"On April 24, Elon Musk's $9 billion neurotechnology company falsely self-certified as a "small disadvantaged business" (SDB) on a federal filing, a designation that qualifies the company for preferential treatment as part of a racial and ethnic diversity initiative.

The SDB designation can also only be legally claimed by companies owned by "economically disadvantaged individuals."

Neuralink, which is developing implantable brain-computer interfaces, registered with the government as an SDB while Musk leveraged his position at the White House to cut federal funding for diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.

The SDB designation is clearly defined by the Small Business Administration and in federal regulations. A SDB must be "unconditionally and directly" majority-owned (51%) by a member of a socially and economically disadvantaged group, meaning a demographic "subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias."

Even if a business clears that hurdle, not all are eligible for the designation. To be considered an SDB, the company must also be majority-owned by an "economically disadvantaged individual."

Another breathless puff-piece for the Singularity is near cult — this time from Popular Mechanics. Ray Kurzweil reckons we'll merge with AI by 2045, transcend biology, live forever... etc etc . The same techno prophecy peddled for decades, repackaged as inevitability.
Meanwhile, the real threats of AI, mass surveillance, algorithmic control, synthetic media, weaponised misinformation aren't mentioned.
This isn’t a prophecy. It's a billionaire's fantasy masquerading as science.
