Some thoughts on the #Neuralink announcement. First of all, BMI is a really cool field, and I applaud anybody trying to move the field forward. However, as always, when @elonmusk is involved, there is a mix of grand vision and lots of bullshit...

Let's start with his claim that they are orders of magnitude ahead of anybody else in the field. He said that they have thousands of electrodes and the best FDA-approved device has tens. No #$%^. It takes ~17 years to get something through the FDA. Comparable state of the art...

All those issues aside, the presentation was exciting, and Neuralink is genuinely moving the field forward. Their electrode design is really cool, so is the robot. It's just sad the cool innovations have to be covered with a 3-foot layer of Musk's ego and BS. cc @KawasakiKR11

They first want use their device to help paralyzed people control digital devices. Admirable goal, but that's a pretty low-bandwidth task. I am confident that other teams will achieve that non-invasively, and won't have to go through the FDA, thus beating Neuralink to market.
