What it is
A brief post from a personal newsletter. The author proposes an animal speech rig and asks why nobody builds it.
What it says
- The author claims real-time brain imaging works well today, by implant or functional ultrasound.
- The rig puts brain imaging, camera, microphone, speaker and chip on a dog. A server AI predicts its speech.
- The author is surprised nobody works on it. The post calls it more solvable than Mars, AI alignment or quantum computing.
What evidence it gives
The post offers argument only. It cites no studies, prototypes or results. The post is short, so there is little else to report.
Interests and limits
The text gives no author name beyond the newsletter name. Feasibility claims are untested and unsupported by references. The post does not discuss how predictions of speech would be checked.
