Elon Musk: prediction

2 Aug 2024 Lex Fridman Podcast #438 – Elon Musk: Neuralink and the Future of Humanity

“We’ll improve the signal processing. So, even with only roughly, I don’t know, 10, 15% of the electrodes working with Noland, with our first patient, we were able to get to achieve a bit per second.”

Transcript context

…What improvements do you think we’ll see in Neuralink in the coming, let’s say, let’s get crazy, the coming years. In years, it’s going to be gigantic, because we’ll increase the number of electrodes dramatically. We’ll improve the signal processing. So, even with only roughly, I don’t know, 10, 15% of the electrodes working with Noland, with our first patient, we were able to get to achieve a bit per second. That’s twice the world record. So, I think we’ll start vastly exceeding the world record by orders of magnitude in the years to come. So, start getting to, I don’t know, 100 bits per second, thousand. Maybe if five years from now, we might be at a megabit, faster than any human could possibly communicate by typing, or speaking. Yeah. That BPS is an interesting metric to measure. There might be a big leap in the experience once you reach a certain level of BPS.…
