Where man meets machine: Yesterday, Elon Musk’s Neuralink
Today, at around 3:45 a.m. EST, a massive cellular outage swept the country, affecting hundreds of thousands of AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Consumer Cellular, Boost Mobile, U.S. Cellular, and Straight Talk users.
“They say they don’t think this was a cyber attack, but how did all of them go down at the same time?” asks Glenn Beck.
To make matters even more suspicious, yesterday, Israel experienced a cyber attack conducted by Iran, according to Israelis, “and it was an attack on their cell phone services.”
“Quite a coincidence,” says Glenn.
However, something else quite out of the ordinary happened yesterday as well.
A new technology called Neuralink was announced. Designed by Elon Musk, Neuralink is capable of transplanting the “whole internet into your head.”
“It’s the first real merging of man and machine, I think,” says Glenn.
“Elon Musk said Neuralink is active in the first person to have one of the chips implanted in their brain, [and] they have seemingly made a full recovery.” According to the Tesla CEO, this test subject is now capable of “[moving] the mouse around a screen just by thinking.”
Interestingly, Musk has been outspoken about his fears regarding artificial intelligence.
“He believes we cannot compete with AI unless we can merge with it” at least “until we can get off this planet,” says Glenn, adding that Musk also has plans “to have a million people on Mars” by the year 2029.
While the whole notion is a bit “creepy” for Stu Burguiere, he does see some potential benefits to Neuralink.
“If he was able to take people with disabilities and all these these issues that have been unsolvable throughout all of human history and somehow figure out a way, through Neuralink or something similar, to solve that for all these people, it would be the greatest thing he ever accomplished by a long shot,” he tells Glenn.
