Elon Musk has released the first look at the Neuralink, the neural implant tech he owns, in action. Nolan Arbaugh, a 29-year-old quadriplegic, appears to control a remote digital touchscreen in order to play chess only using his neural impulses. At the very least, the footage appears to confirm that Arbaugh is alive and well, unlike the dozens of monkeys that reportedly died testing the implant. However, the footage is yet to be confirmed as genuine. Furthermore, massive ethical issues surrounding Neuralink remain. While Arbaugh’s success, if confirmed, is great news for the industry, Musk is not the person many want leading…

WASHINGTON – Just three weeks after he traveled to the U.S.-Mexico border, President Joe Biden is back in Texas – not to draw attention to immigration issues but to raise money for his re-election campaign. But the battle over border security is once again hijacking the president’s plans. Hours before Biden landed in Dallas on Wednesday night to attend a pair of political fund-raisers, a federal appeals court heard arguments on whether a controversial new Texas law that could upend U.S. border policy should be allowed to take effect. The law could have significant ramifications not only on the question of who gets to…
The legal wrangling this week over a Texas law that would grant state and local authorities the ability to arrest and deport people who’ve illegally crossed the border is illustrative of a simple fact: Under the Biden administration, illegal border crossings have skyrocketed. As soon as he took office, President Joe Biden unraveled the majority of the measures former President Donald Trump had put in place to curb encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border. That has left border states like Texas struggling to handle the burdens that come with the flood of migrants entering the country illegally. While border enforcement and deportations fall under federal jurisdiction,…

Out of more than 100,000 people on the organ transplant waitlist, more than 88,000 are waiting for a kidney, so the need for kidneys is urgent, experts…

Anthony Mackie is a “truck guy”. “I drive a big Ford with a lift kit and big tyres. I am not a speed guy,” he tells BBC Newsbeat. “I barely ever go over 25 miles an hour. I’m the guy driving and people drive past me and flip me off because I’m going too slow.” That might be a surprise to anyone who’s seen the trailer for his latest show, Twisted Metal, which features his character pulling doughnuts in a sports car inside an abandoned mall.
