🚨 ELON MUSK: "Neuralink, where we want to try to solve the bandwidth constraint that humans have. So, because you can imagine, like, even in the most benign scenario where the AI is super friendly and wants to do everything it wants to make you happy, just our rate of communication is too slow.
So, like, the peak human bandwidth is only about 100 bits per second, roughly. And our input bandwidth is much higher because of vision. So there we maybe have, it's a debatable point, but, you know, a megabit per second or a few megabits per second from our eyes, which are, in fact, like cameras. But our output bandwidth is really low, maybe 100 bits per second, whereas computers are communicating at a trillion bits per second.
So, anything we can do to increase the communication speed of humans will improve the, I think, the alignment of humans and machines. Because otherwise, to an AI that is communicating at a terabit a second, talking to a human would be like talking to a tree."
