A simple, but LONG, Neuralink explanation here:

Science seriously suggest that the brain taps into quantum physics to process our thoughts so any conventional computing system is only going to slow down the process not speed it up.
Dan Lewis
@Triring - maybe so, but isn't his point that such a connection would be much faster than our current means of communication? (speech, typing)

I think it would be great if Elon Musk could sell cars profitably. That is a trick he cannot seem to master.

Brain hacking.

Certainly linking tech to biology is inevitable and likely good. Though musk seems to have some incorrect information. A single human brain is 1000s of times faster than the power of every computer combined. Whoever Musk is talking too seems to forget the human brain is simultaneously doing millions of computations to not only do the, slow interface of speech but also keep that human body, alive, balanced, keeping the 5 senses processing thousands of bits of information a millisecond, while contemplating and speaking. Also, just as with anything, two humans an learn to interact so completely, it takes a mere glance to conver complex thoughts and humans can learn so much about another, they don't have to communication as one, would know the others thoughts based on stimulus. Another not quite right fact is this magical godlike machine learning. That will never be true as long as computers remain based on binary math. Machine learning doesn't learn, it merely looks, for repetition. On it's own it could not beat a field mouse in learning something new. Artificial intelligence is still only artificial. Algorithms around already known information and rules is not the, same as a human being able to construct the information with minimal inp

Really? Where are you getting this information from?
