Nick Wray, the 8th person in the world with a Neuralink implant has passed away due to ALS. For the time I knew him, he carried an optimistic energy that helped pick others up. One of his go-to sayings was: "Be good, do good. 😎" In support of his family and friends, we can all choose to live by that message every day. More information can be found in the link in Audrey's post:

Neuralink's third participant, Brad, now has his own Neuralink news series. ALS took his voice, so he puts together each episode of 'Neuralink This Week' using his implant and SuperIntelligence tools. Episode 1 covers Elon being listed as Neuralink's CEO in Tesla's latest proxy filing, Elon saying "Neuralink will help millions of people" after Jake shared his story, and a fact check on a viral Blindsight clip. Limitations start to disappear when you have Neuralink and rapidly advancing superintelligence!

Neuralink Update — September 2026

You have the power to positively change someone's life by getting them to join the Neuralink team- Share this with any of your talented + intelligent student friends living in the Bay Area:

This is a special moment from a Neuralink VOICE trial patient. He is able to speak through an AI voice clone thanks to his brain signals being decoded and translated into words.

Grok Bot (and also the other AI models) are becoming incredibly good. It feels unfair to have this much capability for such a cheap price. But there is a problem. Even though I'm using Grok Bot every day for productive work, I'm constantly reminded of how slowly I type. My thoughts are faster than my fingers. It's also a challenge to compress my pure thoughts into words the computer can understand. The solution is Neuralink- a high bandwidth brain interface that will grab my raw brain signals and send them directly to Grok Bot. In the long run, the output could be fed/ downloaded to my brain directly as well. Also, the rate the models are improving is quickly going to make digital intelligence surpass biological intelligence. When digital intelligence is truly superhuman in every way, the only chance we have at keeping up is to have a robust connection. We need to bridge the gap between our brains and AI. These are the reasons Elon and the co-founders started Neuralink in the first place. They wanted to make sure AI did not decouple from collective human will. The way to summarize this in a single sentence is: "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." But there's more. In the shorter term (the next dozen years or so), the primary mission is to help those with the worst brain and spine problems. Conditions like dementia, depression, blindness, tinnitus, and paralysis will be solved thanks to Neuralink- how about that for a side quest! These are the reasons Neuralink's mission statement is: "Create a generalized brain interface to restore autonomy to those with unmet medical needs today and unlock human potential tomorrow."
