The post earier today of a paper reconstructing language from brain recordings made me really think we won't even need language eventually.

One of the examples they showed was of a person watching an animated short story without any language being used. Still, the AI had a fairly well understanding of what was going on only from the persons fMRI recordings.

Basically, you'll just think of what you want and the AI will know what you mean, and it's gonna be much more powerful than language. If language has enabled our species to advance this far, I can't even begin to imagine how the future is gonna look like when we finally lift all limitations of languages.

Makes me think meditation and focused thought will be the superpower of the future.

indeed, you'll only be limited by your imagination is what I think. Althought this surely can be improved beyond what we know nowadays by enhancing our neocortex.

My understanding is that this IS a superpower of the afterlife, which is just another simulation of sorts with a less dense rule set and physics. We incarnate here to train for bigger and better experiences in other reality systems.

Well you're assuming the existence of an afterlife. Evidence is questionable.

Why do you think Elon is pushing Neuralink?

Elon explains a really simple reason. He believes people using a smartphone is a cyborg as the smartphone is the extension to the human form but it's not apparent because, as he explains, the communication bandwidth between the human form and the machine is limited by how fast you type on the keyboard, so by figuring this bottleneck, Elon explains it why Neuralink will be the answer. Basically, it's a fast communication with huge bandwidth between our human form and the machine, allowing us to stream our thoughts, visuals, ideas and commands to the machine. For safety reasons, the machine may only respond to us via AR glasses and headsets, as to not interfere directly with our brain signals.

So what he wants to do exactly is each person will have a fast AI computer with them linked to the brain wired or wirelessly to the Neuralink brain implant, so basically, everyone has all the abilities to do everything, from being fluent in all world languages to generating arts, designing 3D models, fixing cars, and so on.

Right up until the AI learns to use AR glasses, sounds as a tachydidachy tool and develops a brain "programming language" for meatcicles.

Deductive telepathy. The AI will eventually read you like a book.

Thinking itself is still a form of langauage. We call it telekinesis. Only difference now is that it’s more faster, automatic, and clear to see the other entities pov. I’m going to ball tf out in vr.

It's called telepathy, and while you can think about sentences and thus language, we're also capable of thoughts that can't be described by language. You could call this a form of "language" as well, sure, but it's nothing like natural languages is what I'm talking about.

That too. Telekinesis will be enabled in VR too tho remember that. I think they are both languages in their own nature. They are tunable via the magic 3, energy, frequencies and vibrations. This is all simulated btw, we are already gods. Bees, ants and other species communicate in a mindhive like manner which can be identified as either or (telepathy and telekinesis).
