"Apparently we're about to find out, at least according to Neuralink's Head of Surgery, Danish Hussain. In a post on X-formerly-Twitter, Hussain fretted that "so many people think [N]euralink is some evil megacorp" when actually it's "literally just out here helping the homies eat pretzels lol." Hussain's post referenced a video uploaded by another Neuralink staffer, which they claimed showed a man operating a slow robotic arm "all via telepathy.""
"Tesla's Optimus is an absolute mess, struggling to answer in complete sentences and walking in a stunted shuffle, let alone interfacing with a human brain. Musk has long relied on vague and buzzy promises like this to boost the short-term value of his companies. For Tesla, which is reeling from one of the most disastrous years in history, Musk recently promised that Optimus robots would make up "80 percent" of the company's value."
"For its part, Neuralink has now implanted its tech in 12 human test subjects. Results have sometimes varied; the company's first patient, Noland Arbaugh, reported that his device "didn't work so well anymore" after only a few months of use. So while Hussain sounds like he wants nothing but the best for Neuralink's patients, we're not exactly holding our breath for a brain interface that can flawlessly control humanoid robots. At least not Elon Musk's."
Neuralink's Head of Surgery, Danish Hussain, posted on X defending Neuralink and referenced a video claiming a man operated a slow robotic arm "all via telepathy." A commenter suggested combining Neuralink with Tesla's Optimus, and Hussain replied that such integration is starting simple and could happen soon. Tesla's Optimus currently struggles with basic speech and walking, and Elon Musk has used grand promises to influence company valuations. Neuralink has implanted its tech in 12 human test subjects with mixed results; the company's first patient reported the device "didn't work so well anymore" after a few months, leaving skepticism about flawless brain-to-robot control.
