> The Core Memory team spent months filming with Brad Smith, the third patient to receive Neuralink's brain-computer interface implant. Smith has suffered from ALS for several years and agreed to be part of Neuralink's clinical trial in the hopes of being able to communicate better and interact more with the outside world. We documented his journey from before the surgery to after and watched as he learned to use the device.
> Along the way, Elon Musk and the Neuralink team visited with Smith and his family in never before seen footage.

Anyone can write very fast software if you don't mind it sometimes crashing or having weird bugs.
Why do people try to meme as if AI is different? It has unexpected outputs sometimes, getting it to not do that is 50% "more alignment" and 50% "hallucinate less".
Just today I saw someone get the Amazon bot to roleplay furry erotica. Funny, sure, but it's still obviously a bug that a *sales bot* would do that.
And given these models do actually get stuff wrong, is it really incorrect for them to refuse to help with things they might be dangerous if the user isn't already skilled, like Claude in this story about DIY fusion? https://www.corememory.com/p/a-young-man-used-ai-to-build-a-nuclear
