Imagine your boss telling you it’s so dangerous outside the office that you should not go outside your place of work to get lunch or coffee. That life has been a reality for residents and workers in Oakland, California, where the largest private employer in the city, Kaiser Permanente, issued a memo to workers warning them about the safety risks due to the area’s rampant crime. Crime has surged in Oakland, and many community members don’t believe that the city’s Mayor Sheng Thao or Alameda County’s District Attorney Pam Price are offering meaningful solutions. In fact, there is an effort to recall both of them. On the Rundown, founder of the Neighbors Together Oakland nonprofit Seneca Scott explains how he is fighting to restore safety to his beloved community, what is motivating residents to push for recall efforts, and he details exactly how Oakland became so plagued with crime.
Over the weekend, Neuralink, Elon Musk's neurotechnology company, implanted a brain chip into its first human subject. The company launched in 2016 and aims to "restore autonomy to those with unmet medical needs." Although this is not first-of-its-kind technology, famous scientist Stephen Hawking used a computer to communicate after being paralyzed by ALS. The company decided to move forward with human subject testing despite calls from Congress to investigate reports of negative effects on monkeys. Many believe that with this tech, Musk may be on the brink of a medical breakthrough. Rolfe Winkler, digital health reporter for The Wall Street Journal, joins to talk about how the technology works, how it will help paralyzed individuals, and how Elon Musk plans to advance the technology to compete with artificial intelligence.
