Science Corp founder Max Hodak discusses how brain-computer interfaces are arriving faster than anyone realizes. The Neuralink co-founder and former president shares how his company achieved what may be the biggest breakthrough in vision restoration in decades, enabling 80% of blind patients to read again with a tiny retinal implant smaller than a grain of rice. In this conversation, he explores the near-term commercial path for BCIs through medical applications, the long-term potential for cognitive enhancement and “binding” multiple brains together, and why the industry needs to hit $100 million in revenue to avoid an AI winter-style collapse. He also addresses the practical and ethical questions around hacking, enhancement, and whether he’d implant his own future

Recorded at a Playground #sponsored StrictlyVC Palo Alto, this conversation explores the bleeding edge of neurotechnology and Hodak’s vision for a dramatically different 2035.
