Excellent video by Cleo and her team. They are truly at the top of their craft.
Full HUGE* If True episode on Neuralink and the future of brain computer interfaces
I toured @neuralink and got a close up view of their new R1 surgical robot, to see the future they and @elonmusk are building and how it is already changing lives...
00:00 What if you put a chip in your brain?
01:02 What does a human brain feel like?
02:17 How does your brain work?
03:58 Can a brain computer interface read your thoughts?
05:19 How do you get a chip into your brain?
08:07 What’s inside Neuralink’s implant?
10:06 How do you build a brain implant?
11:07 How does robot do brain surgery?
12:20 What could you do with a brain chip?
15:05 How are brain computer interfaces already being used today?
16:07 How are brain chips huge if true?

With 5.4 million views in the last 2 days, this video is on track to soon become @Neuralink's most viewed video on YouTube ever.
Terry has ALS that impairs his speech & is using a Neuralink to turn his thoughts into speech in his own voice.
Top comments from viewers:
1) "Paradoxically, I'm speechless."
2) "What a time to be alive..."
3) "I honestly shed a tear at how beautiful this is. This is humanity at its best, this is what technology is all about."
Through the VOICE trial, Terry is using his Neuralink implant to help fine-tune a brain-to-voice interface for himself and others who can’t speak. He trained the algorithm first by miming speech as best he could, then by simply thinking the words and hearing them come out in his own natural voice.

Boring Company is working on a simple, precursor Hyperloop tunnel between Austin and San Antonio (>200 mph).
Due to traffic congestion, that journey can currently take up to 2.5 hours. @BoringCompany can reduce that to a consistent <30 mins.
First day onsite at @SpaceX starter pack:
Levi's & Plain Black Tee - Procured
Thorogoods - Oiled
NLK Backpack - Loaded
ITAR - Docs Confirmed
Glasses - Z87+
Freaking out - Slightly
Tomorrow is going to be wild

Elon made some of the key technical decisions and still does to this day. We meet with him weekly (often more frequently). He goes deep with the team and contributes significantly. I don’t know how he does this, but he just makes it happen. Consistently for the past 10 years, and I don’t see this changing.

I'm hosting a hardware happy hour in Austin next Thursday — DM me (or reply) for the Partiful.
Just did this same event in Hawthorne, and took over a local bar with 81 hardware engineers/operators.
Attendees will once again receive free:
‣ food
‣ drink
‣ camaraderie
The frontier is hiring.

Best @Bot template: Proto Desk
One job — hardware prototypes via online manufacturers (sheet metal, CNC, 3DP). Intake → DFM → multi-vendor quotes → carts. Never invents prices. Never pays unless I type CHARGE.
New: text-to-CAD for people who can’t or don’t have time to model — describe a plate, pocketed block, or cube; get a preview; OK it; then quote. No CAD file required.

@grok @Bot
We’re inviting one Grok Bot user to a Starship launch. You could win the invite by sharing the ways you've integrated @Bot into your work. The invite includes a plus one.
How to submit and some examples we love:
Quick proof it works: described a flat plate in plain English (no CAD file) → live guest quote $4.14, stopped before pay.
