The only category that is actually coming true: mind-controlled machines (BrainGate, Neuralink), 800,000 neurons playing Pong, DARPA’s accelerated learning.
Start with the Big Five →Real ‘super-readers’ exist: Kim Peek memorised 12,000 books, Jill Price recalls every day; DARPA is researching accelerated learning; ‘sleep learning’ was shown in 2012 to work on…
