Neuralink Co-Founder: “We’re Gonna Need a Better Term Than ‘Video Game‘”

With powerful engines, near-photorealistic graphics, and the ability to build incredible, immersive worlds, it’s hard to imagine what the next big technological advance in gaming might be.
Based on a recent tweet by Neuralink co-founder and President Max Hodak, the word might not even apply. In it, he hinted — vaguely, to be fair — that whatever forms of entertainment get programmed into neural implants and brain-computer interfaces will represent a paradigm shift that moves beyond the current terminology.
“We’re gonna need a better term than ‘video game’ once we start programming for more of the sensorium,” Hodak tweeted.
