Sam Altman is co-founding a new startup named Merge Labs, aimed at developing brain-to-computer interfaces to compete with Elon Musk's Neuralink. The startup’s valuation is projected to be around $850 million, with potential funding from OpenAI's ventures. Although discussions are reportedly in the early stages and OpenAI hasn't committed yet, Merge Labs could significantly impact the future of technology-human interaction. This rivalry takes place against a backdrop of personal tension between Altman and Musk, indicating Altman's strong interest in advancing this field.
