#438 โ€“ Elon Musk: Neuralink and the Future of Humanity

But you could also... increase the rate at which these interfaces are aging by just increasing temperature. So every 10 degrees Celsius that you increase, you're basically accelerating time by 2x.

#438 โ€“ Elon Musk: Neuralink and the Future of Humanity

And there's a limit as to how much temperature you want to increase, because at some point there's some other nonlinear dynamics that causes you to have other nasty gases to form that just is not realistic in an environment. So what we do is we increase in our ALT chamber by 20 degrees Celsius that increases the aging by four times.

So essentially one day in ALT chamber is four day in calendar year. And we look at whether the implants still are intact, including the threads and- And operation and all of that. and operation and all of that. It obviously is not an exact same environment as a brain. Cause you know, brain has mechanical, you know, other more biological groups that, that attack at it.

But it is a good test environment testing environment for at least the, the, the enclosure and the strength of the enclosure. And I mean, we've had implants, the current version of the implant that has been in there for, I mean, close to two and a half years, which is equivalent to a decade. And they seem to be fine.

Yeah. You have to get it in the right pH too. And then consciousness will emerge. Yeah. No. Uh, by the way, the other thing that also is interesting about our enclosure is, uh, If you look at our implant, it's not your common looking medical implant that usually is encased in a titanium can that's laser welded. We use this polymer called PCTFE, polychlorotrifluoroethylene.

which is actually commonly used in blister packs. So when you have a pill and you try to pop the pill, there's like kind of that plastic membrane. That's what this is. No one's actually ever used this except us. And the reason we wanted to do this is because it's electromagnetically transparent. So when we talked about the electromagnetic inductive charging with titanium can.

Usually if you want to do something like that, you have to have a sapphire window and it's a very, very tough process to scale.
