A Speculation Article: Neuron Fusion of Humans and Machines

Introduction: Neuralink is a company based in San Diego, California that has created a technology called Synapse Design. This is the technology that allows two human brains to link together in real time to form one artificial intelligence system. If you are unfamiliar with Synapse Design, it is a technology that was developed by neuroscientists that uses the concept of synaptic plasticity, which is the ability of the brain to change and connect with other neurons. With this new technology the ability to connect two human brains will allow them to create a computer network that will be able to process information and provide relevant answers to questions in real time.

Humanity Fearing Artificial Intelligence

Humanity fearing artificial intelligence or better known as AI is the future of humanity and perhaps the human race as well. It has been said that if we do not invent artificial intelligence it could spell the end of the human race as we know it today. This could be true because there have been many cases where businesses of all types have created artificially intelligent software which is used by humans in decision making. There have also been cases where a business has created an artificially intelligent computer to carry out specific types of analysis and programming for that company.

Is it possible to trace where all the hype behind Artificial Intelligence technology taking over the world first began?

Maybe not but, one thing is clear as day.

The world cannot get over fearing the topic of an end of the world scenario. We see it in many forms as if it’s coincides with our own mortality. Perhaps, it’s even why the subject seems to circle around so much to begin with. As if society’s certain it will happen in their lifetime or the next. But who’s to say the generation before us didn’t think the same thing. In fact, they’d be more justified to feel that way considering the events that’d taken place at Hiroshima in august of 1945. Over 75 years ago, which is a lifetime for us but mere decades for the people of that generation.

How Cows Destroy an Entire Marine Environment (Click here for original source image)

How did the state of California to get so polluted that it had to declare a State of Emergency? The answer lies in the large number of dairy farms in the area and the large amount of water they used. Between them, cattle and dairy farms spread their wastes on more than 400 million acres of ocean waters. The combined toxic chemicals from all of these sources is much more toxic than the toxic chemicals they put into the water themselves.

One might think that an entire marine ecosystem would be protected by a species of sea turtle. Unfortunately, the sea turtles’ range is limited to the south pacific and central Pacific. This means that the northern Pacific Ocean was too unoccupied to support their reproduction, which led to the extinction of the species. How did cows destroy an entire marine ecosystem in California? A recent study conducted in the area by Oregon State University showed how a constant influx of dairy cows resulted in increased levels of dioxins in the ocean waters.

Neuralink is a biotechnology company founded by Elon Musk and a few others. The company’s headquarters is currently in San Francisco, California. The company was founded in 2016 and is currently first publicly disclosed in May 2017. In this article we are going to take a quick look at what the company does and what it plans to offer to the medical community.

Musk is the CEO of the company, along with Robert Ghaffarian, a former NASA science officer, and J. Norbert Curnoles, a Stanford University Electrical Engineering professor. They have received funding from both the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) and the Army Corp of Engineers. They plan to use the neuralink technology to help restore the function of the human brain to an extraordinary degree.

What is this amazing new technology? According to their website, it is “an advance in information technology that uses engineered molecules that can be inserted into the body via a procedure called intrathecal delivery”. This is just one of many applications for this cutting-edge technology. According to their website, it will help to deliver the nervous system from the body back to its natural state. This will allow the body to receive the neuralink signal it needs in a natural state and not needing to process it through the digestive system, or being burned up in the digestive system.
