The other is, which I don’t subscribe to that, I’m simply saying that there is an incentive here, if legal immigrants wish, I think have a very strong bias to, at least everything I’ve read, very strong bias to vote Democrat. The more that come into the country, the more they’re likely to vote in that direction. It is, in my view, a simple incentive to increase voters to Democrat voters.\nYeah. Your question is how. There’s a few ways that this works. One is that, when the census is done, the census is based on all people in an area, whether they are citizens or not. If there are a concentration of people who came here legally, in a particular state, that state will actually then get an increased number of House seats. The House seat apportionment is proportionate to number of people, not the number of citizens. The illegals overwhelmingly go to places like California and New York, and if you just look at the math, if you look at the apportionment with and without illegals, I believe California would lose… I believe there will be a net loss of blue states of approximately 20 seats in the House.\nThis also applies to the electoral college. You say this also applies to electing the president because the electoral votes are also done by apportionment the same way that House seats are done.",

What you’re saying about it is the exact opposite of the reason why the electoral college is there. The electoral college, at this point in our history, gives people who are in smaller states and red states much more of an influence over our elections than people who are in blue states and the majority of the people in this country. That’s what the electoral college does. It actually does the exact opposite of what you’re saying. It protects people who are in smaller states and protects people who are in red states. Red states because they tend to be smaller and less populous.",

},
{
"content": "I think that statement is… What you said is true, but what I said is also true, which is that, as is the case, a disproportionate number of illegal immigrants go to blue states, they amplify the effect of a blue state vote. And the math, as I understand it, you can research this obviously very easily on there, it’s pretty straightforward to research this, but my understanding is that the Democrats would lose approximately 20 seats in the House if illegals were not counted in census and that’s also 20 less electoral votes for President.

But probably the reason is that when you start off and you don’t make any cars a year, and you go to someone who said we’re going to make 20 million cars a year from zero, who’s going to believe you and make all the equipment that we need.\nSo as a result of that, you were forced initially to be able to say, we’ll vertically integrated. We can’t rely on you, we will do vertical integration. (…) anyone wants to show us a mine. We got people in mines who are knowledgeable, and they come to say, ‘we can produce this much lithium, this much copper’.

So it’s been a century since a car company was successful in the US that was not a foreign car company coming in that was already successful in their home market. But for an American car startup, Tesla was the first success in 100 years. So you can imagine if you’re an auto supplier that doesn’t sound like a smart financial decision.\nSo we had to just build a lot of stuff ourselves, be vertically integrated, or we couldn’t create the car. Then that ended up being an asset because now we understood so much about the entire supply chain or what it took to build the car, so we were able to design a more integrated vehicle that actually needed far fewer parts and cost less and weighs less, and has higher performance.

And so for the EV industry, for the vehicle industry, we need to see powertrain efficiency really increase at all other companies, matching Tesla powertrain efficiency, so that everyone can have that diversified cathode approach, where\nLFP\nis used in medium range, and even really make a 300-mile vehicle with LFP.\nAnd really, the goal that we were trying to present here was a model for vertical integration, strategic vertical integration, that a lot of different people can do. What we need to see is vertical integration that shortens the process path, from mine to cathode. And what we’re doing here is novel, and we’re trying to push the industry in that direction. So we’re presenting a model here that anyone can follow.",

And I think actually, as we go to a more autonomous future, the importance of entertainment and productivity will become greater and greater.\nI mean, to the degree that if you’re just basically sitting in your car, the car is fully autonomous and driving somewhere, the car is essentially your chauffeur, and then the things that become important are, okay, well, let’s have good entertainment, and if you want to do some productivity stuff, then that actually starts to become much more important because you’re no longer spending your attention driving the car.

With kerosene, you’ve got the long chains, they’ve got to break down, they’ve got to recombine, it’s a total soup, you know. It’s a part-like dinner situation. It’s very hard to get high combustion efficiency with kerosene.\nSo, when you look at, say like, ‚what’s the theoretical value of a lox/kerosene engine, as compared to a methane engine?‘ The kerosene actually looks more compelling than it really is because you can’t achieve the high combustion efficiency with kerosene that you can with methane. So, you actually want to say, ‚what is the actual achievable combustion efficiency times the theoretical chemical energy?‘ That’s the real number, and this is where methane starts to look really good.\nIt’s very hard to get to like 96 percent combustion efficiency, or even 95 percent combustion efficiency with kerosene, but with methane, you can get 98 easy, 99 with a little bit of difficulty.",

And our job is to make the tiny wires – like Elon referred to them – or we call it threads, that are implanted in the brain. And of course, the threads are made of conductors and insulators, and choosing the right material that is amenable to the brain and compatible with the brain is something that our team has expertise in, and we work seriously on interface engineering, just to make sure that our layers are actually well thought through, well designed. At the end of the day, when we implant this right, they’ll be actually functional for either reading or for writing in the brain.",

{
"content": "Yeah, I think it’s going to be important in terms of material science problems, is making sure that the threads so the electrodes, can last for decades in the brain, which is a tricky thing because it’s a very corrosive environment and you’re in a dichotomy where you want to read, and you want to send electrical signals, and you want to generate electrical signals. But you don’t want to corrode the electrodes over time.\nSo, you need to have an insulating layer that is very robust but also very, very thin. It has to be just the right amount of insulation, and it has to stay that amount of insulation over time. So that’s why we think probably like a silicon carbide type insulator is probably the best long term from a material science standpoint. But silicon carbide is tough material to work with. But that’s probably the right choice long-term. Would you say?",
"role": "assistant"
},
{
"content": "Yeah, I totally agree. And it – also apart from its electrical properties – it also helps with adhesion between the metal layers and the polymer substrate. Another thing that we are also looking at is since we are actually reducing the electrode dimensions, the electrode side, the axial side that actually speaks to the neuron, also have what we call high resistance to the signal. So, we actually looked into material engineering that will reduce the impedance at our interface so that we can actually have a very small electricity but still be able to speak clearly to the neuron.\nAnd when you guys say thin, how thin?\nHow thin? One strand of your hair is about 100 microns in diameter. We can think about dividing that into 20. So you know, one of the thickness that we recognize about five microns, and we have this facility to go even thinner in the nearest future.",

"content": "Yeah, we think we can probably go sub-micron in thickness.

And, yeah, in terms of upgrades, that’s part of why I wanted to show the explanted pig is to show that you can actually take the device out. And there’s no observable behavior change. The pig is as happy as before, and healthy.\nAnd I think this is going to be important for upgrades. Because obviously, if you get an early device, then by the time – let’s say you get version 1 – probably by the time we have version 3 or 4, you want to upgrade. You wouldn’t want version 1 of a phone, and ten years later, everyone’s got version 3 or 4. So it’s going to be important to be able to remove the device and upgrade it over time.

One is obviously sustainable energy generation, which is primarily wind and solar. There’s also hydro, geothermal. I’m actually pro-nuclear. I think nuclear is fine.

The second part is you need batteries to store the solar and wind energy because the sun doesn’t shine all the time, the wind doesn’t blow all the time.

As many people know, Elon Musk is a leader of Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and the Boring Company. What may be less known is that he’s a world-class engineer and designer, constantly emphasizing first principles thinking in taking on big engineering problems that many before him would consider impossible.\nAs scientists and engineers, most of us don’t question the way things are done. We simply follow the momentum of the crowd. But revolutionary ideas that change the world on the small and large scales happen when you return to the fundamentals and ask: „Is there a better way?“ This conversation focuses on the incredible engineering and innovation done in brain computer interfaces at Neuralink. This work promises to help treat neurobiological diseases to help us further understand the connection between the individual neuron, to the high-level function of the human brain, and finally, to one day expand the capacity of the brain, through two-way communication with computational devices, the internet, and artificial intelligence systems.\nThis is the „Artificial Intelligence Podcast“.

Like sometimes, people will have someone else be their sort of Twitter manager or something like that. And I think people should just do their own tweets. Sometimes you make a mistake or something. It’s fine. But I think doing your own tweets, just like you would give a talk here or have a meeting at a summit, that’s the way to do it. To actually do the tweets yourself and convey the message that you want directly.\nOne thing I should say: I know this is called the “World Government Summit”, but I think we should be maybe a little bit concerned about actually becoming too much of a single world government, if I may say that. We want to avoid creating a civilizational risk by having, frankly – this may sound a little odd – too much cooperation between governments. If you look at history and the rise and fall of civilizations: really, all throughout history, civilizations have risen and fallen. But it hasn’t meant the doom of humanity as a whole because they’ve been all these separate civilizations that were separated by great distances.\nWhile Rome was falling, Islam was rising. So you had, you know, the sort of caliphate doing incredibly well while Rome was doing terribly. And that actually ended up being a source of preservation of knowledge and many scientific advancements. So I think we want to be a little bit cautious about being too much of a single civilization because if we are too much of a single civilization, then the whole thing may collapse.\nI’m obviously not suggesting war or anything like that. But I think we want to be a little bit wary of actually cooperating too much. It sounds a little odd. But we want to have some amount of civilizational diversity such that if something does go wrong with some part of civilization that the whole thing doesn’t collapse, and humanity keeps moving forward.",
