      @spektred  ChatGPT is nowhere near even average humam intelligence. Is just a really Strong Ngram LLM. But is Narrow Weak A.I even the latest model. I believe we currently about 60% to AGI. And to ASI 10% internally considering biocomputers and other excellent Machine Learning Architecture. Bigger A.I models doesn’t always main smarter A.I can give diminishing returns in terms of speed and hallucinations.

Its hard and current treatments haven’t worked for him like ECT, meds, supplements and more. Hopefully this BCI startup comes out soon and I hope when this startup comes out they can help patients like my cousin brother. He is going through a really rough time:( Also their are similar startups to this but we’ll see what this BCI startup does:)

    One day future generations will all be plugged into this. I just hope at that point it can be something you can wear instead of needing to have an operation!

    • @Leto2ndAtreides

      July 30, 2024 at 6:24 am

      Going with the Neuralink direction, the aim is to have the operation itself be automated, accurate, quick, and nearly painless… With the option to also remove or easily put in upgraded versions if that’s what you want to do.

      That’s the main think Neuralink is doing better… Making the surgery easier.

      Even so… Meta (Facebook) is working on external input systems like what you’re talking about. And supposedly they’re quite impressive (if still experimental)

  31. @Laminar-Flow

    July 30, 2024 at 12:19 am

    As an engineer, fidelity will never be as high as with electrodes implanted directly into brain matter. That is the future; this is a baby step that mainly relies on machine learning (like most modern BCI’s, which is why it’s competitive) to get good results but will get usurped pretty quickly by far better options. Kind of a mediocre solution when the end goal is maximum bandwidth. Sure we can stint every vessel in the brain but that’s… invasive too.
