Neuralink enables those who have lost the ability to speak to speak again
Last night I spoke with Brad Smith @ALScyborg, the first person with ALS to have @neuralink implanted. He has his voice back through AI and can even make dad jokes again. Absolutely incredible technology changing lives and bettering humanity. Thank you @elonmusk!

These parents from Dublin just wanted to send a simple, loving video to their daughter for her baby shower. She lives in Australia, far away from home, so her friends asked them to record a short message wishing her well It sounded easy. Just sit down, smile, and speak from the heart But instead, they kept bursting into laughter. Every time they tried to start, the giggles took over. After many bloopers and failed attempts, this was their final try. In between laughing, her mum even said, “Sorry love, we have the chuckles now.” Even though the message was not perfect, it was full of something better. It was real. It was warm. It was them Sometimes the most beautiful memories are not the polished ones. They are messy, laughing, can’t get the words out kind of moments that show pure love.

The homeowner saw on the security camera that a bear was playing on the outdoor swing every day, but couldn't get on. So he had a bigger swing built, and this was the result.

A family lost their dog for several days and searched for him using drones. What they discovered left them speechless...the dog had made friends with a family of bears.

War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal. No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fear of children, or stolen futures. May diplomacy silence the weapons! May nations chart their futures with works of peace, not with violence and bloodstained conflicts!
