#438 – Elon Musk: Neuralink and the Future of Humanity

I do it all together because I've found that there is some interplay with it that maximizes efficiency with the cursor. So it's not all one or the other. It's not all just, I only use attempted or I only use imagined movements. It's more I use them in parallel and I can do one or the other. I can just completely think about whatever I'm doing. But I don't know. I like to play around with it.

I also like to just experiment with these things. Every now and again, I'll get this idea in my head like, hmm, I wonder if this works and I'll just start doing it. And then afterwards, I'll tell them, by the way, I wasn't doing that like you guys wanted me to. Yeah. I was, I thought of something and I wanted to try it. And so I did. It seems like it works.

#438 – Elon Musk: Neuralink and the Future of Humanity

Yeah, so it's just an app that Neuralink created to help me interact with a computer. So on the Link app, there are a few different settings and different modes and things I can do on it. So there's the body mapping, which we kind of touched on. There's a calibration. Calibration is... how I actually get cursor control.

So calibrating what's going on in my brain to translate that into cursor control. So it will pop out models. What they use, I think, is like time. So it would be, you know, five minutes in calibration will give me so good of a model. And then if I'm in it for 10 minutes and 15 minutes, the models will progressively get better. So the longer I'm in it, generally, the better the models will get.

Yeah, yeah, so Snake is kind of like my litmus test for models. If I can control Snake decently well, then I know I have a pretty good model. So yeah, the Link app has all of those. It has WebGrid in it now. It's also how I connect to the computer just in general. So they've given me a lot of voice controls with it at this point. So I can say connect or implant disconnect.

And as long as I have that charger handy, then I can connect to it. So the charger is also how I connect to the Link app to connect to the computer. I have to have the implant charger over my head when I want to connect to have it wake up because the implant's in hibernation mode, like always when I'm not using it. I think there's a setting to wake it up every so long.
