Lex Solo #2 – The Future of Neuralink

My thoughts on 8 possible long-term futures of Neuralink after
attending the August 2020 progress update. This is a solo episode
#2 of the podcast. Hopefully it's interesting to some folks. The
aim is for these episodes to be focused on a particular topic, at
times challenging, at times personal, at times exciting to me on a
technical and philosophical level like the episode today. If you
