Elon Musk’s BrainPlug

/in , /by

Well Matrix is about to become reality…if Elon Musk has his way.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that, Elon Musk has started a company called “Neuralink” to develop a “neural lace: that would allow humans to communicate with machines without a physical interface. By implanting electrodes into a brain so that we could upload or download thoughts to a computer – thus possibly allowing us to achieve higher levels of cognitive function. (all sounds X-Men like doesn’t it!)

Musk touched upon a Neural Lace like implant at Vox Media’s Code Conference in 2016, stating it could allow humans to achieve “symbiosis” with machines, preventing them from becoming “house cats” to AI.

Though the WSJ is reporting that Neuralink’s first products could use implants to treat disorders such as epilepsy.

Drone Near Misses!

/in , /by

Heathrow is apparently a hive for people flying their drones near planes. According to the latest report from UK’s Airprox Board, 3 planes narrowly missed drones last year.

Two of the three were classified as “category A” – one incident, the drone was below the plane’s right wing at 10,000 feet (9,600 feet above legal altitude for drones in the UK)

Second incident, a pilot taking off from Heathrow saw a drone 150ft away from his wing at 3,000ft.

Third incident was less dangerous but still came within 200 ft of an aircraft.

According to investigators, the drones in these incidents are custom made and not able to be bought off the shelf.

Overall the report discusses 70 near misses in 2016 up from 29 in 2015.
