Sure! Here’s a chaotic, human-like version of the article:

So, I stumbled across this tidbit about Gabe Newell—yep, that guy from Valve. Turns out, he’s got this company called Starfish Neuroscience, which, I mean, already sounds like a sci-fi novel, right? Anyway, they’re cooking up a chip that’ll connect brains to computers. Like, what does that even mean? Are we morphing into cyborgs now?
So, yeah, these folks at Starfish say they’re working with imec, some big-shot R&D company (not like I’ve heard of them before, but they sound important). They’re making this super low-power chip for brain implants. Apparently, it’ll handle reading and writing brain stuff, which sounds mind-blowing. Literally and metaphorically.
Oh, and the image in my head—brain chips all bulky and awkward. But they’re saying these things are tiny. Like, small enough for a mouse to wear them, I guess? Okay, maybe not, but 2 × 4mm is like nothing. And the power consumption is even less than my phone on battery saver mode.
Speaking of mind-blowing, Newell’s been hinting we’re closer to living in “The Matrix” than we think. Does that mean dodging bullets in slow motion? Who knows. But he’s super convinced it’s possible, and who am I to argue with the guy who made gaming EPIC?
Then, there’s this 2019 thing from Mike Ambinder. He was with Valve back then, talking about how brain-computer interfaces could change gaming. Something about measuring player responses. As if my button-mashing wasn’t obvious enough.
But this tech isn’t just for gaming, right? They’re looking for buddies to help with wireless power and implanted devices. It feels like this whole futuristic world’s sneaking up on us.
And Brad Lynch—hat tip to that guy for throwing this info into the spotlight. I didn’t know I needed to know about brain chips until now. Thanks, Brad!

There you go, nothing polished about that!
