the only development (and it wasnt invented by neuralink) is flexible and smaller electrodes seem to take longer for scarring to take over than larger and more rigid ones. Right now, it seems that their only path is to help people with severe disabilities get better quality of life for a few years, which many people might take.

I've worked with Deep Brain Stimulation and other cranial implants before. Mostly on the hardware side and the implantation side.

I want to stress that giving a person a few years is a big deal. It's not something to scoff at. Even a few months can really help someone out.
