👉 According to a Business Insider report citing leaked company documents, Microsoft has reportedly directed nearly all of its $19 billion capital expenditure toward AI-related infrastructure.
👉 Meta aims to spend between $37 billion and $40 billion in 2024 on technological infrastructure, with total AI-related costs potentially reaching $50 billion by 2025, according to a Quartz report citing a JPMorgan analyst.
Big Tech companies are investing heavily in artificial intelligence.
👉 Google is spending significantly on infrastructure, including $3 billion for data centers and $60 million for training AI models.
Neuralink has successfully implanted its brain chip into a second patient as part of its ongoing clinical trials.
Elon Musk announced this during a podcast with Lex Fridman, where he shared details about the procedure and the device’s functionality.
The first patient, Noland Arbaugh, who is quadriplegic, received his implant earlier this year, allowing him to control computer movements with his mind.
This device has enhanced Arbaugh’s independence, enabling him to play video games, browse the internet, and interact with digital devices without physical assistance.
The second patient, who also has a spinal cord injury, now has 400 working electrodes in their brain. Musk mentioned that Neuralink plans to implant a total of 10 patients this year, with eight more to go. Each implant will offer valuable insights into neurobiology, signal decoding, and processing.
Why did AMD’s stock jump over 8% after hours yesterday?👇
You can thank none other than AI.
The company reported a strong Q2, beating analyst estimates and offering a positive outlook for the next quarter.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the key figures:
* Adjusted EPS: $0.69 vs. $0.68
* Revenue: $5.84B vs. $5.72B (+9% YoY)
* GAAP Gross Margin: 49% (+3 pp YoY)
AMD’s data center revenue, which includes sales of server CPUs and AI chips, soared 115% YoY to $2.8B.
Revenue from its MI300 chips, the company’s main AI chips that compete with Nvidia’s H100 series, hit $1B in sales for the quarter.
Data center revenue now makes up nearly 50% of AMD’s total revenue, and the company plans to release new AI chips annually.
CEO Lisa Su increased the 2024 revenue forecast for data center GPUs to over $4.5B, up from $4B.
AMD’s client segment, which covers CPUs and APUs for PCs, also saw a solid 49% growth to $1.5B, thanks to strong AMD Ryzen sales.
On the flip side, AMD’s gaming and embedded segments faced declines of 59% and 41% YoY, though both were better than expected amid a slower industry.

We use an artificial person to practice placing the Neuralink implant 👤
—
This lifelike model allows our surgeons to refine their skills and ensure the utmost care during the delicate procedure. By meticulously perfecting every step, we are paving the way for a future where Neuralink can seamlessly integrate with the human brain, unlocking a world of possibilities.
Freshly baked 🍪
The N1 implant falls into the category of brain-computer interfacing (BCI) devices. Sized at approximately 23 by 8 millimeters, this compact, coin-sized implant is designed to facilitate a brain-computer interface (BCI) when embedded within the human brain.
BCIs typically involve acquiring electrical signals from the brain, interpreting them, and potentially transforming them into actions. This technology can potentially be utilized in a wide range of applications, with the present focus being on health and medical uses.
🧠✨This flow of information between your brain and the outside world would be so easy it would feel the same as your thoughts do right now. It would be second nature to you, if not first.⬇️⬇️
Basically, a Neuralink brain chip interface is a communication system. It’s like having earpieces, but you don’t respond to the other line by speaking, but by thinking. The signals that go off your neurons are read by an interface that translates into data.
As you can see by now, there are limitless applications for such technology and one could only imagine what it cannot do.
Take a closer look at new surgical robot 🧠
Neuralink surgical robot can be separated into three main parts: The head, the body and base. The head of the robot is that helmet-like piece, which actually holds the head of the patient.
It also includes a guide for the surgical needle, as well as embedded cameras and sensors to map the patent’s brain. The intent of the design of this piece, which includes a mint-colored interior, is to give the robot “an anthropomorphic characteristic” that helps distract from the invasive nature of the procedure. There are also single-use disposable bags that line the interior of the helmet for sterile operation.
“Will show neurons firing in real-time on August 28th. The matrix in the matrix,” Musk tweeted at the end of July. 🧠🔥
One of Neuralink’s inventions already revealed is a surgical robot for inserting electrodes into the brain. The devices are connected by flexible “threads” measuring between 4 and 6 μm or, about 1/3 the diameter of human hair, capable of transferring high volumes of data from the brain.
The design has been tested on at least 19 different animals with robots with around an 87% success rate, according to the venture’s presentation last year.

Neuralink’s N1 chip can control a host’s emotions and mode by emitting waves that are outside of natural frequency and amplitude.
The original function of the chip was to help people with severed spinal cords restore mobility, but can now alleviate stress and anxiety by balancing hormone levels in the brain.
More light will be shed on the topic at an event scheduled for August 28.
👉 Elon Musk's xAI is reportedly spending between $3 billion and $4 billion on Nvidia H100 GPUs, which are critical for AI processing.
👉 According to a report from The Information, OpenAI's operating costs for the year are estimated at $8.5 billion. This includes $4 billion for server capacity rented from Microsoft and $3 billion for training AI models.
The Humane AI Pin, a $699 wearable device launched in April 2024, is facing significant challenges.
According to a report from The Verge, returns of the AI Pin have surpassed sales between May and August 2024, with only around 7,000 to 8,000 units remaining unreturned.
The AI Pin, designed by former Apple employees Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno, received overwhelmingly negative reviews. Critics like Marques Brownlee called it “the worst product” he’s ever reviewed.
Humane generated $9 million in sales, but over $1 million worth of products have been returned. Due to technical limitations with T-Mobile, these returned devices cannot be refurbished, turning them into e-waste.
The situation worsened when Humane issued a warning for customers to stop using the charging case due to a fire hazard, further damaging consumer confidence.
Despite initial ambitions to sell 100,000 units in the first year, only about 10,000 have been shipped, and the company is now in talks with potential acquirers like HP.

On the Lex Fridman Podcast, Elon Musk outlined his vision for Neuralink, aiming to enhance AI-human symbiosis by boosting communication bandwidth.
Musk highlighted the disparity in communication speeds between AI and humans, stating that AI could operate at terabits per second while humans communicate at much lower rates.
He noted that this gap could lead to AI becoming “bored” waiting for human responses.
Musk believes Neuralink brain implants would enable humans to “think and communicate at the speed of AI,” fostering closer integration of human and machine intelligence.

This robot has the ability to make the precise movements necessary to install the threads into your brain. It sounds like a simple task, but at the small scale that the threads are, it becomes a task that’s about as complicated as landing a space rocket safely back on Earth — something Musk is all too familiar with.
“These things are really, really small. You really can’t manipulate them with your hand. The threads are peeled off one at a time by the robot to place into the brain… So we had to build a surgical robot… The surgery is not possible without the robot.”
- Max Hodak, President of Neuralink
The lack of scalability in BMI has mostly been caused by the fact that they’re inefficient to use. By either limited recording or impracticality. The practicality is often a bit of a cost/gain thing, as with most BMI’s in the past the prospect of having a huge piece of metal sticking out of your head that causes the same amount of symptoms as you were trying to avoid is a hard pitch to sell.
One of the most interesting things about this implant by far is the user-independence post-implementation. One of the main reasons the app was developed was to give users the ability to function after the surgery as independently as possible, again opposing the BMI norm.
Most BMI’s require years of retraining motor function in the presence of medical professionals after implementation. The hope is that with this app, the time spent relearning motor control can be a shorter process mostly done at home.
🧠 Neuralink designed the implant to accomplish this by specifically counter-acting 3 fatal flaws of other BMI’s:
📈 Lack of accurate large-scale neuronal recording- Current BMI’s need to leverage neuronal count for quality of the recording or Vice/Versa.
📈 Tissue Damage/Scarring — Invasive BMI’s are abrasive to brain tissue.
📈 Scalability- BMI’s often aren’t scalable due to quality, practicality, cost, etc.
In the white paper Neuralink released explaining the implant, Neuralink’s implant as the scalable alternative; describing it as “An integrated brain-machine interface platform with thousands of channels”.
🧠 techcrunch reported artificial intelligence will be conquering the music industry in the future.
In fact, mind-reading AI will be the one predicted to choose the type of music of each human.
Neuralink brain chip allows humans to put music inside the human brain.
This means that anyone can hear a melody in their head, even without a smartphone or external device.
🎧 When asked “Can we listen to music directly from our chips?”, Musk replied with a rather blunt “Yes”.

The technology will be focused on improving the lives of people suffering from brain diseases and disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Although the end aim is more transhumanist, the company aims to improve the cognitive performance of humankind through machinery integration.
The operation of inserting the chip will somewhat resemble the Lasik eye surgery. The procedure will be partially handled by a neurosurgeon robot, the research paper details “Each thread can be individually inserted into the brain with micron precision for avoidance of surface vasculature and targeting specific brain regions. The electrode array is packaged into a small implantable device that contains custom chips for low-power on-board amplification and digitization”
While non-headphone headphones have been around for a while, this is the first attempt at bypassing the hearing apparatus for this purpose.
