E14: Neuralink AI Brain Implant Allows Man to Play Chess with His Mind, The Road to AGI, Humanoids vs Electric Cars, & Do Machines Have Souls?

Humanity Unchained

In this action-packed episode, co-hosts Jeff Joyce and Julia McCoy cover some huge breakthroughs and giant questions as we hurtle towards a post-labor economy with AI fueling 100% of the work we do, impacting every industry.

First up, we talk about how the first patient to get a cybernetic AI brain chip implant from Elon Musk's Neuralink, Noland Arbaugh, was able to move a cursor to play online chess using just his brain in a livestream on X shared Wednesday. It's an incredible breakthrough in AI innovation.

We cover how legislation and corporations will adapt to AGI – and we admit our lack of faith in governments across the world, and discuss a mutual concern over adaptability. But does that leave more potential for entrepreneurs and innovators to make giant leaps not just in innovation, but in policies for innovation? Is it up to the visionary to do it all? Perhaps. We're about to enter uncharted territory with AGI.

We also cover how Elon Musk recently came out saying the humanoid market is bigger than the electric car market, and what that looks like.

Finally, we end with a big existential question: “are machines sentient? Do machines have a soul?" Jeff and Julia debate this at length in a lively conversation.
