Apple | Spotify | Amazon | YouTube Listen to and follow ‘Hard Fork’This week, more drama at OpenAI: The company wanted Scarlett Johansson to be a voice of GPT-4o, she said no … but something got lost in translation. Then we talk with Noland Arbaugh, the first person to get Elon Musk’s Neuralink device implanted in his brain, about how his brain-computer interface has changed his life. And finally, the Times’s Karen Weise reports back from Microsoft’s developer conference, where the big buzz was that the company’s new line of A.I. PCs will record every single thing you do on the device. Guests:Noland Arbaugh, the first Neuralink patientKaren Weise, technology correspondent for The New York TimesAdditional Reading:

☆ Despite Setback, Neuralink’s First Brain-Implant Patient Stays Upbeat
  + stars: | 2024-05-22 | by ( Christina Jewett | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Just four months ago, Noland Arbaugh had a circle of bone removed from his skull and hair-thin sensor tentacles slipped into his brain. A computer about the size of a small stack of quarters was placed on top and the hole was sealed. Paralyzed below the neck, Mr. Arbaugh is the first patient to take part in the clinical trial of humans testing Elon Musk’s Neuralink device, and his early progress was greeted with excitement. Neuralink’s staff had to retool the system to allow him to regain command of the cursor. Though he needed to learn a new method to click on something, he can still skate the cursor across the screen.

☆ Elon Musk’s Neuralink is seeking a second person to test its brain chip

New York CNN —Elon Musk’s brain implant startup Neuralink is accepting applications for a second human trial participant to test its device, the billionaire said on X Friday. Neuralink said that the threads connecting the chip to Arbaugh’s brain had retracted, causing performance issues, although the company said it made adjustments to improve its function. Still, Arbaugh says the implant — which allows him to control a computer cursor with his brain — has changed his life. This is the next step forward of helping people with paralysis.”Now, Neuralink is seeking more people like Arbaugh to test out its brain chip. About a month after the operation, Musk said Arbaugh could control a computer mouse with his brain.

☆ This ALS patient has a brain implant that translates his thoughts to computer commands

Without ever clicking a mouse or touching a screen, Mark selected this command on his computer simply using signals from his brain. “I figured I had two choices: I could wallow in self-pity, or I could pick myself up by the bootstraps and do what I could to help,” Mark said. Synchron’s brain implant, the one Mark has, is called a Stentrode and consists of a stent with electrode sensors that can detect electrical brain activity. That external transmitter sits right above the internal transmitter and carries the signal from Mark’s brain to the computer almost instantaneously. Earlier this month, Musk also said Neuralink’s first human trial participant can control a computer mouse with their brain.

☆ Fact Check-USA Today headline saying Musk company killed 3,000 monkeys is not real
  + stars: | 2022-12-08 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
An image of a fabricated USA Today headline is circulating on social media that claims Neuralink, Elon Musk’s company working on brain-implant technology, has killed 3,000 monkeys. The altered headline in full reads, “Elon Musk’s Neuralink implants have killed nearly 3000 monkeys since last December, 98% fatality rate” and was purportedly written by Bailey Schulz, a general assignment money reporter at USA Today. A viral tweet that shared the fabricated headline on Dec. 1 received over 100,600 likes and 8,200 retweets at the time of writing (here). Gannett, the media company that owns USA Today, confirmed via email that the headline is fake and never appeared on usatoday.com. A USA Today headline that says Neuralink killed 3,000 monkeys is fabricated.
☆ Exclusive: Musk’s Neuralink faces federal probe, employee backlash over animal tests
  + stars: | 2022-12-05 | by ( Rachael Levy | Thomson Reuters | Award-Winning Journalist Covering Corporate Governance. Her Reporting Has Prompted Federal Investigations | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +16 min
Reuters could not determine the full scope of the federal investigation or whether it involved the same alleged problems with animal testing identified by employees in Reuters interviews. Musk has pushed hard to accelerate Neuralink’s progress, which depends heavily on animal testing, current and former employees said. Delcianna Winders, director of the Animal Law and Policy Institute at the Vermont Law and Graduate School, said it is “very unusual” for the USDA inspector general to investigate animal research facilities. In September, the company responded to employee concerns about its animal testing by holding a town hall to explain its processes. “We’re extremely careful,” he said, to make sure that testing is “confirmatory, not exploratory,” using animal testing as a last resort after trying other methods.
☆ Elon Musk’s Neuralink Set to ‘Show and Tell’ Latest Brain-Computer Advances at Event
  + stars: | 2022-11-30 | by ( Daniela Hernandez | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Elon Musk‘s neuroscience startup Neuralink Corp. is expected to give a progress report on its brain-implant technology in a highly anticipated streamed event Wednesday night. In a tweet last week, the company teased a demo for the event, which begins at 9 p.m. New York time, with a short video that slowly spelled out the message “please join us for a show and tell.” Some outside researchers said the video may indicate that a Neuralink device has been used to decode brain signals to type words on a screen, although they speculated that it would most likely be through a monkey or a wearable device.

☆ Elon Musk’s Neuralink shows brain implant prototype and robotic surgeon during recruiting event

The event showcased a video that Musk said showed a monkey using a brain implant to control a cursor and type on a computer. Musk noted during the “show and tell” event that the primary goal of the evening was to recruit talent to Neuralink. Musk, however, also tends to emphasize non-medical uses, such as using brain implants to even the playing field, if digital artificial intelligence becomes smarter than any human. During Wednesday’s event, Musk was asked if Neuralink would plan to make its tools available to neuroscientists. Before Neuralink’s brain implants are mass produced and hit the broader market, they’ll need regulatory approval.
