I thought it was kind of interesting. It's a guy who left Neuralink and is now doing a YC startup with a 2mm x 30nm chip that goes behind the retina and gives instant vision restoration in people where the retina wasn't working.

>In the history of artificial vision, this represents a new era. Blind patients are actually able to have meaningful central vision restoration, which has never been done before.

says the Moorfields / UCL guy. Apparently the surgery was done at Moorfields where I had them poking things in my eye while drugged up on fentanyl a couple of years ago to fix a hole in my retina.
