Today we hop on to discuss Elon Musk’s Neuralink before his presentation later this afternoon. We ask the question, “would you want Elon Musk to implant a computer in your skull?”
We call in esteemed Nantechnologist and UCLA physicist (and Aleksa’s step-dad) Dr. James Gimzewski to hear from a source on how integrated brain machines work on a nano-level, his experience with them, and how they can be both useful and destructive.
**POP CULTURE**
On naming your kids and why we have empathy for Katy Perry naming her daughter with three words.
On Brad Pitt dating someone half his age.
(You asked for it!)
A post-show note from Jim:
“I forgot to say I once imagined that technology like that one day could replace drugs both leisure and Pharma. It could be the strongest high for people as well as in an alternate synthetic reality. It would also excite images in the retina, sound and touch. In fact, people could interact with the software. Like Matrix.”
See you next week!
