After seven years, I’ve resigned from Cortical Labs.
I’m proud of what we built, and grateful to everyone who was part of the journey — from an ambitious idea to something very real.
It’s been an extraordinary chapter.
I no longer have access to my Cortical Labs email, so if you’d like to stay in touch, please feel free to DM me here.
Onwards and upwards.

"OpenAI’s model was obviously not trained by solving other Millennium Prize problems ... it generalized all the way to solving a problem no human had ever cracked."
I paused reading until he provide evidence for the above statement.
What did OpenAI train the model on?

Today, the promises of transhumanism and posthumanism are multiplying. These are ideological currents according to which, sooner or later, technology will eliminate all disease and pain, as well as aging and even death itself. Precisely because scientific progress is a supreme achievement of human intelligence, it must not be confused with a privilege reserved for millionaires seeking immortality, while entire peoples suffer from poverty and oppression. In the face of this mirage, which promotes the illusion of human beings perfected by cybernetics and biotechnology, Christian anthropology reminds us that a limitation is not a manufacturing defect, but rather the very condition of human grandeur. #ApostolicJourney #Peru #MagnificaHumanitas vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

Forget about AIs solving cancer and world hunger if they can’t even vibe code a solution to M365 outage.

Hey Microsoft, your co-pilot is epically failing at getting even simple email working again. Yet, the AI techbros are promising to cure all diseases and bring us an age of abudance.

For all the narrative about Jensen caring about open source, I think there’s confusion about true open source software versus open weight models. Nvidia were the last GPU vendor to open source their driver and still isn’t mainlined in the Linux kernel.

It’s interesting that almost no one in the tech sector seems to think that lying to shareholders and cheating on your wife (presuming she was unaware) are fireable offenses, but yet NVIDIA’s board members did. Everyone’s hot take on this began with “of course it is bad…BUT.” The unspoken part is “money over everything.” Sign of the times.
It almost seems like poetic justice that the technology that Jensen helped create is being used to roast him on the Internet.

You're telling me the CEO of a company that threatened reviewers has been doing dodgy stuff? 🤔
Not to pile on the hate but anyone who has been involved in the GPU and PC hardware business before the Crypto and AI glow-up always knew Nvidia to be run as a ruthless and an unethical business. Just look at its treatment of its partners to contempt of the OSS community.

Ok y’all, EEG can’t measure the same brain signals as implanted BCIs. It doesn’t matter how much AI you throw at it.
Spatial averaging filters out high-frequency neural activity by the time it reaches the scalp. Anything higher than ~70 Hz for research-grade systems or ~20 Hz for consumer systems is below the noise floor.
Implanted electrodes are much closer to the brain and can resolve brain activity up to ~200 Hz (epidural), ~600 Hz (ECoG), and ~2 kHz (penetrating).
Saying you can infer high-frequency brain signals from EEG is like saying you can infer the lyrics to a song you’ve never heard by listening to the bassline. Sure, you can guess some lyrics, but they certainly won't be accurate.
That doesn’t mean that EEG can’t be useful. But we shouldn’t pretend that EEG can do the same thing as an implant. It can’t because: Physics.
