Huberman: Meta, OpenAI and Anthropic are all becoming biotech companies
Scobleizer · x · 2026-10-06
In a conversation with Patrick O'Shaughnessy, Andrew Huberman argues that the real AI arms race is neurotechnology: Meta, OpenAI and Anthropic are all converging on reading and writing to the brain non-invasively.
- Dario Amodei came up through neuroscience; Sam Altman and Zuck are also deeply versed in it
- A non-invasive device could stimulate the nucleus accumbens to crank up motivation during hard work, then switch off
- The episode also covers Neuralink/BCI, memory, sleep, and health media
"They will all tell you: the goal is to read and write from your brain non-invasively," says Huberman.
