We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
We think too much, we feel too little.
More than machinery, we need humanity.
We know the air is unfit to breathe, and our food is unfit to eat, as if that's the way it's supposed to be.
We know things are bad, worse than bad.
They're crazy.
to say, I'm a human being.
God damn it!
My life has value!
You have meddled with the primal forces of nature!
Don't give yourselves to brutes.
Men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think, or what to feel, who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fire.
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men!
Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts.
You're beautiful.
I love you.
Yes!
You're beautiful.
Thank you.
Haha.
Showtime!
It's time to buckle up for making sense of the madness.
And who loves you and who do you love?
Hey, everybody, Jason Burmese here.
And today we're going to get further into this presentation last week from Neuralink.
There's going to be just a slight overlap of the introduction of the co-founder of the company.
We're going to focus on the people that have been chipped by Neuralink.
Publicly, they are showing you seven people.
I would assume that that is correct.
I don't know that any of this is being done in secret.
I think the secret stuff, if you will, has already been done.
And if there's anything in conjunction with Neuralink at this point, it would be highly compartmentalized.
Now, before we get into that, I wanted to take a little trip down memory lane because, as I like to do here, I don't just say things.
Okay.
When I speculate, I let you know.
When I'm explaining what I think that this is about, I let you know.
But when we get to raw data, okay, raw data, forensic evidence, I show it to you.
It's very simple.
So in the first part, Elon Musk was discussing a type of brain chip and the program they have that is going to allow people to see again or for the first time.
And during that presentation, he also talked about other types of primitive brain chips.
Now, I had to jump in and say, you know what?
In my film, Invisible Empire, A New World Order Defined, I have a story, and that film was put out in 2010, where they were already in trials a decade and a half ago with a type of brain-computer interface, a chip, if you will, that allowed people to primitively see.
Okay, and we're going to actually show you that article because what I did is I brought my little movie up.
I went to that section, saw the name of the article, and lo and behold, the thing is still on live.
It's online.
It's still not even, it's not like archive.org.
I'm very actually happy because a lot of the articles from that time period, 2000 to 2010, are offline completely.
And you are lucky to have some kind of an archive.org copy of it.
But we got the whole thing.
So we're going to read some of that.
We're going to show it to you.
And in the picture, it actually shows you the type of quote-unquote chip they're using.
And I'm going to make commentary on that as well because when you see how big it is to the size of a penny, right?
And right now with Neuralink, you're talking about something about the size of a nickel, a little bit smaller.
The charger on top is about that.
That's about a quarter size drill, robotic drill is going to go through your head and saw if you're nogging.
Don't worry.
It's a robot.
It's going to do everything awesome.
Automation is great.
Not even a human hand.
So we're going to start there.
But before we do, I want to thank all the new people that are coming in.
You know, I take as many opportunities now as I can to get out there to try to bring in new audiences.
And we've had a real problem on mainstream platforms.
Right now, we're having a real problem on X, even, you know, toe in the line and wading in the water, to be honest, treading water over there.
We're actually growing for the first time on YouTube in five years.
Now, we're not monetized.
We're still heavily shadow banned, but I do want to thank those that are coming over.
So thumbs it up, subscribe, share.
Also, check out the alternative platforms, Rumble, Rockfin.
We are streaming on X, and please give me a follow there too, because there's a lot of stuff that I put out that we don't necessarily cover.
If you want to support the broadcast, you like what I do, I need your support.
No paid gigs right now.
$5, $10, $15, big donors.
You mean the world to me.
I literally cannot do it without you.
Pam, Gonzalez, thank you.
Jama, thank you, thank you.
And of course, Cheryl with that big donation, thank you so much.
All is loved.
All is appreciated.
So let's start here.
This is the 2009 article.
Brain chip may help the blind see.
So I'm sure a lot of people doubted me, you know, when I said that this was, you know, something that had been around for 15 years.
Now, look at the size of that chip.
And you can actually see it on the brain.
Okay, let's scroll it right up here.
It's pretty small.
I'd say, you know, it's probably about the size of Lincoln's face, maybe not even his head.
And here you see being placed.
And not only that, I want to read a little bit of this because it also gives you insight not only into the technology, but what people were concerned about even then.
Oh, how we forget over the years how heavy, and I mean heavy that terrorism narrative continued for a decade plus before it was sort of revamped and kind of just hanging around.
Okay, so this actually starts off with the line: they can't extract secret terrorist plots yet.
But Utah bioengineers have implanted a brain chip in human test subjects that enables research to download brain data into hard drives.
The team working with the chip is hoping to make immediate improvements in the lives of people with epilepsy, paralysis, or blindness.
But say the chips may one day enable brain-native internet browsing or most any other function currently possible with a computer.
You know, it sounds a lot like what we're going to watch right here, right?
Coming into fruition.
And, you know, as I stated before, you know, it wasn't like they were seeing in this manner.
And even they tell you that.
So 15 plus years ago, they were running these hard trials.
The Utah Electrode Array's purpose is analogs to a modem.
It relays data from the brain to a computer and vice versa.
It may soon enable thought control of bionic limbs like Luke Skywalker in Star Wars.
Now, that's another thing that's been around for a long time.
The Luke arm.
And it looks a lot like that hand that they started the program with.
In fact, let's just do it.
DARPA's Luke Arm.
We do it live.
There it is.
The Luke arm known as the DECA arm.
Let's go look at some images of the Luke arm.
And there's also videos.
There's a pretty good shot of it right there.
Okay.
Take a look.
Let's see what it attaches to.
Making the Luke Bionic Arm.
All right.
So again, and when's this from?
This got to be, yeah, this is 11 years ago.
11 years.
This is old tech.
This is old tech.
And, you know, the cell always, and we're about to get into this watch along again.
You're going to see these people is that is poised to help people with disabilities, but they give themselves away, right?
Read terrorist plot thoughts.
You know, in that RAND Corporation document on human brain interfaces, they talk about non-invasive technologies.
Okay, in other words, you don't have to have the surgery where they do that kind of mind-reading and even control.
They talk about soldiers on the field that may be hesitant, which is a real thing, to shoot at other people, making sure they were shoot.
They talk about soldiers that may become defectors or spies or have terroristic thoughts.
I mean, this is reality.
Sounds like science fiction.
Read their own documents.
Read their own documents.
Listen to their own words.
And that is what we are about to do.
So without further ado, let's get right back into it.
You're going to see a multitude of people that look, if I was in their situation, right?
You don't have many other options.
And I've said it before.
Technology, I mean, I've said it before thousands of times.
Technology is that double-edged sword.
If I thought this technology was going to be used to empower humanity, I'd be all about it.
Look at what they've done with the technology so far on a mass scale is largely been used to enslave humanity, which, by the way, historically is the norm.
I mean, the history of the human species is full, full of individuals fighting to enslave each other.
Just a reality.
So we need to be very aware of that.
So let's look at the tech right now.
Let's see where it's at on a commercial level.
And again, let's look at this as the Trojan horse to get it into a commercial arena where, as they've discussed before and continue to discuss, you begin to bring in the transhuman agenda, superhumans at an ultra bandwidth.
Hey, everyone.
My name is DJ.
I'm my co-founder and president of Neuralink.
And as Elon mentioned, well, actually, we're standing in the middle of our robot space.
We have a stage setup, but this is actually where some of the next generation most advanced surgical robots are being built.
So welcome to our space.
It's important to highlight that this technology is not being built in the dark.
This is not a secret lab where we're not sharing any of the progress.
In fact, we're actually sharing the progress very openly, and as well as also telling you exactly what we're going to be doing.
And we're hoping to progress on that as diligently and as safely and as carefully as possible.
So, to start off, two years ago when we did our previous fundraising round, we outlined this path and timeline to First Human.
And we currently have a clinical trials in the U.S. for a product that we call telepathy, which allows users to control phone or computer purely with their thoughts.
And you're going to see how we do this and what the impact that this has had.
And not only have we launched this clinical trial, but as of today, we have not just one, but seven participants.
And we have an approval.
I mean, just think about how excited these people are on the inside.
And I would like you to amplify that to the magnitude of tens of thousands at first, hundreds of thousands, and then millions of people that adopt this technology, not because, again, they have some kind of disability, but because it's the new iPhone type device.
And we also have an approval to launch the trial in Canada, UK, and the UAE.
As I've discussed for a long time, it's global, baby.
So, I guess before we dive into what this technology is and what we built, but I wanted to quickly share a video with you guys of when our first five participants met each other for the first time.
So, here you go.
All right.
We have everyone together.
What's up, guys?
Thanks, everybody, for joining.
Definitely want to introduce all of you.
Yeah, I'm Nolan, aka P1.
My name's Alex.
I am the second participant in the Neuralink study.
I am Brad Smith, the ALS Cycle P3.
Nolan's Journey Begins00:04:24
My name is Mike G4 and ALS LAG Products.
Yeah, I'm RJ.
I'm P5.
And I just, I guess I'm kind of the newest one of the team here.
So, yeah, appreciate it, Nolan.
Trailblazer.
You know, somebody's got to get first, man.
That was you.
Appreciate that.
What's been your favorite thing you've been able to do with the Neuralink so far?
I've just had a good time being able to use it as I travel, flying and drawing a little mustache on a cat.
Had a lot of fun doing that.
I mean, I've just had a good time playing around with it.
Oh, you know what?
I do know what my favorite BCI feature is.
Probably not a feature, but I just, I love WebGrid more than I love anything in my life, probably.
I think I could play that game non-stop forever.
Has to be Fusion 360, being able to design parts, design the hat logo with the BCI.
And let me just stop it right there.
This is where the human in me is very, very sympathetic and empathetic to these people.
Can you imagine being in a situation not only where you can't move, but it's also difficult to communicate, but then almost impossible to communicate the ideas in your head other than verbally.
For me, that would be completely crippling.
You know, I actually enjoy doing my own thumbnails.
When I was a young man, I thought that, you know, I was going to be a comic book illustrator.
Every once in a while, I like to get in there and doodle.
On top of that, I mean, if you look at from what I did with a pen and paper to what I've done now since the late 90s with a computer, almost 30 years, almost 30 years.
Even though the bastards at Adobe just up the price again, you know, $59.99 a month to basically use their suite, which includes Photoshop and Premiere Pro, which, you know, I've been using for decades and need to.
Not $60 a month anymore, $70 a month.
Thank you so much, Adobe.
I just love the up on that.
But again, I'm going to pay it.
Not only because it's part of my job, because to me, it's an extension of the expression of my mind.
And I am totally sympathetic with these individuals where, again, it's allowed that guy to design his hat as a guy that takes pleasure in designing things.
From a guy that had his first desk job as a graphic designer back in the day when, you know, not the entire Adobe suite had the market.
I was using a thing called Quark for those dorks out there that are Gen Xers, you might know what it is, doing layouts.
Man, I can totally understand why that's his favorite feature.
Let's continue.
What's up?
Pretty sweet.
That's sweet.
Yeah.
Yep.
I have a little Arduino that takes input from my quad stick, converts it into a PPM signal to go to an RC truck.
Cool.
Little rock crawler.
Well, with the BCI, I wrote code to drive the plane with the quad stick.
That's awesome.
The best thing I like about Narling is being able to continue to provide for my family and continue working.
I think my favorite thing is probably being able to turn on my TV.
Yeah, like the first time in two and a half years, I was able to do that.
So it's pretty sweet, booth.
I like shooting lobbies.
That's kind of nice.
Excited to see what BCI's got going on.
What's your shirt say?
He said, I do a thing called whatever I want.
You know, and there's little muskernuts in the back.
Yes, yes, yes.
And again, the technology in that sense is pretty amazing.
Whole Brain Interface Goals00:15:07
But we've already had levels of this technology within our military industrial complex.
And once again, they've been very outward, that they intend to go well beyond this.
Okay, well beyond just helping those with ALS.
Because if that was the direction, then, you know, why wouldn't I be behind it?
And again, that's why I have to point out the positives of it because I already know what the arguments are and have been.
You know, when you talk about a chip that's not a BCI, they often talk about security and convenience, et cetera.
Well, the same thing is true with these devices that they're trying to put out there.
But they're minimalizing, marginalizing, or totally ignoring the risks and just negative aspects altogether of the technology.
Now, one of the major figure of merits that we have is to keep track of monthly hours of independent BCI use.
Effectively, are they using the BCI?
And not at the clinic, but at their home.
And what we have noticed, and this is a plot of all of the different participants, first five participants, and their usage per month over the course of the last year and a half.
And we're averaging around 50 hours a week of usage, and in some cases, peak usage of more than 100 hours a week, which is pretty much every waking moment.
Pretty much every waking moment.
Just think about the track trace database aspect of these BCIs.
I mean, you think the GPS in the little magic box is a big deal.
Another level.
So I think it's been incredible to see all of our participants demonstrating greater independence through their use of BCI.
Not only that, we've also accelerated our implantation cadence as we've amassed evidence of both clinical safety as well as value to our participants.
So to date, we have four spinal cord injury participants as well as three ALS participants, with the last two surgeries happening within one week of each other.
And we're just beginning.
This is just.
And by the way, when they say this is the tip of the iceberg, I often wonder, I would imagine right now the robot kiosk thing, they're not utilizing that for the surgery.
I'm not saying that they're not utilizing robotics.
They may be.
But whether or not they're using the actual devices they're showing you yet, I'm not sure.
If people have information on that, let me know down below.
And by the way, don't just comment in the live stream.
Please comment down below and let me know what you think of the technology.
That's the tip of the iceberg.
Our end goal is to really build a whole brain interface.
And what do we mean by whole brain interface?
We mean being able to listen to neurons everywhere, be able to write information to neurons anywhere, be able to have that fast data wireless transfer to enable that high-bandwidth connection from our biological brain to the external machines, and be able to do all of this with fully automated surgery as well as enable 24 hours of usage.
So again, full day of usage.
So they gotcha.
Oh, nah.
Okay.
Anywhere and everywhere, 24-7 with transfer rates that are so quick people can't imagine them.
And then they're talking to the very bottom again of fully automated surgery to do so.
Remember, the big sale is what?
It's going to be like going to get your ear pierced at the mall.
And towards that goal, we're really working on three major product types.
Elon mentioned earlier that our goal is to build a generalized input-output platform and technology to the brain.
So for the output portion of it, which is extremely slow through our meat sticks, as Elon calls them.
Oh, we're so slow.
We're meat sticks.
Oh, hilarious.
It's the meat.
We're meat sticks.
Meat hands that are holding the mics.
We're starting out with helping people with movement disorders, either through where they lost the mind-body connection, either through a spinal cord injury, ALS, or stroke, be able to regain some of that digital as well as physical independence through a product that we're building called telepathy.
And this is our opportunities to build a high-channel read and output device.
On the input side of things, there's opportunities for us to help people that have lost the ability to see be able to regain that sight again through a product that we're calling blind sight.
And this is our opportunity to build high-channel right capabilities.
And last but not least, be able to also help people that are suffering from neurological debilitating dysregulation or psychiatric conditions or psychiatric conditions.
Here's where that slippery slope, especially when you're talking about helping people and not just commercializing it, like making us, you know, the next wave of the new mutants into X-Men.
All right.
PTSD has been discussed.
Now, I would just say to people, take a look around of what they've already done with treating quote-unquote mental illness prior to the brain chips.
You like the SSRIs?
You like the results that we have in this country?
You like the fact that we've had an outward explosion of overt mental illness, sometimes that's extremely celebrated.
You like that?
You think it's going to get any better with a brain chip?
You talk about the ultimate, the ultimate in one-on-one social and physical engineering and manipulation.
It's right there.
It's right there.
Neuropathic pain by inserting our electros in reaching any brain regions to be able to insert them, not just on the cortical layer, but into the sulce as well as deeper parts of the brain, the so-called limbic system, to really enable better opportunities to just regain some of that independence.
Our North Star metrics is one, increasing the number of neurons that we can interface with.
And second, to expand to many diverse areas, any parts of the brain.
So, you know, again, when you look at that as well, they're talking about total control and command of the brain, which, you know, throughout our lifetimes, depending on whatever academic source you talk about, we only supposedly use a small percentage of our brain.
Only a small percentage.
Now, whether that's true or not, I don't really know.
You know, I don't really know.
But these people are trying to tell you they want access to everything.
With microfabrication or lithography to change the way in which we can actually increase the number of neurons that we can see from a single channel.
And also doing mixed signal chip design to actually increase the physical channel count to increase more neurons that we can interface to sort of allow more information from the brain to the outside world.
So, just so everybody knows, that little thing that's running at the bottom right corner right there, well, I'm going to interrupt.
That's what they're saying is the functional vision output, okay, with the electrode device, with the type of stimulus, the phosphenes, if you will, and then the actual functional vision in the corner watch.
And then, you know, everything we built from day one of the company has always been read and write capable.
And with telepathy, our first product, the focus has been on the read capabilities or the output.
And we want to hone in on our write capability and also show that through accessing deeper regions within the visual cortex, that we can actually achieve functional vision.
Just wait not that woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Come on, folks, let's get the thumbs up.
Again, if you're not subscribed, please do.
And also ring that bell for notifications.
You know, again, we're growing, but I could use all the support.
And again, once again, can't do it without you.
Please consider.
There's also other links down below to make those donations, small and large.
They help.
Let's get it back to this Neuralink presentation.
So now, just to step you through what the product evolution is going to look like in the next three years, today what we have is 1,000 electrodes in the motor cortex, the small part of the brain that you see in this animation called the hand knob area.
that allows participants to control computer cursors as well as gaming consoles.
Next quarter, we're planning to implant in the speech cortex to directly decode attentive words from brain signals to speech.
And in 2026, not only are we going to triple the number of electrodes from 1,000 to 3,000 for more capabilities, we're planning to have our first blindside participant to enable navigation.
And in 2027, we're going to continue increasing channel counts, probably another triple, so 10,000 channels, and also enable, for the first time, multiple implants.
So not just one in mortal cortex, speech cortex, or visual cortex, but all of the above.
And again, something I haven't hit on on this episode, but talked about a lot in the others.
We already have non-invasive devices that can both stimulate and be stimulated by the brain.
Okay?
Brain-computer interfaces that are wearables, that are wearables.
They don't want that technology because you can take it off.
All right.
And now they're telling you, and I would imagine that's because the testing that's been done over the last, you know, several decades and beyond has shown them that in order to really do this, it will take multiple implant plants, at least at this level, when we're talking about electrodes and not just bio-nanotechnology, which they eventually want to get to.
And finally, in 2028, our goal is to get to more than 25,000 channels per implant, have multiple of these, have ability to access any part of the brain for psychiatric conditions, pain, dysregulation, and also start to demonstrate what it would be like to actually integrate with AI.
You see, when they say innovate with AI, that bottom one on the left is augmented vision.
So if you've ever worn one of the VR headsets that now has the multiple cameras on there that you can see through and you can see through very well, you know, the Apple device from about a year ago, that was one of those high-end ones.
That's augmented reality.
You know, Google Glass, what they had that was kind of failed at the time.
And I see more and more like Oakley right now is trying to make it fashionable for these smart glasses with augmented reality.
They want that overlay implanted into your brain.
And they keep talking about deep access for mental illness.
No, no, no, it's deep access for all of us.
And all this is to say that we're really building towards a set of fundamental foundational technology that would allow us to have hundreds of thousands, if not millions of channels with multiple implants for whole brain interfaces that could actually solve not just these debilitating neurological conditions, but...
but be able to go beyond the limits of our biology.
And this vertical integration and the talent and team that we have at Neuralink has been and will continue to be the key recipe for rapid progress that we will be making.
And you know that.
Notice that, you know, it's always in passing, go beyond our biology and rapid progress.
You know, they were just talking about multiple brain chips and augmented reality vision by 2028.
Now, I know that in many of these cases, they over-promise and under-deliver, but in the case of brain-computer interfaces, they may not deliver at the speed they're telling you, but they continue to incrementally make this progress and get people more and more to socially accept it.
Just to recap real quick, Neuralink is implanted with precision surgical robot.
It's physically invisible.
And one week later, users are able to see their thoughts transform into actions.
And to share more about what that experience is like, I'd like to welcome Sahesh to the stage.
Mind-Controlled Gaming Innovations00:15:41
So, you know, this is one of the other individuals.
There's another individual after that.
Again, you know, I know that they're saying they want full automation, but you notice that what they were just kind of showing you there, and that's why, you know, I was asking people if they knew exactly.
They just kind of show you, yeah, there's robots, but there's a full team in there as well.
So it's not just an autonomous process.
But let's continue on with this presentation.
Actually, I believe in this chunk, you know, they talked about already the ability of some of these people to be able to use a device like this, a video game controller, with their mind, which is much more complex than you think.
I mean, with all these buttons, I mean, you're talking about four buttons here, four buttons here, another three right here, the D-pad all the way around, and then two motion controls.
But at one point, I'm not sure if we're going to get to it today.
I think we might.
It shows you that that's not out of the box, that it has to be trained.
Your brain trains the device through these processes in order to do that.
And that's similar, almost the same thing, to these non-invasive brain-computer interfaces that I've seen over the years.
And covered.
What's up, guys?
My name is Sahej.
I'm from the brain computer interface team here at Neuralink.
And I'm going to be talking about two things today.
The first thing is, what exactly is a Neuralink device capable of doing right now?
And the second one is, how does that actually impact the day-to-day lives of our users?
Very simply put, what the Neuralink device does right now is it allows you to control devices simply just by thinking.
Now, to put that a bit more concretely, I'm about to play a video of our first user.
His name is Noland, if you remember from DJ Section.
And what Noland is doing is he's looking at a normal off-the-shelf MacBook Pro.
And with his Neuralink device, as you're going to see, he's going to be able to control the cursor simply with his mind, no eye tracking, no other sensors.
And what's special about this particular moment is this is the first time someone is using a Neuralink device to fully control their cursor.
This is not your ordinary brain-controlled cursor.
This is actually a record-breaking control, literally on day one, beating decades of brain computer research.
And I'm about to show you the clip.
I would say this, maybe in public, maybe in public.
But these type of devices, again, honestly, these devices have already been utilized in public.
You know, BlackRock Neurotech was showing some of this technology.
As far as the vast amount of control in the public arena, I would agree that a lot of this stuff has not been seen before behind closed doors.
You can only imagine.
On day one, Nolan breaking the BCI world record.
Whoa!
He just beat the world record.
Yeah, what was this?
Oh, shit.
Yeah!
Congrats!
Oh, well done, man.
Wait, what did I mean?
He's a new world record holder.
Oh no way!
On the first day!
This was all the confetti!
Yes, this was a surprise!
And look, look, man, I see the emotions.
I feel the emotions.
That's what this is.
This is a tug on your heartstrings.
All right.
And it is incredible.
But boy, oh boy, you've got to get past your feelings sometimes.
Because those feelings, they will manipulate the hell out of you.
And you got to get to the common sense.
And you got to get to the factual information of how technologies such as this have been utilized in the past.
I thought it was higher.
I thought I would have to get to five or something.
Oh, my gosh, that's crazy.
It's pretty cool.
Yeah, another really fun thing you could do with the Neuralink device outside of controlling a computer cursor is you could actually plug it in through USB through a lot of different devices.
And here we actually have Nolan playing Mario Kart.
Now, what's special about this particular clip is Nolan is not the only cyborg playing Mario Kart in this clip.
We actually have a whole community of users, as mentioned earlier.
And this is literally five of our first users of Neuralink playing Mario Kart together over call.
And look, I love me some Mario Kart.
Look at the smile on the individual with ALS that has some speech.
And then you have the other individual that is completely and totally nonverbal and his face is almost emotionless playing this thing.
Again, you know, I get it.
And it's not just this.
They're going to show you shooters and, you know, Call of Duty, which is a little bit more, I would say, complex.
Although, Mario Kart, when you get into it, it's simple but complex.
And one of the greatest game series of all time.
Love me some Mario Kart.
Now, yeah.
Mario Kart is, it's cool.
You know, you're using one joystick and then you're clicking like a couple of buttons to throw items.
What would be even cooler is what if you could control two joysticks at once simultaneously with your mind.
What I'm about to show you, and I think this is for the first time, someone playing a first-person shooter game with a brain-computer interface.
This is Alex and RJ playing Call of Duty, controlling one joystick to move and then the other joystick to like think point your gun and then shooting people as a button.
Here's Alex shooting another person.
Oh dear God.
I don't know what I do.
I don't want him to freaking shoot you off when I do RJ.
Alex got you.
I know it is shot me in the face.
Now that we have a bit of a sense of what the BCI can do, a very important question to answer is: by the way, you know, they're showing you small clips of all that.
And I wonder, even with the extensive training of the device, how buggy it is.
And I say that especially because guess what?
Video games themselves are buggy.
Okay.
And when you're operating with devices and we're talking about things like bandwidth and information and read, write, you know, they're showing you very, very small clips.
You know, I wonder when, how, and if it goes haywire.
How does this impact the day-to-day lives of the people that use it every day?
So I'm about to show you a clip going back to Nolan for a second where he talks.
We simply just asked him randomly during a day how he enjoys using the VCI a couple months ago.
And this is his candid reaction.
I work basically all day from when I wake up.
I'm trying to wake up at like 6 or 7 a.m.
And I'll do work until session.
I'll do session and then I'll work until you know 11, 12 p.m. or 12 a.m.
Wow.
I'm doing like I'm learning my languages.
I'm learning my math.
I'm like relearning all of my math.
I am writing.
I am doing a class that I signed up for.
And I just, I wanted to point out that like this is not something I would be able to do without the Neuralink.
Next, I want to talk a bit about Brad.
You guys may already know him as the ALS cyborg.
And Brad also has ALS.
And what separates him from our other users is he's actually nonverbal.
So he can't speak.
Why this is pretty relevant is he relies, at least before the Neuralink, on an eye gaze machine to communicate.
And a lot of eye gaze machines you can't use outdoors.
You really need like a dark room.
So what this means is for the last six years since Brad's been diagnosed with ALS, he's really unable to leave his house.
Now, with the Neuralink device, we're going to show you a clip of him with his kids at the park, shot by Ashley Vance and the team.
You guys ready?
I'm so sticking.
I am absolutely doing more with Neuralink than I was doing with eye gaze.
I have been a Batman for a long time, but I go outside now.
Going outside has been a huge blessing for me.
And I can control the computer with telepathy.
Dad's watching.
Look, he's watching on the camera.
Did he lose one of the arms?
The last user I want to talk about is Alex.
Now, before we even get into the last user, you know, people have to realize obviously that's not his voice.
You wonder whether or not they modeled that AI voice after what he used to sound like, as obviously, you know, this guy wasn't, you know, in that state lifelong.
He has a family.
You know, it is one of those things where you got to take a step back and you think, man, this is wild.
But you also got to take a step back and have to second guess everything that that person is saying and doing.
And is that an accurate representation of what they're actually trying to convey or advocate?
Or is that in some way also manipulated?
It's hard to tell.
I don't know if it's even possible to tell.
Alex, you've seen some clips of him earlier.
What's special about Alex to me is he's a fellow left-handed guy who writes in cursive all the time.
And what he mentioned is since a spinal cord injury from like three, four years ago, he's been unable to just like draw or write.
And he always brags about how good his handwriting was.
So we actually got to put it a test.
We gave him a robotic arm.
And I think this is the first time he tried using the robotic arm to write anything.
And this is a Sped-up version of writing at the convoy trial and drawing something.
And again, we kind of mentioned this, you know, the ability to take your mental visualization and then, you know, display it in a manner, you know, without this technology would be virtually impossible.
Now, yeah, controlling a robotic arm is cool, but this one has a clamp.
And what would be cooler is if you could decode the actual fingers, the actual wrist, all the muscles of the hand in real time.
Just in the past couple of weeks, we were able to do that with Alex.
And you're about to see him and his uncle playing a game.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot, tamp.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot, rock, paper, scissors, shoot, tam.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
And again, I mean, I mean, they do a very good job of humanizing all these people.
But you notice he's talking about robotic hands being controlled by something like a BCI.
Once again, I want to let people in on the secret that, you know, the Luke arm has been around for a while and actually can be commanded, but has its bugs for sure.
Not perfect, never was with somebody without a BCI.
Okay?
A wearable.
They talk about the electrodes and the sensors and the bump switches and the pull switches and all this stuff.
Right?
And it's a prosthetic arm.
And you don't need a BCI to control it.
But once again, they're kind of selling you on the idea that the two are completely merged.
Thumb warps?
Um, thank you.
What?
Cool.
Controlling.
Yeah, that's pretty dope.
I don't know.
And controlling a robotic hand on screen is obviously not super helpful for most people.
Fortunately, we have connections with Tesla who have the Optimus hand, and we're actually actively working on giving Alex an Optimus hand so that he could actually control it in his real life.
And here's the actual replay of the end of that video using Alex's neural signals on an Optus hand.
Sean, if you want to play that.
Yeah.
See how funny it is?
They literally have the mind-controlled robot hand giving you an FU.
Kind of goes with the whole cadence of the video, right?
Everybody's kind of hip and cool.
They're not the suits of old, right?
These aren't like old men.
Even the Nvidia guy, when we did that video with the Star Wars clone robot, he's in the leather jacket.
This guy's got ripped jeans on.
Elon's in the black t-shirt like, you know, Tom Cruise and Magnolia, like we talked about.
Everybody's pretty hip and with it.
Maybe I'll consider getting this brain chip.
Actually, let me maybe add a few things to that, which is so as we advance the Neuralink devices, you should be able to actually have full body control and sensors from an Optimus robot.
So you could basically inhabit an Optimus robot.
It's not just the hand, the whole thing.
So you could basically mentally remote into an Optimus robot and be kind of cool.
The future is going to be weird.
And look, I mean, it's literally, he's telling you, you know, forget about this guy being able to inhabit an avatar like Android, right?
And they've made these things human in appearance or humanoid in appearance for a purpose.
And again, that purpose is to normalize these things.
Surrogates and Thumbs Up00:02:20
I forget what the movie was.
Maybe replicants.
But we're going to look it up.
It was Bruce Willis replicant movie.
Let's see.
Surrogates.
Surrogates.
So, you know, if you want to, it wasn't a great movie, 2009.
But surrogates, like everybody would have like a full robotic avatar of themselves that kind of had their likeness, but it was them at their most like youthful and beautiful and, you know, with hair if they didn't have hair, all those type of things.
So you're going to be more human than a human.
Well, controlling these humanoid robots with your brain chip, folks.
I told you this was going to end up being a series.
We're only about a little over halfway through that presentation.
I promise you that we are going to continue with that watch-along because it is indeed very, very important.
They showed you a little bit on the training.
We're going to go over some of the more complex training, especially how they were able to do something like this device.
You know the drill, everybody.
All my documentary films are free, especially if you're new.
If you want to learn about globalism, the quote-unquote new world order, what that really is.
Invisible Empire, a new world order defined, is free in the playlist down below the documentaries, along with Shade the Motion Picture, in which, you know, I warned the world back in 2013 about Bill Gates, about his connections to Monsanto and other bibbity bobbity boo type things.
Then we've got my 9-11 pictures, Fabled Enemies and Loose Change Final Cup.
Please check them out as well.
