too many times a day and overeating food best eaten by younger working folks.
