Elon Musk unveils Neuralink’s plans for brain-reading ‘threads’ and a robot to insert them

Im hoping some day we'll have a way to allow blind people to connect with cameras so they can see without their eyes. Like what Wallace does in Blade Runner 2049.

Oh I'm sure this, along with many other enhancements will be all but guaranteed in the not too distant future. Then again, if nanobots are ever pushed to what I imagine they're capable of, peoples eyesight, motor skills, hearing and everything else will be able to be repaired, thus there wont be any need for cybernetic enhancements.

The future has the potential to be both scary, and wonderful at the same time.

I can't imagine it being "not too distant". It'll take years to find out what kind of health effects this kind of procedure would have on a person's brain.
