Elon Musk about to reveal huge news on AI brain chips that makes you a GENIUS – and let you mind control gadgets

ELON Musk has announced he'll be making a statement about his human brain implants next month.
The billionaire has previously said his Neuralink firm will have a device ready "in less than a year".
Musk recently tweeted: "If you can’t beat em, join em Neuralink mission statement.
"Progress update August 28."
He added: "AI symbiosis while u wait."
Speaking on Joe Rogan's podcast back in May, the billionaire said the device could one day fix "anything that is wrong with the brain".
The aim is to create a full brain interface within 25 years.
This would mean that humans could connect to devices with just their minds.
Musk wants his brain implants to stop humans being outpaced by artificial intelligence.
Neuralink was founded in 2016 and is working on tiny 'threads' that could be inserted into the human brain and help treat injuries and trauma.
The insertion process is said to require removing part of the skull.
Then the Neuralink device and electrode threads will be inserted into the brain.
The patient would then be stitched up and Musk says you wouldn't even be able to tell that they had the device inserted.
Musk told previously told Rogan's podcast listeners: "We're not testing people yet, but I think it won't be too long.
"We may be able to implant a neural link in less than a year in a person I think."
Back in February, Musk announced a new and improved version of the implant.
On its website, the company boasts that it's developing "ultra high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces to connect humans and computers".
The technology isn't just intended for creating a super human cyborg race though.
Musk has said Neuralink will first focus on medical applications, such as tackling the effects of brain diseases like epilepsy.
After this, the brain chips will be updated to develop a "symbiotic relationship" between AI and humanity.
Ultimately, Musk thinks that implanted chips are what will protect humans from becoming an endangered species.
Musk told Rogan that the implant is around an inch in diameter, similar to the face of a smartwatch.
He said a robot would be used to insert the implant and connect thread-like electrodes to the brain.
Musk explained: "If you got an interface into the motor cortex, and then an implant that's like a microcontroller near muscle groups you can then create a sort of a neural shunt that restores somebody who quadriplegic to full functionality, like they can walk around, be normal – maybe slightly better overtime."
The billionaire suggested the implanted device is no more dangerous than getting a heart monitor or an artificial hip.
He even suggested that it could speed up the way we communicate and we may not even need to talk.
A brain interface could even mean that people become more machine that human.

What is Neuralink?
Here's everything you need to know...
Neuralink is a project that aims to embed computer chips in people's brains
The idea is to give humans hyper-intelligence by merging them with artificial intelligence
Tiny threads thinner than a human hair would pump information into your noggin
It would work a bit like an internet cable, transmitting data in and out at high speeds
As well as making us smarter, the project promises to merge us with computers and phones
That means you could control your gizmos with your brain
Neuralink is bankrolled by billionaire entrepeneur Elon Musk
He's previously said the tech could save us from a machine uprising in future
In other news, Facebook's Reality Labs and its Oculus virtual reality brand have been working on the thinnest VR headset to date.
A bizarre new virtual reality strip club has been advertising lap dances from aliens, robots and ‘humanoid hybrids’.
And, Facebook recently teased what the future of working from home could look like if we use virtual and augmented reality to be in the office.

Report: World’s 1st remote brain surgery via 5G network performed in China

World’s 1st remote brain surgery via 5G network performed in China Published time: 17 Mar, 2019 13:12 ·           A Chinese surgeon has performed the world’s first remote brain surgery using 5G technology, with the patient 3,000km away from the operating doctor. Dr. Ling Zhipei remotely implanted a neurostimulator into his patient’s brain on Saturday, Chinese state-run media  reports . The surgeon manipulated the instruments in the Beijing-based PLAGH hospital from a clinic subsidiary on the southern Hainan island, located 3,000km away. The surgery is said to have lasted three hours and ended successfully. The patient, suffering from Parkinson’s disease, is said to be feeling well after the pioneering operation. The doctor used a computer connected to the next-generation 5G network developed by Chinese tech giant Huawei. The new device enabled a near real-time connection, according to Dr. Ling.  “You barely feel that the patient is 3,000 kilometers away,”  he said.

Visualizing The Power Of The World's Supercomputers

Visualizing The Power Of The World's Supercomputers   BY TYLER DURDEN FRIDAY, JAN 21, 2022 - 04:15 AM   A supercomputer is a machine that is built to handle billions, if not trillions of calculations at once. Each supercomputer is actually made up of many individual computers (known as nodes) that work together in parallel. A common metric for measuring the performance of these machines is  flops , or  floating point operations per second . In this visualization,  Visual Capitalist's Marcus Lu uses  November 2021 data from  TOP500  to visualize the computing power of the world’s top five supercomputers. For added context, a number of modern consumer devices were included in the comparison. Ranking by Teraflops Because supercomputers can achieve over one quadrillion flops, and consumer devices are much less powerful, we’ve used  teraflops  as our comparison metric. 1 teraflop = 1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion) flops. Supercomputer Fugaku  was completed in March 202

BMW traps alleged thief by remotely locking him in car

BMW traps alleged thief by remotely locking him in car Stealer's Wheel? Seattle police department quotes "Watchmen" movie in a recap of the recent arrest. Tech Culture by Gael Fashingbauer Cooper December 4, 2016 5:00 PM PST It's maybe the most satisfying arrest we can imagine. Seattle police caught an alleged car thief by enlisting the help of car maker BMW to both track and then remotely lock the luckless criminal in the very car he was trying to steal. Jonah Spangenthal-Lee, deputy director of communications for the Seattle Police Department, posted a witty summary of the event on the SPD's blog on Wednesday. Turns out if you're inside a stolen car, it's perhaps not the best time to take a nap. "A car thief awoke from a sound slumber Sunday morning (Nov. 27) to find he had been remotely locked inside a stolen BMW, just as Seattle police officers were bearing down on him," Spangenthal-Lee wrote. The suspect found a ke
