Everybody knows something has changed the moment Noland played chess with his mind.

A few days ago, Neuralink presented its first real patient testing its brain chip, named Telepathy. We even saw him playing Mario Kart too.

Overall, it was an impressive and life-like demonstration of the hugely optimistic future that awaits people with severe disabilities like Noland, who is a quadriplegic.

And while the exact intricacies of the system aren’t fully disclosed, what has been disclosed combined with cutting-edge AI research in Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) from Stability AI and the University of Stanford is more than enough to give us great insight and understanding of how Neuralink’s brain chips work.

Let’s turn ‘magic’ into understandable intuition.

This insight and others have mostly been previously shared in my weekly newsletter, TheTechOasis.

If you want to be up-to-date with the frenetic world of AI while also feeling inspired to take action or, at the very least, to be well-prepared for the future ahead of us, this is for you.
