This is a solo episode of the podcast.

One of many, I think, I'll add these to the RSS feed, so you can listen to them as well.

Hopefully it's interesting to some folks.

These will probably have a Lex solo number before the title of that episode,

as opposed to just the number for the regular interviews.

The aim is for these episodes to be focused on a particular topic.

At times challenging, at times personal, at times exciting to me and the technical or philosophical

and neural links specifically based on the recent update on progress from the neural link team.

I have a basic outline in front of me with some ideas, but most of it is just off the top of my head,

so I hope you're okay listening to that kind of thing about my general thoughts,

about neural link and the recent update of progress.

I was fortunate enough to attend the demo in person as a random visitor, really,

and chat with another random, but much, much smarter visitor.

Jim Keller, with whom I did a podcast a while ago, and we agreed to do another with him soon.

He's one of the most interesting and brilliant people I know, so it was great to catch up.

But outside of that, I was just a spectator like everybody else watching online.

I have no insider information, I have no interest in insider information.

I'm just a fan, long-time fan of the human brain, and anyone who's working hard to understand

it's inner workings. The general sense I got is that there's a lot of exciting engineering

and scientific challenges that the big and varied team there is tackling.
