OpenAI is investing in Sam Altman's new brain computer interface startup, Merge Labs.

This is super interesting because we, of course, know that this isn't a new area.

Elon Musk has famously been working on a brain interface company, Neuralink, for quite a while.

And I think we've seen on X and other social media platforms, some of the really interesting videos of people using this.

So I think it's becoming more familiar.

And I think when this kind of Neuralink first came out, there was a lot of

fear around it, essentially the fact that, look, do we really want to put a computer into our brain?

How's that going to impact us?

I think a lot of people were like, look, random everyday people are going to be walking around with computer chips in their brain to help augment how smart they are.

And in reality, I think we've seen that it's being used by people with, you know, that are paralyzed or have other

other challenges where they're not able to actually write or talk or speak or communicate or do things.

And all of the sudden, this is enabling all of that.

And Elon Musk recently went on and said that he believes in Neuralink and other tools like this, basically these brain computer interface startups merged with AI are going to bring back the functionality of people to all areas of the body where they never had it before, whether that's their arms or legs, if they're paralyzed.

Maybe part of that is you'll have robotics arms, but you'll be able to move them by thinking about it and different things like that.

Some people think you can stimulate parts of the brain to bring back movement to paralyzed parts of your body.

There's a lot of crazy science going on.

There's a lot that is going to happen in the future.

With all of that, it looks like Sam Altman is getting into this race with Merge Labs, his new brain computer interface startup.

We're going to be talking about the deal, why OpenAI is investing, how the circular deal in AI is going to play out.

But before we do, I wanted to mention, if you want to create a tool without knowing how to code, an AI tool, go check out AIbox.ai.
