But there is another way - instead of making and then inserting the electrodes into the brain, why can’t we grow them? Biohybrid neural interfaces offer better integration with the brain and potentially better long-term stability.

The biohybrid approach is one I’m curious to see how will it develop. I find the idea of creating a biological neural interface that grows with us fascinating.

Yes, yes! The disgusting biopunk future inches ever closer! Instead of "brain chips" you'll graft new lab grown organs into your body. A purpose-grown artificial symbiote, like an absorbed twin, will live within you, communing through your nervous system to expand your mental capabilities. You will speak to machines through a slimey umbilicus, like in eXtistenZ or Cruelty Squad. The future is now!
