Posted by Carse Peel in categories: biotech/medical, Elon Musk, robotics/AI
Neuralink is working to link the human brain with a machine interface by creating micron-sized devices.
He said creating a brain-machine interface will be vital to help humans compete with the ‘godlike’ robots of the future.

‘We Do Not Have Long to Act’: Tech Heads Warn UN About Autonomous Arms
Posted by John Gallagher in categories: drones, Elon Musk, robotics/AI
SpaceX head Elon Musk and other industry leaders write that autonomy will lead to wider and faster war.
The prospect of tanks, machine guns, and drones that think for themselves becoming widespread is giving tech luminaries the heebie-jeebies.
In an open letter today (Aug. 21), a group of specialists from 26 nations called for the United Nations to ban the development and use of autonomous weapons. The signatories include Tesla CEO Elon Musk and DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman, as well as other leaders in robotics and artificial-intelligence companies. (Google acquired DeepMind in 2014.)

Here’s How To Fix The Big Problems With Elon Musk’s Mars Spaceship
Posted by Klaus Baldauf in categories: Elon Musk, space travel
This week electrovehicle and space transit magnate Elon Musk unveiled his master plan for the human race to become “a multi-planetary species”, starting with travel to Mars. But while I know it’s an act of remarkable hubris for me to even say this, I believe SpaceX’s plans for their Interplanetary Transport System have some pretty glaring flaws. The good news is they are flaws that are easily corrected by applying some decades-old solutions from the American and Soviet space-faring experience.
After going over the system architecture and basic spacecraft design, I think there are places where the system can be made to use less fuel, reduce manufacturing complexity, increase crew room, deliver more payload, and more.
