Gm. For the NBA fans out there, it looks like Steph Curry will face off against Sabrina Ionescu in a 3-point shootout. Not gonna lie, I might have to take Sabrina in this one. She’s just different.

Elon’s craziest company just did something that could completely change everything.

Neuralink, the wild brain chip company, just put a chip in somebody’s brain for the first time.

If all goes well, then they may be the first person to enjoy the fruits of Neuralink’s first product: Telepathy.

Telepathy does basically exactly what you’d think it would. Chipped-up people would be able to control their phones, computers, TVs, or any other device just by thinking. As Elon describes it, it’d be like if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a speed typist or auctioneer.

That’d be game-changing for people who have lost the use of their limbs, and accordingly, that demographic will be Telepathy’s initial users.

Now, this isn’t a new idea by any means. Last year, researchers were able to use a brain chip to restore a paralyzed man’s ability to walk.

Where Neuralink differs is its scope. Controlling your phone with just your thoughts? Streaming Spotify directly into your brain? Curing blindness? Turning us into AI-human hybrids? Hell, maybe we can even become a species of Lucys.

It’s hard to comprehend, but if Neuralink works, the possibilities are literally endless.

Let’s Just Hope: That things go better for that first brave soul than it did for the Neuralink monkeys.
