# CyborgsLife

> Market watch on AI, physical AI and brain-computer interfaces — the technologies carrying us toward cybernetic life.

Two kinds of content:

- **Capsules** — short dispatches on a single development, each citing its primary sources.
- **Articles** — long-form pieces, authored rather than curated.
