Not necessarily a neuralink specifically, just any genre or type of cybernetic implants, if they were or will become available. I’m super hesitant on anything interfacing with my brain so I’d probably stay organic, except like if I lost my eyesight or hearing.

    I really wonder about the blindness one. Cameras are simple now, we just need a way to feed the information into the brain. It doesn’t need to be anything as fancy as an eyeball, just glasses with a camera.

      It’s been done. There are some people with cybernetic optical implants which give limited vision.

      The company that did this went bankrupt, and a patent troll bought the patent. The implants are now rotting away inside the heads of the original test subjects, and no doctor knows how to remove them because the procedure is also part of the patent.
