Episode notes
Web Grid Game Performance
- Neuralink user Nolan outperformed Sam Korus in the web grid game, scoring 9.5 bits per second versus Korus's 8.5.
- This is despite only 15% of Nolan's electrodes being active due to thread retraction.
Superhuman Capabilities
- Neuralink aims not just for human parity but to give humans superpowers, like enhanced interaction with AI.
- They plan to increase bandwidth significantly, from current levels to megabits and potentially gigabits per second.
Battery Life and Charging
- Neuralink's implant has a 4-hour battery life and is recharged wirelessly via a hat or beanie.
- The company aims to double battery life in the next version.
