I haven't been posting for a while. I've been just quietly #BUIDL-ing hard together with my team. 🦾 An honor to have a one-on-one time with this champion, listening to his visions and plans. Super bullish! ⚔️ Those who know, know. Sometimes the simplest strategy of "simply #HODL-ing" might be the most rewarding.

Our second product is called Blindsight and it will, as the name suggests, enable even those who are completely blind or have never seen to see. It is ready from an engineering standpoint. Just waiting on regulatory approval.
Neuralink’s first product is called Telepathy. It enables high-speed communication with computers or humans simply by thinking. Output bandwidth will vastly exceed the fastest human speech or typing in a few years. Read that sentence again.

Our engineers recently visited one of our speech restoration study participants for a 72-hour hackathon. The goal: rapidly prototype as many features as possible to enhance the experience of using Neuralink to communicate with thought. Here are some of the things we built 🧵

I have just informed my colleagues that I will step down as @ECB President on 7 February 2027. It has been a source of great pride to serve this institution. I thank all of those who have supported me on this journey over the past seven years.

Last night an AI agent performed brain surgery on a mouse. We gave it 19 gene therapy vectors in a spreadsheet, a mouse model of epilepsy, access to a motorize surgery rig with cameras and one goal: reduce seizures. It picked the drug. It picked the brain region. It derived the coordinates from three papers. Then it drove the stereotaxic arms into the brain and injected 250 nanolitres while watching the entry site through the rig camera for bleeding. A licensed vet gated every irreversible step and held a physical kill switch to stop the AI agent. Thread on what it decided, what it saw, and the moment it refused to let me override it. [Writing this on the spot out of excitement, but I've been 18hrs in front of my laptop coding and coordinating this, so keeping it brief and descriptive, more cohesive thoughts on this soon...]

AI doesn’t need to hate humanity to harm it. It only needs an objective that makes people expendable. My #DemonicIntelligence framework asks: as AI agents gain the power to act, who retains the power to stop them? herbertrsim.com/demonic-inte…

Stanford just created a HUMAN-MOUSE CHIMERA whose cerebral cortex is 92% HUMAN BRAIN TISSUE. This is getting OUT OF CONTROL… Mad scientists are now growing living human brain tissue inside animals until it occupies nearly their ENTIRE CEREBRAL CORTEX. They genetically engineered mice to develop without most of their cerebral cortex, then filled the missing region with HUMAN BRAIN ORGANOIDS. The human brain tissue expanded nearly FIVEFOLD, eventually accounting for 92% of the animals' cortical tissue. The human neurons developed electrical activity, integrated into the mouse's nervous system, and extended nerve fibers all the way into its SPINAL CORD. Electrical activity in the HUMAN BRAIN TISSUE was associated with the mice's facial movements. The chimeric mice also demonstrated WORKING MEMORY, performing above chance on a memory test that mice lacking most of their cerebral cortex failed. This is straight out of a dystopian nightmare.

Is this the 777 sign before the global flood? 🧐 Netanyahu is also 77 years 7 days old today. Born 21 October 1949 to 28 October 2026. Lamech lived a total of 777 years, died five years before the global flood.
Who won Israel’s election? 🇮🇱 77.7% of Israelis came out to vote, nearly 5.7 million people, the largest voter turnout in Israel’s history. The initial results show three main blocs in the Israeli electorate. Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc looks like it’s only going to get about 50 seats, down from 68 in this current government. That’s a major loss for the Netanyahu bloc. Gadi Eisenkot and the opposition bloc look like they won the most seats at around 53 mandates. And the Arab parties are at around 17, their highest level ever. These numbers aren’t final, but at this point, none of these blocs have a clear path to the 61 seats needed to form a government. Israeli President Isaac Herzog will get the official results in about a week. A few days later, he gives one candidate the mandate to form a government. If a government isn’t formed, Netanyahu will remain in power, and the country will possibly go back to another election to try and break the stalemate. Stay tuned and keep following.
