That led to long delays and meant many accepted students couldn't get appointments at embassies or consulates in time for the start of the fall semester.

"Neuralink was like a gift from God"
Powerful words from P7.
I had the privilege of interviewing Jake Schneider, Neuralink's 7th patient, about what life is like now having a Neuralink brain implant for 3 months.
https://x.com/esherifftv/status/1968407702184628586#m
Jake was diagnosed with ALS a few years ago and says before Neuralink, he felt overcome by hopelessness due to his condition.
He says now neuralink not only enhances his quality of life, but working with the team gives him a sense of purpose. And his son says his dad has superpowers now with his brain chip
