If science journalism is going to survive genAI (and Jen, from Corporate), we're going to have to do a lot more than rewrite press releases 🧪
What The **** Is The Point Of Us Then?
Are we better than the machines or not?

Totally agree, but regurgitating news releases and quotes is cheapest, while advertisers may prefer (unwarranted) hype for ad exposure. Using AI will be still cheaper, all working against a market for good science journalism. Uphill battle?

"Their experience—balancing pixel-level reality with semantic AI overlays—is exactly the experience sighted people will soon face when AI begins filtering their visual world too (through AR glasses, smart lenses, or attention-steering assistants)."

"Users of tools like The vOICe are in effect early philosophers of human-AI perception, experimenting firsthand with adjustable layers of sensory mediation."

Before long, blind people and sighted people will all be spoon-fed by AI-generated information. In the mean-time, blind people will be at the forefront in deciding how much visual input processing to delegate to AI while keeping agency and the ability to "see for themselves".

"So, yes: the first 'Blindsight' surgeries will almost certainly amount to surface-level phosphene demos dressed up as a revolutionary milestone — impressive to journalists, safe enough for regulators, and sufficient to sustain the narrative."

My bet: Neuralink will not dare do a full Neuralink Blindsight brain implant right away, but will in the name of a phased approach just implant some electrodes in easily reachable sections of V1 to show off that they can generate phosphenes (of course they can, that's the easy part).

Given that this paid Morgan Stanley report "Neuralink: AI in your brAIn" has Neuralink in the title, it seems rather likely that Neuralink (or its owner or other investors) paid for it.

For motor problems Neuralink seems basically fine and promising, and I believe they have now done about 12 implants of that type. I do not question the future for those kinds of applications of brain implants. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

For now, Elon Musk's Neuralink Blindsight brain implant for the blind is just vaporware: no evidence that it even exists, let alone that it will become available on the market, no peer-reviewed publications, no monkey videos, no clinical trials, nothing. #BCI #NeuroTech
