Domingos: Neuralink's killer app is human brains providing compute cycles for AI
pmddomingos · x · 2026-10-11
AI researcher Pedro Domingos argued that Neuralink's killer app would be human brains providing compute cycles for AI — spectacularly energy-efficient, and enabling anyone to become a millionaire. The take reads as part satire, part big-picture prediction about brain-computer interfaces meeting AI compute demands.
