Ex-Kernel CEO/CTO joins BCI startup Sabi to build a thought-to-text wearable beanie

Ryan Field, former CEO/CTO of Kernel (Bryan Johnson's heavily funded non-invasive brain-helmet company), has left to join BCI startup Sabi, backed by Khosla Ventures.
Sabi is building a beanie-style wearable that can essentially read your thoughts, letting you "think" prompts to your AI agent. The argument: the top exec of the most funded non-invasive helmet company jumping to a consumer thought-to-text wearable suggests the consumer BCI inflection point is arriving faster than expected.
