ELON MUSK HOPES TO PUT A COMPUTER CHIP IN YOUR BRAIN! DO YOU WANT ONE?

If you are not really afraid of what is happening - get ready, we will raise your paranoia to absolute. Conspiracy theories, stunning statements by opinion leaders, intriguing media headlines around the world - all this prepares humanity for major changes. Are things really as they seem, or are they distracting us from something truly important?

The attention of the whole world is directed to a new global order. Today's guidelines look unconvincing. Despite the fact that for several hundred years, humanity has been fantasizing about a possible super-future, faced with this consciously today - it feels lost and wounded. Throughout history, mankind has repeatedly been faced with the destruction of various sustainable concepts. For example, in the 60s science discovered quanta, non-linearity, chaos, the complexity of the world; determinism collapsed (paradigms of views based on the experience of previous generations). All stable ideas about the world as an ordered system with a hierarchy burst like a giant bubble. We faced a sharp, rapid reduction in the time parameters of all processes, and this gave rise to the problem of optimizing management decision-making. Difficulties in making decisions, huge material losses when guiding by the "trial and error" method have led to the development of artificial intelligence, a significant breakthrough of which occurred in the 70s. This has become a reference point in the development of human civilization, as a qualitative new stage.

Let's face it - everyone is afraid of change. Sometimes we are paralyzed by fear at the thought of a change of work or a beloved home, loss of a loved one or a sudden illness, let alone global evolutionary shifts. Along with this, the thoughts of many people are absorbed in reflections “What will my life look like in 5-10 years? Who will I be? Will I see a super-technological new world and can I become a part of it?” Elon Musk is one of those who not only reflects on the many options for the future, he brings it closer, predicts and invents.

Genius, playboy, millionaire, philanthropist - Elon Mask takes 31st place in the ranking of Forbes magazine for 2020 with a fortune of $ 24.6 billion. Mask himself does not regard his capital as something great or truly significant. He dreams a lot and uses his financial resource as a tool to realize his dreams. For example: to colonize people on Mars and build rockets that could deliver payloads into space. He sees real value precisely in the possibility of the development of mankind, confirming this with donations to various foundations, including for the Institute for the Future of Humanity, as well as generous investments in his own inventions.

Until recently, the Neuralink startup remained “top-secret” and first revealed its developments in April 2017, expressing its intention to implant chips to people with serious brain diseases, and in the long run to help humanity improve. “It sounds rather strange, but ultimately we will achieve a symbiosis with artificial intelligence. This is optional, you can choose it if you want. This is what I think will be really important on a civilization scale,” Mask said at the presentation of his new product.

In May 2020, Elon gave a large, frank interview to Joe Rogan, where, among other things, he spoke in detail about the mechanics of implanting Neuralink into the human brain. “Neuralink will be installed in the skull according to the principle of “ice fishing” (a hole is drilled in a frozen pond where a thin fishing line with bait is placed). “We will literally replace a piece of the skull with a Neuralink device and very carefully place the filament electrodes into the brain. The device will be able to connect to any part of the brain: it can improve vision (if there is a problem with the optical nerve) and hearing, too. In general, everything that does not work due to brain damage can be stimulated by Neuralink to work. Also, our development will allow to cure paralyzed people by implanting a microcontroller for muscle groups in the vicinity of non-working limbs. In fact, we can create a neural shunt, and this will help a person with paralysis of the limbs not only walk normally, but even better than most healthy ones.

The diameter of the device we are working on now is about an inch (2.54 cm), for understanding, the average thickness of the skull is somewhere around 7-14 mm. The special robot that we have created puts electrodes in the human brain, avoiding veins and arteries so as not to injure. The electrodes are placed exactly in the place of the brain that they should stimulate.

The device will definitely be able to cure all types of traumatic brain injuries and diseases like epilepsy, loss of control of the muscles of the face, Alzheimer's, etc.,” Elon explains. The developer also noted that the first introduction of the device into the human brain will be possible to implement in less than a year.

To understand the basic principle of the functioning of the AI ​​neural network, it is enough to imagine how the neural network of the brain works. It is still not known exactly - the brain works according to predetermined algorithms or its functions are not very similar to the known logical and mathematical algorithms. And yet, in teaching the neural network, the AI ​​uses the “movement and rethinking” method. Imagine in your head a Christmas garland with many bright lights. The layer of neurons passes through the intermediate steps to complete understanding and then passes the same steps in the opposite direction. Roundtrip. According to Mask, Neuralink is not trying to "copy" the structure of the neural network of the human brain - this is impossible, just some elements and principles are taken as a basis. It is also impossible to say that the plane flies like a bird - it does not flap its wings, but its wings work on the same principle as the birds.

“When we think about achieving the symbiosis of AI with humans, we understand that this is a certain requirement for survival in the future,” Mask said. But is it?

“Requirement for survival” - may be due to a significant change at the molecular level, in other words, in the case of the global superiority of the symbiosis of people with AI over others; “do or die” choice. Suppose we all need electricity in the apartment to survive, to light the room, cook food and warm ourselves in the winter, but there are also nomadic tribes who still live without it, as primitive. Yes, we have an advantage, but electricity is not a requirement for survival, it is convenience. Quite a different matter.

People, by their nature, tend to succumb to the influence of the Leader. That is, if Elon Mask says “We must do it”, they will go and do it, however no one will ask “why”. Any competent “throwing” into our heads can become a living idea, the phrase “requirement for survival” will be surrounded by “Body” and will lead more than one hundred followers. Remember the story how a few years ago, the network was flooded with articles and videos that the Earth is flat. Proponents of this theory are sure that our planet has a pancake shape, and all the allegations of modern scientists, astronauts and space agencies are lies spread by a "secret world government" with poorly explained goals. It would seem that any person who has studied physics and astronomy at school should understand that the Earth is a sphere, but the views of the “flat-earths” are surprisingly shared by a large number of people.

And imagine what can be imposed on humanity in the field of neuroscience and AI, in which there are so few reliable and not controversial discoveries?

How our brain works?

We have a reptilian brain, limbic system and cerebral cortex. In fact, “primitive brain” and “smart brain” are noted. The cerebral cortex is much smarter than the limbic system, but they still interact quite well.

Computer and AI act as a third - tertiary layer, which acts in symbiosis with the cerebral cortex. Mask places particular emphasis on the fact that we already live with three layers. Who can imagine their life without a gadget? Remember the day when you accidentally drowned a phone in a river or forgot it at home? It is impossible to imagine our life without an alternative way of transmitting data. There is only one caveat that computers and phones are still in poor data transfer. 100 bits per second - the speed of typing with your fingers on the keyboard, a computer can process 100 terabytes per second - our devices literally do everything millions of times faster. But if you solve the problem with the speed of data entry (typing on the keys to process data by technology), then you can improve the existing symbiosis between man and machine.

Symbiosis - it sounds scary in the context of AI, but it can literally change the process of communication between people. Mask “prophesies” that in 10 years there will be no need for speech.

“What happens when you have a difficult idea that you would like to convey to another person? Your brain spends a lot of effort to squeeze a complex concept into words, a lot of information is lost along the way - this is an inevitable loss in compression. Then these words are unpacked by the person who hears it, at best, he will get an incomplete version of what you tried to convey. After a while, after many tests and developments, Neuralink will be able to provide data transmission among people in a non-verbal way,” says Elon. Nevertheless, this development is aimed at implementation in the near future, obtaining permission from the FDA is not so simple, testing everything and putting it into widespread use. Elon gives a report for 10 years. Therefore, humanity, take a breath, a surprise will not work, we will not wake up suddenly surrounded by cyborgs and randomly flying around city transport.

Scientists all over the world say that no one was able to detect in specific elements or cells of the nervous network any specific psychological function - such as memory, self-consciousness or mind. This suggests that these properties are associated with the organization and functioning of the nervous network as a whole.

A community of professors of neurophysiology and neural interfaces believe that the brain cannot be connected like a computer. Scientists have not yet found a way to connect to find out where the memory is stored. It seems that the information is not localized in some centers, but distributed between tens of billions of cells and a million billion contacts between them. Connecting to them is even theoretically impossible. What is already actively enjoying success in world medical practice? There are 10 thousand people with epilepsy in the world who already have implanted electrodes in certain centers of the brain. They read information to understand when a seizure begins. In this case, the implanted device sends electrical signals and suppresses the attack. But neither read personal information nor control a person like that is possible. Another example: an absolutely paralyzed person is given a microchip with 100 thinnest electrodes that penetrate the cerebral cortex by 1.5 mm - they are in contact with nerve cells (neurons). This allows a person to learn to communicate with the outside world at least a little. Neuralink promises complete deliverance from disease. This is their mission and main goal, according to the developers.

Mask also believes that by implanting Neuralink, we will not turn off emotions and feelings - we already live in symbiosis with AI. Google Assistant and Alexa use neural networks to decrypt our speech. In a sense, humanity has already turned into a cybernetic symbiote.

Agree, we literally worship technological progress, which of you "prays" for the opportunity to communicate without using words? Imagine a situation in which we simply have no choice, as is the case with Neuralink. Suppose you need it for health reasons. In a couple of years, after the predicted cure for a terrible disease, you will want more (like the new iPhone model). In the course of evolution, we have achieved unimaginable results in the development of technologies, but each of our new consumer “I want it to be even better” there are certain consequences. Each river has a source and each reaches its "sea" or estuary. Christians believe that one day the second coming of Christ awaits us. A kind of "sea" in which people will enter and another era will begin. The Bible has a precept, which says that with the Beast coming into our world, everyone will take him for Jesus Christ, believe him, put a stigma and follow him. These people will forever be buried the road to Paradise. Only those who do not believe the Beast will stand.

This period bears the name of the Second Beast, one that will break free from the shackles and come to the world to take possession of it. This devil, who for many centuries sat in fetters, will break out. However, this is the last Beast before the Apocalypse.

Everyone who has a chip imposes a “seal of anarchist” on himself, which, incidentally, is also another topic from the Bible. For a long time, ancient minds wondered what kind of event this would be, what kind of press they were talking about. And when the time approached, many realized that this was an era of electronic technology.

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” (Rev. 13: 16-18).

So, what will happen if we have no choice? Chipization over the past 5 years has been actively gaining momentum in corporate culture. In February 2017 in Belgium, Newfusion replaced its employees conventional electronic badges with implanted microchips. Now they can use their hands to open doors in the office, use photocopiers and other office equipment.

In October 2018, at the Ülemiste City Technopark, Tallinn, several enterprises began to implant chips to their employees on a voluntary basis. The first group of Tele2 telecommunications company employees implanted NFC microchips under their skin to facilitate the passage of security systems. As Sputnik Estonia later wrote, more and more people give their consent to chipsing every year. The views of society on this were divided: someone believes that this is progress and it is inevitable; others are preparing for the apocalypse.

Recall Bill Gates' TED Talks speech in 2015, many are confident that the billionaire knew everything about covid-19 in advance: “We spend a lot of money on nuclear weapons, not on preventing epidemics.” In 2010, he wrote on his blog about the outbreak of H1N1 (swine flu). According to him, “the fact is not how bad the H1N1 was, the real story is that we were lucky that it was not worse. After all, we are almost completely unprepared for this." He also called the outbreak “a wake-up call” and called for investing in improving the ability to track and control the deadly epidemic, “because there will be new epidemics in the coming decades, and there is no guarantee that we will be lucky next time.” As for the sensational chipization of Gates, there is no reliable information that he wants to “reduce the population of the planet” thanks to this technology. So far, we can only discuss speculation and phrases taken out of context from his interview.

But here's a fact: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC. registered a patent under the number WO / 2020/060606, the patent number received the "number of the beast" from the Bible. This patent describes the procedure for introducing chips into the human body. It is still unknown whether this will take place under the guise of vaccinations, or through the introduction of a mechanism for improving vital functions as Mask sees it.

However, according to the UN (from 1950 to the present: data development by the United Nations (UN), Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division), over the next 30 years, the world's population will increase by two billion people, reaching 9,7 billion by 2050, and by 2100 - 11 billion people.

The UN conducts repeated studies every few years, studying new factors and opportunities for the future. We will write about this later. Now you need to understand that the numbers used by the media, scientists and well-known inventors are only 10% of the 100% possible that can happen in the future and how we will all live together on our planet.

Elon Mask is convinced that when it becomes possible to intervene Neuralink to stimulate human abilities, we will encounter a “mind virus”. Humanity does not strive to be the same, we need healthy competition and the possibility of choice. Ultimately, a Neuralink product can lead to incredible cognitive changes - an increase in productivity of more than 10 times. Will conflicts arise amid such a difference between individuals? Elon believes that no, but we remember well, at least take one example from world history when the named supernation decided to dictate its rules to all of humanity. The elementary law of nature says: “The fittest survives,” but how will we live in such a world and will we?

“If you think of corporations as a whole, then they are much smarter than one person. I would not be able to build a rocket alone - this is impossible. SpaceX employs 8,000 thousand people. Working in synergy, we can launch many rockets into orbit, dock ships with the ISS, etc. And therefore, I don’t think we should worry about the different capabilities of people,” commented Elon.

Can Neuralink affect human evolution? Perhaps this is the very device that can turn a person into a likeness of “God” as a super-being. And this will significantly bring us closer to the end of existence as a species - as one of the most common theories about the future of mankind, stated in the book "Homo Deus". Such development will take much longer than 10 years and even 100 years. Again, it is unlikely for us to be a surprise. Remember yourself 5 years ago? Is this really the same person that is reflected in your mirror today?

Any skeptical mind will agree that the laws of physics are, one might say, an axiom of the model of life. All that we see and feel is just a set of electrical impulses. But the same science does not tell us anything about consciousness. Many people think that due to symbiosis with AI in the future, a person will no longer be recognized. Elon Mask himself does not confirm or refute the theory - he is obsessed with the idea that we can gain the illusion of eternal life by storing all the data on the "cloud" (including memories and sensations). This in itself is incomprehensible and surprising; delights and confuses.

Elon Mask is called the heir to Steve Jobs and Leonardo da Vinci, a crazy professor, prophet, genius and curse. Whatever side to look at the personality of the inventor - hardly any of us is able to conduct at least some kind of analysis. The future is tomorrow. Mask promises that, subject to civilization, in 25 years we will have an interface for the whole brain!

Humanity! We live in an endless stream of incredible discoveries. In this material we looked only at one of the inventions of the famous inventor. Everything that is not popular to talk about is also happening. Feel free to open your eyes and look around. The world is changing today!

Can an advanced mind enjoy bonfire gatherings?

Well, yes, why not, I like to gather around the fire © Ilon Mask
