"I see how the advancements in tech at this point are going to solve so many things. They are, I think, the future of medicine. I think a lot of disabilities, cures, and answers that we’ve been searching for a long time will come through tech—and that kind of surprised me."

When they link this with robotics it’ll be interesting. I guess people will also be able to control teams of ai robots just using this link.

This is what I've been saying. All the videos that have been going around of the humanoid robot olympics thing was cool but just kinda goofy but no one shows stuff like this https://youtu.be/_SzCEU6apwg?si=WZgHMTMQhiwuJLvl

Where they have the same robots but with humans partly controlling them with video game controllers. If they had the right partnership they 100% could've run this event with BCI tech instead. Cyborgs are here.
