There is a reason why NVIDIA is investing in brain/computer interfaces. Dustin (@r0ck3t23) Elon Musk just declared the human eye optional. Not improved. Not repaired. Not reconstructed. Optional. Musk: "Blindsight will enable those who have total loss of vision to be able to see again." That alone would be historic. Musk: "Including if they have lost their eyes, or the optic nerve." Eyes gone. Nerve gone. The entire optical pipeline physically missing from the skull. And the solution is not to rebuild what broke. It is to skip it entirely and wire synthetic signal straight into the visual cortex. Every surgery ever performed has tried to restore original hardware to factory condition. Neuralink does not restore. Neuralink treats the biological organ as optional infrastructure. Eye is gone. You do not rebuild the eye. You route around it. You stream raw visual data into the brain and let the cortex do what it was always doing anyway. Processing signal. Your eye never saw anything. Your brain saw. The eye was the middleman. It captured a narrow band of electromagnetic radiation and shipped it to the visual cortex. That is where the image was actually built. Neuralink is firing the middleman. Musk: "Maybe have never seen, were even blind from birth." A person who has never perceived a single photon of light. Given vision for the first time. Not through healing. Through hardware. And then Musk said the part that should rewire how you think about being human. Musk: "You can see in radar, you can see in infrared, ultraviolet." This is where it crosses from medical device to species upgrade. The human eye processes roughly 0.0035% of the electromagnetic spectrum. You are walking through [Translated from EN to English]
