DARPA leads the way
Nothing spoopy about Elon
Neuralink–4000 5G satellites–underground tunnels–
Musk hasn’t spoken much about Neuralink in the past. But he has said that before the company would seek to deploy its technology for a wider population – which could be seven to nine years away – Neuralink would first try to help people with certain kinds of disabilities.
get hired, anons
or crack the data
to me the tell is "no neuroscience experience required"
A perfect fit for Q sleuths…
Neuralink is seeking an experienced security software engineer. You are passionate about building security into large-scale, mission-critical software and hardware, in a fast-paced environment. You will demonstrate a strong sense of urgency ensuring the code, systems, communications protocols, and databases we develop are secure and that the rest of the development teams have the knowledge and tools required to keep them so.
We are big believers that security needs to originate with a deep security culture across the entire engineering organization. This position is an Engineering, not an IT Role. You will be a vital member of the company’s engineering team, where you will not only be implementing security yourself but also driving that strong security culture across all parts of the development team.
About You:
You find large challenges exciting and enjoy discovering and defining problems as much as solving them.
You deliver. You may enjoy thoughtful conversations about problems and perfecting designs, but in the end, you know that what matters is delivering a manufacturable solution that works every time.
You are a cross-disciplinary team member. You are excited to work with and learn from software, mechanical, electrical, materials, biological engineers, and neuroscientists. You are comfortable communicating across teams.
Resourceful, flexible and adaptable; no task is too big or too small.
Neuralink is developing ultra-high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces to connect humans and computers. We are building a team of multidisciplinary experts passionate about making a world-changing impact.
Our robotics integrate actuated devices with microelectromechanical systems as well as novel surgical procedures. These applications place strong emphasis on high-precision, high-repeatability mechanical motion, as well as high reliability and fail-safe design. You will be responsible for writing software and making sure your code works on an actual robot and not just simulation.
Sounds like they're building 5G controllable cyborgs to this dumb anon. Who controls?
Control from space?
(Starting to sound like plot of 'Kingsmen')
However, if SpaceX succeeds in turning StarLink into reality, the company will be putting over 4,000 satellites in orbit around Earth in the next five years. A far cry from Iridium’s 75 satellites.
The stakes are high as Musk and his space agency are on a direct collision course with some of the world’s biggest telecom and satellite manufacturing companies.
According to the FCC, around 14 million Americans residing in rural regions of the country, together with approximately 1.2 million Americans on tribal lands, currently do not have access to any broadband services.
Nothing to be concerned about here, anons. Faster streaming…what's not to like?
“I have asked my colleagues to join me in supporting this application and moving to unleash the power of satellite constellations to provide high-speed internet to rural Americans,” said Pai. the current chairman of the FCC.
(Remember when Elon Musk was giving those dire warnings about threat of AI?)
Neuralink aims to make devices that intially would treat serious brain disease and brain damage that was caused by a stroke in the short-term. In the long-term, the company's goal is to develop the technology for human enhacement. Part of Elon Musk's inpiration for the creation of Neuralink is a science-fiction concept called Neural Lace that is part of the fictional universe in Scottish author Iain M. Banks' series of novels The Culture.
Iain M. Banks' The Culture: Our future?
The Culture is a futuristic interstellar utopian, post-scarcity space society of humanoids, aliens, and very advanced artificial intelligence living in socialist habitats spread across the Milky Way galaxy.
Neural Lace: Connecting human brain to machine
Neural Lace is a brain-computer interface technology that could allow human brains to compete with Artificial Intelligence (AI). Currently, Elon Musk is funding research toward the development of Neural Lace technology, this is the emerging technology that could link human brains with computers without the need of a physical connection.
This would be possible by implanting tiny electrodes into the brain. The result would be the enhancement of memory and cognitive powers by effectively merging humans and Artificial Intelligence.
According to Elon Musk, brain-to-machine (B2M) interfaces are an important part of humanity’s future. It is well known that Elon Musk and others are concerned about the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the world and the future of humanity as we know it. By finding a way to increase humans' intelligence to equal that of the Artificial Intelligence programs of the future, or superintelligences.
n brief, Neural Lace is an ultra-thin mesh that is implanted in the skull and forms a body of electrodes which are able to monitor a human brain function.
According to Elon Musk, without the creation of the Neural Lace technology, humans will be unable to keep pace with the rapid advances in Artificial Intelligence. He says that there is a good chance that humans may become the intellectual equivalent of the house cat.

As an immediate application, Neural Lace could potentially help patients suffering from brain injuries and certain illnesses. However, the utimate goal and mission of Neuralink are to successfully merge the human brain with machine, fusing human intelligence with Artificial Intelligence. As a result, this is expected to bring humanity up to a higher level of cognitive reasoning.
