While Neuralink was carefully running clinical trials, China quietly approved the world's first commercial brain chip — and nobody saw it coming. It's called NEO. No needles into the brain. Eight sensors sit on the membrane, coin-sized, reading your brain's electrical signals and sending them straight to machines outside your skull. A fully paralyzed patient thought "grip" — and a robotic hand grabbed a cup. 100% independently. First try.

This is Trust & Safety 2.0. The last time we had media-generated panics like this (with Russiagate and Covid), social media companies created “trust & safety” teams to censor conservative and dissident voices. Those hires worked with left-wing NGOs like the SPLC to police public discourse and do an end-run around the First Amendment. It almost worked, until Elon bought Twitter and exposed the whole game in the Twitter Files. This time the plan is to embed unfireable EA minders inside every AI company as the new trust-and-safety layer. The censorship and control will be far more comprehensive, but also more subtle. Anytime they don’t get what they want, this unaccountable NGO layer (with the veneer of “trust the experts” pseudoscience) will shriek to the press that the AI company is risking humanity, and they will be celebrated as “whistleblowers.” These groups haven’t earned our trust, and their agenda is not our safety. aievaluatorforum.org/initiat…
