Elon Musk said something like "We're already cyborgs, we just have a very inefficient interface. It's very often our thumbs typing on a phone."

Tim's talk centers on one main point, "To be a better cyborg, be a better human being, one your mother would be proud of."

He summarizes insights from four books that come at AI & our relationship with it from completely different, but interrelated perspectives.

He draws one primary lesson from each book.

The first is The Age of AI. ( About AI directly )

The second is The Battle for our Brains ( About our rights & the laws around neurotechnology, & what others can learn from our raw neural brainwave data.

The third is The Chaos Machine ( About how we interact with the AI algorithms has & continues to have unintended & potentially dire consequences, & what we can do about it. )

The fourth...he's keeping a secret because it ties all four together is a simple, perhaps counterintuitive & immediately relatable way you can ACT on today.
