Neuralink is certainly on my radar as a company to watch but I thought it was more in an invite only Ph.D heavy theory stage than a hire and build board stage. The idea to use an acoustic radio for transmission in a mostly water media is very clever even if I worry about the safety margins of the power density involved with transmitting that much data.

While a lot of people on the team have PhDs, I definitely would not describe Neuralink as "PhD heavy theory stage"! The overwhelming emphasis is on building things that work and testing them against reality as quickly as possible. Anyone capable of doing that regardless of credentials is welcome here. To get a better sense of what I mean, check out the interview advice thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Neuralink/comments/70gehm/neuralink...
