A Paralyzed Man Can Walk Naturally Again With Brain and Spine Implants

 

Gert-Jan Oskam was living in China in 2011 when he was in a motorcycle accident that left him paralyzed from the hips down. Now, with a combination of devices, scientists have given him control over his lower body again.

 

“For 12 years I’ve been trying to get back my feet,” Mr. Oskam said in a press briefing on Tuesday. “Now I have learned how to walk normal, natural.”

 

In the new study, the brain-spine interface, as the researchers called it, took advantage of an artificial intelligence thought decoder to read Mr. Oskam’s intentions — detectable as electrical signals in his brain — and match them to muscle movements. The etiology of natural movement, from thought to intention to action, was preserved. The only addition, as Dr. Courtine described it, was the digital bridge spanning the injured parts of the spine.

Big possibilities, huge danger.

 

Microsoft President Brad Smith called today for the people behind artificial intelligence to be held accountable for shortcomings and urged lawmakers to ensure that safety brakes be put on AI used to control the electric grid, water supply and other critical infrastructure.
For weeks, lawmakers in Washington have struggled with what laws to pass to control AI even as companies large and small have raced to bring increasingly versatile AI to market.
In a blog post on Thursday, Smith emphasized the need for accountability.
"This is the fundamental need to ensure that machines remain subject to effective oversight by people and the people who design and operate machines remain accountable to everyone else. In short, we must always ensure that AI remains under human control," he wrote.
As part of a five-point blueprint for public governance of AI, Smith urged that special attention be paid to the electric grid, water systems and other critical infrastructure. "New laws would require operators of these systems to build safety brakes into high-risk AI systems by design," he wrote in the blog.
He urged use of a "Know Your Customer"-style system for developers of powerful AI models to keep tabs on how their technology is used and to inform the public of what content AI is creating so they can identify faked videos.
Last week, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the startup behind ChatGPT, told a Senate panel in his first appearance before Congress that use of artificial intelligence to interfere with election integrity is a "significant area of concern", adding that it needs regulation.
Altman, whose OpenAI is backed by Microsoft, also called for global cooperation on AI and incentives for safety compliance.
Some proposals being considered on Capitol Hill would focus on AI that may put people's lives or livelihoods at risk, like in medicine and finance. Others are pushing for rules to ensure AI is not used to discriminate or violate civil rights.
The concern has led to a flurry of meetings, including a White House visit this month by the CEOs of OpenAI, Microsoft and Alphabet Inc (Google). President Joe Biden met with the CEOs.
I will only repeat once again - let's hope lawmakers and low enforcement will be quick and efficient enough to protect us to a sufficient degree, if we leave it all to the market which actually means corporate greed, our future may be even more uncertain..

Elon Musk's brain-implant company Neuralink said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had given the green light to its first-in-human clinical trial, a critical milestone after earlier struggles to gain approval.

The FDA nod "represents an important first step that will one day allow our technology to help many people," Neuralink said in a tweet. It did not elaborate on the aims of the study, saying only that it was not recruiting yet and more details would be available soon.

 

Just add AI to the future brain chip and the race towards being brighter than other ones for the price of the chip will begin!

"Musk envisions brain implants could cure a range of conditions including obesity, autism, depression and schizophrenia as well as enabling web browsing and telepathy. He made headlines late last year when he said he was so confident in the devices' safety that he would be willing to implant them in his children."

 

Probably will provide a hotline to Twitter too.  The FDA is usually conservative about allowing clinical trials where someone is opening a subject's head and/or wiring their brain.  But, hey, Elon is a genius.  Do you want telepathy or not?

 

Well, this is very relevant to audio because it spells the end to all audio equipment that sits in a room.  Why do you need that?  I can connect Qobuz directly to my brain.  Sure, there will be fighting about resolution and MQA will make a comeback and reinvigorate the thread here on AS, but this will all be a huge improvement and a nice investment.

I've been repeating that for decades. Really. Only according to my vision 'Qobuz' will be also under your skull (I hate the idea of streaming). I have almost 20 thousand albums now I guess before the first successful brain chips get connected to Musk's fans storing that (despite the fact that 75% of my music is hi-res) storing something like that inside a 1 square mm space will not be a problem.

It won't be long before we will all say "We are all Elon" and actually mean it.  Linked by the invisible thread of his chips, we will sink into the OverElon consciousness and surrender all earthly belongings to ElonCorp.   There, basking in his ElonLight, we will have evolved to our true human potential.  Emperor Elon will be delighted.

AI to the rescue in the litigious society:

 

The lawsuit began like so many others: A man named Roberto Mata sued the airline Avianca, saying he was injured when a metal serving cart struck his knee during a flight to Kennedy International Airport in New York.

 

When Avianca asked a Manhattan federal judge to toss out the case, Mr. Mata’s lawyers vehemently objected, submitting a 10-page brief that cited more than half a dozen relevant court decisions. There was Martinez v. Delta Air Lines, Zicherman v. Korean Air Lines and, of course, Varghese v. China Southern Airlines, with its learned discussion of federal law and “the tolling effect of the automatic stay on a statute of limitations.”

 

There was just one hitch: No one — not the airline’s lawyers, not even the judge himself — could find the decisions or the quotations cited and summarized in the brief.

 

That was because ChatGPT had invented everything.

 

The lawyer who created the brief, Steven A. Schwartz of the firm Levidow, Levidow & Oberman, threw himself on the mercy of the court on Thursday, saying in an affidavit that he had used the artificial intelligence program to do his legal research — “a source that has revealed itself to be unreliable.”

An example about Minting in Butte Montana ...

 

Does Butte Montana has also a rich minting history ?

 

ChatGPT

Yes, Butte, Montana has a rich minting history as well. Butte was founded in the late 19th century as a mining town, and it quickly became one of the most important centers of copper production in the United States.

In the early 20th century, the city was home to several large copper mines, including the Anaconda Copper Mine, which was one of the largest copper mines in the world at the time. The production of copper in Butte was so significant that the city became known as "the richest hill on earth."

As a result of the city's mining industry, Butte also became an important center for minting. The Anaconda Copper Mining Company, which owned the copper mines in Butte, established a mint in the city in 1884. The mint produced gold and silver coins, as well as commemorative medallions and other items.

The Anaconda Mint was known for its high-quality coins, which were popular among collectors and investors. In addition to producing coins for the Anaconda Copper Mining Company, the mint also produced coins for other companies and organizations.

The Anaconda Mint closed in 1935, but its legacy lives on. Today, the city of Butte is home to several museums and historical sites that celebrate the city's mining and minting history, including the World Museum of Mining and the Copper King Mansion.

When did it all start to go wrong?

My theory:  MTV destroyed human ability to concentrate.  Music Video directors produced videos with quicker and quicker cuts.  Viewers could barely grasp one image before the next one appeared.  Overexposure to this technique must have done some damage to the still developing brains of young viewers.

How many people can "deep read" today.   Congress people don't read the bills they vote on.  How many people finished "Infinite Jest".   

How do we explain the division and hate that grips America today?  What happened to respectful political discourse?

 

When they killed the radio star, they may have killed something much more precious.
