when we have this brain computer interface, you'll be able to upload your memories. And so you talk about this idea of recording your whole life through a pendant. Well, eventually you'll be able to record your whole life based on just through your eyeballs. And you know, you'd be able to upload, in theory, a first person view of whatever conversation you've been in, you know? And so there's a certain look, this is pretty far off, but there is maybe a certain inevitability to that.View on YouTube
As of November 30, 2025, no brain–computer interface (BCI) or ocular-neural system exists that can record and later upload a person’s full, first-person, memory-like visual record of their experiences as a persistent, searchable life log.
Current state of the field:
- Elon Musk’s Neuralink and similar invasive BCIs are in very early human trials aimed at restoring function (e.g., helping paralyzed patients control cursors or prosthetics), not recording or replaying naturalistic memories or continuous first-person video of life experiences.
- Research BCIs can decode limited aspects of visual perception or imagined speech in constrained lab settings, typically using fMRI or implanted electrodes, and only over short time windows with heavy preprocessing. They do not approximate a full-life DVR of experiences or conversations.
The predictor explicitly framed this as “pretty far off” and effectively multi-decade. Since only ~1.5 years have elapsed since the prediction (April 2024 → November 2025) and the claimed long-term horizon has clearly not arrived, there is not yet a fair test of whether such a mature, memory-upload BCI will exist.
Therefore, the correct status today is “inconclusive (too early)”: the prediction has definitely not come true yet, but the timeframe the predictor implied has not expired, so it cannot be judged definitively right or wrong.
