Neuralink's Second Successful BCI Implant

Neuralink has successfully implanted its brain-computer interface in a second patient, Alex, who is now able to design 3D objects and play video games using the device. Improvements made after issues with the first implant, including adjustments to the surgical procedure and recording algorithm, have enhanced the device's stability and functionality.

Neuralink Corp., the brain-computer interface (BCI) company founded by Elon Musk, has recently made significant strides in its mission to connect the human brai

Google has rehired Noam Shazeer and Daniel De Freitas, the co-founders of Character.AI, along with a team of approximately 30 researchers. This strategic reintegration into Google DeepMind signals a broader trend of major tech companies absorbing innovative AI startups by hiring their talent rather than outright acquisitions.

Character.AI, founded in 2021 by Shazeer and De Freitas after leaving Google, rapidly became one of the most notable consumer AI startups. The company, backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), developed a custom chatbot platform that garnered millions of users. These bots collectively handle about 20% of Google Search’s query volume, underscoring the platform’s significant user engagement and technical prowess.

Intel has announced a significant restructuring plan, which includes laying off over 15,000 employees—more than 15% of its workforce. This decision aims to reduce costs by $10 billion by 2025, following disappointing financial results and a challenging outlook for the second half of 2024.

Intel reported a 1% decline in second-quarter revenues compared to the same period last year, primarily due to gross margin pressures related to its AI PC products. Despite some profitable products, the company's Foundry business has incurred substantial losses—$7 billion in 2023 and another $2.8 billion this quarter—due to heavy investments in new factories and advanced technologies like extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography.

In a recent technical paper, Apple revealed the inner workings of its Apple Intelligence AI features, set to debut on iOS, macOS, and iPadOS soon. The paper addresses concerns about data usage, reiterating that no private user data was employed in training the models. Instead, Apple relied on a mix of publicly available, licensed, and open-sourced data.

The Apple Foundation Models (AFM) were trained on a massive dataset of 6.3 trillion tokens, including web data, licensed publisher content, and open-source code. Apple claims to have "license-filtered" the code to ensure minimal usage restrictions. Math-focused data and human feedback were also used to refine the models and mitigate potential issues.

Microsoft, which has invested $13 billion in OpenAI, announced that its withdrawal from the board would be "effective immediately." Apple, initially expected to take an observer role on OpenAI’s board as part of a deal to integrate ChatGPT into its devices, will also refrain from doing so, according to insider sources.

An OpenAI spokesperson highlighted a shift towards hosting regular meetings with strategic partners, including Microsoft, Apple, and investors like Thrive Capital and Khosla Ventures. This new approach, led by recently appointed CFO Sarah Friar, aims to keep key partners informed and engaged without formal board roles.
