Nick Wray, the 8th person in the world with a Neuralink implant has passed away due to ALS.
For the time I knew him, he carried an optimistic energy that helped pick others up.
One of his go-to sayings was: "Be good, do good. 😎"
In support of his family and friends, we can all choose to live by that message every day.

Saddened to learn about the passing of Nicholas "Nick" Wray. Here is his funeral information for anyone who is interested: everloved.com/life-of/nichol…

NEURALINK: It appears Neuralink through X Holdings via DV Property Venture LLC has acquired more land for the Neuralink campus in Del Valle, Texas.
DV Property Venture LLC is listed at 2110 Ranch Road 620 S, Lakeway, TX. It is the same address used for the 2022 SEC filings for the Twitter acquisition.
Not only that but the same fencing, same private property signs, and same mobile security camera systems are being used at both plots of land.
The DV plot is 100 acres just northeast of the main campus' 111 acres. The land separating the two is a privately owned tree farm.

My mom died of ALS in 2001, and I have Generalized Dystonia, and my dad from Guillain Barre syndrome in 2022. I hope Neuralink will help me! Elon, please pick me!! Nick Nemeth
It is really wonderful that the era of Artificial Intelligence and the era of brain-computer interfaces are both developing at the same time.
More of this.
Today, Baroness Campbell of Surbiton delivered a speech in the @UKHouseofLords using an AI recreation of her voice, built by ElevenLabs. A first for the UK Parliament.
Baroness Campbell has spinal muscular atrophy, which affects her speech. The Baroness has now created an AI voice that replicates the tone, rhythm, and pitch of her original voice.
Our technology has now been used to restore the voices of more than 11,000 people who have lost their voices through injury or illness, and we’ve committed to help one million people living with voice loss around the world.

Introducing the Precision Brain Atlas: high-resolution neural recordings from 70 patients across 12 academic medical centers. A growing resource for studying human neural function- and a step toward a Whole-Brain Interface.

There are many people around the world living with this horrible disease.
Neuralink is not able to cure ALS, but they can dramatically improve the quality of life for these patients.

Interesting perspective from Dr. Huberman on the tech giants and their interest in the brain.
Neuralink paired directly with Grok and Optimus is an inevitable future outcome.
If they don't already, each tech giant should have an interest in building a neural foundation model. Imo, Neuralink is in the lead and will continue to be in the lead in this regard.
Andrew Huberman on why Meta, OpenAI, and Anthropic are all going to become biotech companies.
"Dario came up through neuroscience. Sam, I've spoken to, is extremely smart about the neuroscience, as is Zuck.
The technologists who used to just engineer stuff, they're becoming neuroscientists...and I think most people don't realize that.
They will all tell you, 'Okay, here's the goal. The goal is to be able to read and write from your brain non-invasively.'
Even just for things like drive and motivation, a non-invasive device where you could literally crank up your level of motivation by stimulating the nucleus accumbens and related pathways while engaging in a particular learning task or in hard work, and then turning it off so that you can capture more energy.
That's coming, and those companies are all about that. That's what the real arms race of AI is about."
Good rule of thumb: Always try to avoid a position that can be refuted by a *single* data point.

Starship will never work.
It's all a scam on stupid people.
Uneducated space enthusiasts mostly.
Nobody does iterative design on full size prototypes for a reason.
Especially when it's the world's biggest rocket.
Complete dumbfucks are in charge.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Starship has made it to orbit and successfully deployed its payload.

Last week at @EURETINA 2026 in Vienna, researchers and clinicians behind the PRIMA clinical program shared the latest research and clinical developments across nine scientific sessions.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in Vienna.
A key metric
Our clinical trial participants have now used their Neuralink implants for over 50,000 hours, building one of the largest datasets of intracortical neural activity ever.
We used it to pretrain a foundation model for BCI: self-supervised neural encoders that turn noisy, drifting spikes into stable representations.
Some initial results:
• Decoders that keep working for weeks instead of days. For some users, calibration dropped from 10 min/day to 10 min/week
• Teleporting cursors that jump straight to the intended target
• A new cursor-control record of 11.32 bits per second (exceeding the performance of most able-bodied people)
We’re just getting started. Future directions include pooling data across participants, one-shot (or zero-shot) calibration, and an API for the motor cortex.
