Musk's "Brain Plan" , very very crazy.
His sentence "Already did it" on the Internet confirmed that the brain has been uploaded to the cloud . At the same time, it also hit brain-computer interface on the hot search.
Bat, friend, don't simply take this as a lively look at it.
Because behind this, Musk does have a crazy "brain plan".
is related to robot , Mars , and even immortal .
So what is Musk's plan?
The brain is used to the robot to achieve immortality
Upload the brain to the cloud, and Musk took his first step in immortality plan .
. Regarding this larger blueprint for the immortality plan, Musk has long disclosed:
is not interested in studying the immortality of the body, because humans will "suffocate" society if they survive for too long.
A better way to achieve immortality is to "download" or "storage" personality consciousness on Tesla humanoid robots, so that another kind of "immortality" can be achieved.
seems to be too science fiction, such as "The Matrix", but if it is Musk, such crazy ideas are not inconsistent.
After all, Musk's character is that all promises will be realized, although the implementation methods are often "late, but it is here".
, and Musk revealed that the time choice of the brain has uploaded to the cloud is also quite subtle.
Because as the Tesla humanoid robot that carries human consciousness in Musk's imagination, it is really coming. The latest news about
is that Musk confirmed in an interview with Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait that the Tesla humanoid robot prototype will appear on on on September 30 this year, Tesla AI Day.
From the announcement of the development of humanoid robots on Tesla's AI Day last year to the confirmation of the launch of prototypes on AI Day this year, Musk's speed of fulfilling his promises is rarely so fast.
In addition, Musk also expressed his hope to send humanoid robots to Mars to work instead of humans.
In this way, combined with Musk's layout and statements, including SpaceX, autonomous driving, brain-computer interface, etc., Academician Ma's blueprint for immortality also includes Mars immigration plan :
uses brain-computer interface technology to connect human consciousness to the robot, and then send the robot to Mars through SpaceX's recyclable rocket.
Since the Mars environment is harsh and not suitable for human survival, the cost of transformation is too high, this method is undoubtedly the most operable. After all, compared to humans, robots are more adaptable on Mars.
As for the body, just sleep. Just wait until the moment before the body dies, just upload your consciousness to the robot.
In this way, the wish of immortality is realized and the goal of immigrating to Mars is also achieved.
abacus is good, but everything is unexpected - Musk's company in charge of brain-computer interfaces was exposed to the embarrassing situation of the core business being progressed slowly and the founding team fell apart.
The fragmented Neuralink
"Brain Plan" is crazy, but Musk's Neuralink is a bit bad at the moment.
In 2016, a total of 8 people co-founded Neuralink, including Musk.
But to this day, the 6-bit co-founders have all successively left .
The co-founder who was recently revealed to have resigned is called Paul Merolla (Paul Merolla) . His strengths are the core key of brain computers - brain-like chips.
As for the reason for the resignation, Merola himself has not disclosed it yet, and Neuralink has not made any statement on this matter.
, while Melora's LinkedIn homepage shows that his work experience in Neuralink was in June this year, which is consistent with the resignation time of people revealed by insiders.
As for the subsequent destination and job positions, Melola's homepage has not been updated.
It is reported that before joining Neuralink, Melora was already a senior expert in the field of brain-like chips. She has led the research and development and design of more than 10 brain-like chips, and has made many achievements in both academic and industrial circles.
public information shows that in 2006, after obtaining a doctorate in bioengineering from at Pennsylvania University, Melora joined the Stanford University Silicon Brain Laboratory and led the team to launch the brain-inspiring chip Neurogrid.
Then in 2010, Melora left Stanford and joined the chip giant IBM, serving as a research scientist in the IBM Brain Inspiration Computing Group. As the chief designer, she participated in the research and development of the IBM Brain-like chip TrueNorth.
This TrueNorth is a brain-like chip composed of 64 by 64 lightweight synaptic core. It has 5.4 billion transistors, 1 million neurons and 256 million synaptic , and its operating power consumption is less than 100mW.
TrueNorth caused a sensation in the industry as soon as it was launched, and its research results were also on the cover of Science magazine on August 8, 2014.
At the end of 2016, Melora left IBM and officially joined Neuralink as a co-founder. The specific work was to be responsible for the chip design of Neuralink brain-computer interface equipment .
brain-computer interface device chip needs to meet the low-power consumption requirements under huge computing tasks, and brain-like chips just meet the applications in this scenario.
From this perspective, Melora's joining is of great significance to Neuralink, which is carrying Musk's dream of brain-computer interface.
Now, five years after joining Neuralink, Merola left quietly again, when Neuralink human experiments have not made substantial progress and commercialization has no intention.
. With the departure of this co-founder, Neuralink’s original eight-person founding team, besides Musk, is the only implant engineer, Dongjin Seo.
news was revealed, and netizens' reactions were somewhat meaningful:
Guess Neuralink website and on Wikipedia What does the article about who founded this company ?
seems to be alluding to the story of Musk and the original founder of Tesla, which will be staged again in Neuralink?
...
In addition, another co-founder who left was also exposed to news that was not good for Neuralink.
, which resigned in May last year, Max Hodak, later invested in a company called Synchron, which also specializes in brain-computer interfaces.
But unlike Neuralink's delay in "implementation", Synchron completed the first access surgery for brain-computer interface equipment in the United States in early July .
And this is not the first time Synchron has completed such a surgery. According to Bloomberg, Synchron has previously implanted its equipment on four Australian patients.
These patients currently have no side effects. With the help of brain-computer interface, you can also use Whatsapp to send information and online shopping.
In contrast, Neuralink stated as early as a report in 2019 that it would obtain the permission of the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) by the end of 2020, and experiments will be conducted on the human body.
But until now, Neuralink, which has been established for 6 years, has not received permission from human experiments except for several tests on animals, and the original promise has been delayed.
Even in February this year, it received a "red card" from American Medical Responsibility Association : accusing Neuralink of invasive and deadly brain experiments on 23 monkeys between 2018 and 2020.
...
And at the moment when the team is broken and the project is "fruitful", Neuralink was exposed a gossip a while ago -
Musk and executive Shivon Zilis have a twin...
In addition, the outside world's questioning has never stopped.
For example, after the "live pig experiment", "father of brain-computer interface" Miguel Nicolelis directly turned on bombardment mode :
He (Musk) said, I don't agree with a single word.
One More Thing
On China, the heated discussion on brain-computer interfaces triggered by Musk also received huge responses.
The most representative of the "Red Cannon" episode 360 Zhou Hongyi . He came to the scene at night to follow the topic, and from the perspective he is best at - anti-virus.
. Do you still need to study human brain firewall and antivirus software ?
also needs to use our human brain security guard to check and kill him.
However, the naughty netizen replied like this: Is
easy to uninstall?
