50:02 Solving everything else

This premium episode is a documentary-style video about the history and importance of Alphabet subsidiary, DeepMind. Demis Hassabis, the founder, was a chess prodigy by the time he was 13 years old. He went on to conclude he wanted to "solve intelligence" by building artificial intelligence agents and using digital tools. The team at DeepMind has created systems that defeated the world's best chess and Go professionals. They've also cracked the code on the infamous 'protein-folding problem.' Demis Hassabis and DeepMind are fascinating. Moreover, they're still just getting started.

After selling his company, Braintree/Venmo, for $800 million and battling chronic depression for 10 years, Bryan Johnson is now on a mission to help us measure and gather more data about the organ that makes us oh-so-human: our brain.

In this episode, Ryan Tanaka and Omar Olivares share an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at Kernel’s headquarters near Los Angeles, California. Ryan interviews Bryan Johnson tries on Kernel's wearable brain interface, 'Flow,' and learns about the engineering and technology developments needed to make it all happen. CTO, Ryan Field and Director of Applied Neuroscience, Katherine Perdue also share insights about Kernel's wearable Flow headset.

Welcome to Neura Pod, where we share updates about the company Neuralink. This Elon Musk-founded company is working on surgical brain implants, that’ll enable humans to talk to each other telepathically, and help paralyzed people walk again.

Unfortunately, the journey to achieving these goals is not a straight line. The engineering required to make these devices is fraught with challenges. There are also plenty of doubters, skeptics, and people who are genuinely afraid of what could happen with the new tech. This has once again become apparent recently as numerous headlines have claimed animal abuse and mistreatment at the company.

This update episode will start with the allegations being made, then share the highlights of Neuralink’s response. Next, we’ll have highlights of Lex Fridman’s interview with Tim Urban, the creator of the popular website and blog: WaitButWhy. After that, we’ll talk about an exciting trip Omar and I recently took to Kernel’s company headquarters right outside Los Angeles, California- which as a reminder is the brain-interface company Elon once considered joining. Then, we’ll share highlights of Joe Rogan’s interview with YouTube phenom- Mr. Beast where they ended up chatting about Neuralink quite a bit. We’ll also share an update on the potential merging of Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and the Boring Company. Lastly, we’ll discuss Neuralink and Kernel and their respective hiring needs. I also share I’ve started a company to help retirees do consulting work as easily and flexibly as possible: Reterns. https://www.reterns.com/
