James Craig and Louis Giles’ new film “Code Is Law” examines infamous crypto hacks and the moral reckoning used by the perpetrators. “A world where ‘the market’ runs free and the ‘evil’ of government is defeated would be, for them, a world of perfect freedom.” — Lawrence Lessig, Code: Version 2.0 Recently, I got the chance to watch a preview of James Craig’s upcoming documentary “Code is Law.” The film, which debuts on Oct. 21 on Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video, and YouTube Movies, tells two distinct but related stories of crypto hacks: the people involved and the ethos of the perpetrators.

Brain-computer interfaces like Neuralink concentrate mental control in corporate hands. Decentralized science offers shared governance over neural data. Opinion by: Andreas Melhede, co-founder of Elata Biosciences Neuralink’s first-ever brain implant is turning science fiction into reality. It’s a coin-sized device with hair-thin electrode threads that a surgical robot weaves into the brain’s cortex to read and send neuron signals. These signals are then transmitted wirelessly to a computer, allowing the person wearing the implant to perform actions without needing to move. Elon Musk, Neuralink’s founder, once highlighted that the company will “give people superpowers.” Silicon Valley’s vision of a direct brain-computer interface (BCI) sounds exciting. Designed to help people with severe paralysis, Neuralink’s implant allows people to move a cursor, type, or even control a robotic limb using their thoughts alone. Read more
