Argues human cognition is endlessly plastic and capable of accommodating direct neural interfaces; the path to coexistence with AI runs through extending biological cognition rather than competing with silicon.

The human brain is livewired, it is not a fixed organ. We will integrate with AI not by competing with it but by absorbing its capacities through new sensory and motor channels.

Argues consumer-grade non-invasive brain imaging will give humans direct cognitive interfaces with computers and AI within a decade; positions Openwater as building that substrate.

Non-invasive brain imaging at consumer-device cost is the bridge between AI and biology. We will see the brain in action and turn that into actionable, sharable signal.
