It didn’t start with neurons. It started with ego, money, and a disagreement about intelligence. Years ago, @elonmusk helped seed @OpenAI (back then, a nonprofit) with roughly $38M. The idea was simple and idealistic: build #AGI that serves humanity. Fast forward a decade ->

@elonmusk and @sama, check out @brainvivo's Braintwin models, as we would like to offer a head start with our 7,000 Brain scans connected to LLMs to build the best Brain-LM in town. DM me

We need to pay careful attention to this battle for the human operating system. Are @elonmusk and @sama fighting to build better AI for humanity? Or is this an ego-driven arms race for control over intelligence itself? ->

After scanning thousands of brains and building #BrainTwins, we already know the punchline: Brain-generated data is faster, deeper, and orders of magnitude richer than language. Tokens at the speed of fingers are capped; Brain tokens aren’t.

So @OpenAI strikes back, and this time on Musk’s home turf. They fund @MergeLabs with $252M, betting on non-invasive #brainDecoding. Not typing speed - the speed of thought itself! Translating neural activity directly into tokens.

@Neuralink, @xAI, @Optimus @Tesla. One thesis connects them all: Intelligence doesn’t begin with language; it begins upstream, in the brain. @OpenAI gets the message. LLMs are nearing their ceiling. More text won’t unlock#perception, #intent, or #meaning. ->

In 2022, he bought @twitter for $44B. Officially, for freedom of speech, but in reality - the platform pivots hard toward #AI. By early 2025, X is folded into @xai: a direct shot at @ChatGPTapp, distribution included. At the same time, Musk is already playing a longer game.

@OpenAI is now valued at ~$500B. @elonmusk is suing for $79–$134B in damages. Lawyers fire. Statements escalate. Respect dissolves. But Musk doesn’t stop at the courtroom. He goes straight for the product ->

How much human knowledge has been lost to history? Well, this ancient wonder was razed by the Mongols in 1258 — it's said the Tigris River ran black with ink. Here's what was inside... (thread) 🧵

האמירות של ראש המוסד לשעבר, תמיר פרדו, פשוט מדהימות. זה מסר שצריך להפיץ בכל בית בישראל. ההפיכה המשטרית של נתניהו מפקירה את הילדים שלכם, את חיילי צה״ל, שינחתו בבירות שונות בעולם וייעצרו שם על פשעי מלחמה! הקשיבו לפרדו! בלי בית משפט עצמאי הילדים שלנו ימצאו את עצמם בהאג. שתפו 🙏

ב-2012 נשא בנימין נתניהו נאום מכונן על היחסים בין בית המשפט העליון לכנסת ולממשלה. 11 שנים מאוחר יותר, כשהוא נמלט מאימת המשפט, נתניהו מבצע הפיכה משטרית מנוגדת לכל תפיסת עולמו. לא ניתן לישראל להפוך לדיקטטורה! עזבו את הכורסא ועשו את המעשה ההכרחי הערב. צאו להפגין!!! שתפו 🙏

Ever wondered what is the difference between the brain of a bat, a kangaroo and a dolphin? In: https://t.co/XfrL7rDsE0 we analyze brain networks of 130 mammalian species to find that their overall connectivity is conserved regardless of brain size. @AssafLab @YovelBatLab

Happy to share with a commentary I wrote to science magazine on the use of diffusion MRI in brain plasticity.
