Neuralink pretrains decoders on 50,000+ hours of neural data—dataset may be the real moat

Neuralink is pretraining AI on 50,000+ hours of neural recordings, aiming to build a foundation model that learns from many brains and adapts to individuals instead of training a decoder from scratch per patient—potentially a flywheel where more patients mean more data and better models. Commenters argue the decoder pretrained on 50,000 hours shows the dataset, not the implant, may ultimately be Neuralink's moat.
