Useless
So what if it's flexible? Using modern silicon processes, 4000 transistors take up about 0.000000000012544 square meters. That's less than 1/1000 of the area of ONE of the pixels on the LCD screen you're probably reading this on.
It is already common practice to mount tiny silicon chips with hundreds of thousands of transistors on flexible substrates, using "blob on board" techniques, for a total cost of pennies.
IF, and that's a HUGE if, they can get it to work using standard printing (not lithography) techniques, then it may have some extremely limited usefulness.
Although, in twenty years I think we will have at least the capacity for (though it may be questionable whether the market overlords will allow) truly organic processors.
Consider it high comedy....sincere tragedy....whatever...don't take it personally.
