Me: That's cool, but why would you need that? What are the benefits of this?

Some dude who gets paid a few orders of magnitude more than me: “This is an exciting step forward in flexible semiconductor technology. Enabling an open-standard, non-silicon 32-bit microprocessor will democratise access to computing, unlocking emerging applications while opening the door to sub-dollar compute.“

I could use it to control embed string lights in my sweater.
