Sam Altman Ventures into Brain-Computer Interfaces with Noninvasive Tech!

Sam Altman is launching Merge Labs, a brain-computer interface startup, with Caltech's Mikhail Shapiro as a key leader. The startup aims for a noninvasive approach using sound waves, contrasting Neuralink's methods. Merge seeks to raise hundreds of millions from investors, focusing on gene therapy for neural interaction. Altman favors less invasive technology for direct brain communication.
