The brain is unmatched in compute density - #fact. Also biology packs unrivaled capabilities in a myriad of nano machines. Our platform keeps you safe from explosives, contrabands, and healthy. Our technology was recently spotted in wild. Watch! @Onikuo youtube.com/watch?v=jzPkT6oR…

"Every gram of fentanyl that crosses the border is a failure of detection. Koniku makes failure impossible.” President @realDonaldTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr want this problem solved now! Declare victory on Fentanyl before the midterms. Lets do it! @KristiNoem @Sec_Noem @AGPamBondi

We believe smell is the final frontier of the senses—and we're digitizing it. Our Smell Cyborgs merge living neurons + silicon to sense the world in ways machines never could. Watch our live demo 👇 youtu.be/z8f8Pj5rnw8 #SmellCyborg #DeepTech #SyntheticNeurobiology

Built in the USA. Scaled for industry. Secure by design. This is real synthetic neurobiology—and it’s just the beginning. We're not just making sensors. We're building the foundation of a brain from scratch. #Koniku #Neurotech #MadeInUSA

This is just the beginning. Major announcements coming soon. #smellcyborg #defensetech #syntheticneurobiology #OracleDefenseEcosystem

Our technology is now available on Oracle Cloud — unlocking direct access to U.S. & allied defense programs. Fast-tracked for deployment. Built for real-world missions.

🚨 Koniku is now a founding member of the Oracle Defense Ecosystem 🚨 We build smell cyborgs — processors that give machines the power to smell. Smell is an untapped domain in national security — until now.

Thank you @WCO_OMD and @ReceitaFederal for an excellent #WCOTech2024. My @Accenture and @_koniku teams had a great conference. Pleasure to connect with clients, colleagues, partners, and friends. Until next time…

We were recently in #Doha to share a proper "world premiere" of a quadruped with a "smell processor" or "smell cyborg". I hope you enjoy it. The future is "synthetic bio + silicon = AGI". Its the only viable path #AGI youtube.com/watch?v=jzPkT6oR…

Replying to @Plinz
@Plinz Neurons are *NOT* special. The human brain is *NOT* special. It’s not magic, it’s all there in the cranium, spine & periphery. I argue tirelessly for “compute density”. folks massively underestimate the compute density of the brain. appreciating of the mismatch is key. 1/n
What makes the whole LLM/self-awareness debate so tricky is that neurons are not self-aware either. Instead, our neurons *simulate* a person, which experiences itself as self-aware. Can LLMs simulate a self-aware person too, or are they just simulating the simulation of a person?

its a strange thing with these fights: Apple Vs. #Spotify Apple Vs. #Epicgames and others. Stripped to is basic essence, its a story or conversation about making stuff and money. Morality here is a blackmail nothing more. a 🧵 1/n

i founded @_koniku based on a hypothesis. reality is plagued with high computational complexity. to build AGI we need a substrate or hardware with "high compute density". everyone agrees; "biology has cracked AGI". so, follow biology. youtube.com/watch?v=uuscFq7n… (1/n)

we thought this video was " too out there" at the time. this was back in 2018/2019. how much has changed since - A03. @Onikuo youtube.com/watch?v=6z2mcpQl…

No. Simply put #AGI with is not possible on silicon substrates. Short 🧵 by @Onikuo Right now, we are from an issue of imprecision of language. I realized this when I exposed our eight year old son to #ChatGPT. 1/n
For my neuroscientist friends, can we build an #AGI with computers or do we need a physical neuronal substrate or replica to create a true artificial general intelligence?

the utility i suspect we will derive #LLMs and associated technologies will be significant. But it will not reach #AGI. Because current models live in a #downsampledspace. That is the internet, the real world is HUGE. the degrees of freedom in the real world in mind boggling. 6/n
