This is a linkpost for AR Might be the Key to BCI from my Substack.
Summary: Pairing augmented reality with yet-unrealized advances in noninvasive, high-resolution brain scanning technology could be a key unlock in collecting and scaling data needed to enable robust brain-computer interfaces. I see this as especially useful in determining a shared latent space (i.e., an embedding interface) between neural data and such modalities as audio, vision, text, or even behavior. As the component technologies mature and become widespread, this could eventually open multiple paths to human emulation.
I was inspired to collect these thoughts more concretely after finally clicking through the hypertext in The Intelligence Curse and coming across Richard Ngo’s... (read 2778 more words →)
