We agree that the potential is phenomenal! Other than your launch event, how can @sbarnettARK, @jwangARK, and @ARKInvest learn more?
Elon Musk@elonmusk· Feb 3, 2020@TeslaGong @ElonsBrain @CathieDWood @ARKInvest It will ultimately be used to make up for entire lost sections of the brain due to stroke/accident/congenital. Don’t want to get too excited, but the potential is truly transformational for restoring brain & motor functions. There is no other way to do it imo.

First, we need to make it super safe & easy to use, then determine greatest utility vs risk. From initially working to volume production & implantation is a long road. As with vehicle safety, it will be much harder to pass our internal standards than minimum regulatory standards.

Ok sure 😀 Btw, we recruit great engineers from almost anywhere in the world, so this shouldn’t be thought of as USA only. Also, work location can be Bay Area (preferred), but Austin (many of our chip designers are there) or potentially any Tesla Gigafactory.

Nothing medically dangerous, but 5g is getting a bit too greedy with their spectrum land grab

By the sounds of it it has far reaching use case. All the way from the head to the bottom. Bladder or Anal Sphincter control is a big source of disability and will help those folks lead a normal life. Am I right in thinking that those thought processes are being considered ?

@elonmusk · Feb 3, 2020
Intuitively, that should be straightforward to address, but there could be complexities I’m unaware of

True, it has general applications beyond fast, high precision micro-electrode insertion that automatically avoids the vasculature

Neuralink's insertion method is already PHENOMENALLY better.
Neuralink - precision surgery that minimizes scar tissue by avoiding veins
Utah Array - a freakin AIR GUN 😳😰 (who the hell thought that up?!)
I'm wicked excited to see the other advances you've been working on!

Wait until you see the next version vs what was presented last year. It’s *awesome*.

Curious on thread resolution improvements.

Yikes! Utah Array looks like a Jaccard meat tenderizer.
Much better to precisely implant individual ultra-thin wires
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Feb 3, 2020
Yeah, it looks like a medieval torture device, but is nonetheless currently used in many human studies! Not hard to be way better.

Pytorch for building NN?

PyTorch is the most frequently used external tool set/library

Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Feb 3, 2020
Our NN is initially in Python for rapid iteration, then converted to C++/C/raw metal driver code for speed (important!). Also, tons of C++/C engineers needed for vehicle control & entire rest of car. Educational background is irrelevant, but all must pass hardcore coding test.

Many teams at @ARKInvest played a role in bringing ARK’s Big Ideas 2020 to life: research, marketing, compliance, and distribution. With thanks to them all, I hope that you enjoy our Big Ideas!
James Wang@draecomino· Jan 16, 2020ARK's Big Ideas 2020 deck is here—a year of research packed into 80 slides covering AI, robotics, autonomous, genomics, bitcoin, and more.

Here are 5 slides that really hit it home. Thread:

The profound impact of high bandwidth, high precision neural interfaces is underappreciated. Neuralink may have this in a human as soon as this year. Just needs to be unequivocally better than Utah Array, which is already in some humans & has severe drawbacks.

A PhD is definitely not required. All that matters is a deep understanding of AI & ability to implement NNs in a way that is actually useful (latter point is what’s truly hard). Don’t care if you even graduated high school.

Any chance that #Tesla AI tech (hardware and/or software) will make it to #SpaceX flight computers?
Do you use the same flight computer in Falcon stages AND Dragon?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Feb 2, 2020
Not needed, but will be very useful on Mars due to light speed latency
