Key Insights
Bullish:
- 🟢 $Neuralink - Discussing the potential of Neuralink's future developments and its impact on various fields.
- “We feel pretty confident that, I think maybe within the next year or 2 that someone with a Neuralink implant will be able to outperform a, programmer.” - Elon (0:00)
- “I think we'll also also, like, vastly exceeding the world record by orders of magnitude in the years to come.” - Elon (0:00)
- “I mean, in years, it's gonna be gigantic because we'll increase the number of electrodes dramatically.” - Elon (0:00)
- “I think probably a lot of people would would choose to have it. It would supersede the cell phone, for example.” - Elon (0:00)
- “We're aiming to give people who have, you know, quadriplegic or maybe have complete loss, of the connection to the brain and body a communication data rate that exceeds normal humans.” - Elon (0:00)
- “So we're hoping to do 10 by the end of this year. Total of 10. So 8 more.” - Elon (0:00)
- “I mean, I think I think Neuralink's eventual goal is to kind of understand those those things, and and be able to provide a platform and tools to be able to understand that and study that.” - DJ (0:00)🔒
- “I do think that there is a real possibility that you could see, you know, the 8,000,000,000 people walking around with Neuralink.” - DJ (0:00)🔒
- “I mean, even even with our early participants, if they start to do things that I I can't do, which I think is in the realm of possibility for them to be able to get, you know, 15, 20, if not, like, a 100 bps. Right? There's nothing that fundamentally stops us from being able to achieve that type of performance.” - DJ (0:00)🔒
- “I always felt like there was something going on. And to see how, I guess, easily I made it through the interview process and how quickly everything happened, how the stars sort of aligned with all this. It just told me like, as the surgery was getting closer, it just told me that, you know, it was all meant to happen. It was all meant to be, and so I shouldn't be afraid of anything that's to come.” - Nolan (0:00)🔒
- “I can't speak enough to how much I trust these people with my life and how impressed I am with all of them. And to see the excitement on their faces to, like, walk into a room and roll into a room and see all of these people looking at me like we're just we're so excited. Like, we've been working so hard on this, and it's finally happening. It's super infectious, and it just makes me wanna do it even more and to help them achieve their dreams.” - Nolan (0:00)🔒
- “I think right now for me to get, like, really, really good models, I'm in calibration 40 or 45 minutes. And I don't mind. Like I said, they always feel really bad. But if it's gonna get me a model that can, like, break these records on WebGrid, I'll stay in it for flipping 2 hours.” - Nolan (0:00)🔒
