Recent work highlights the gap between human sensory input (Gbps) and cognitive output (~10 bps). But BCIs could transform "downlink" to the brain via high-bandwidth neural summarizers, bypassing bottlenecks. Could #6G enable human-machine symbiosis? #BCI

The unbearable slowness of being: Why do we live at 10 bits/s?
Zheng and Meister write about the paradoxical slowness of human behavior. Although our senses gather data at 109 bits/s, our overall information throughput is only 10 bits/s. This stark contrast touches on many fundamental aspects of brain function.

Well, if you thought that LLMs progress was stagnating and hitting a wall, think again.
And yes, efficiency metrics are increasingly necessary in AI, and not just in some industries such as telecom.

FT highlighted how excessive reporting obligations in EU regulations stifle innovation. The same issue plagues EU-funded research projects, where scientists spend years justifying dissemination efforts & abstract impacts instead of focusing on breakthroughs.Let's simplify!

Europe wrapped itself in a web of new rules. Can it reverse course?
With Donald Trump promising more deregulation in the US and businesses upset about red tape, the EU is now searching for balance

This article got me thinking: Even if the existential risks won't come from AI itself, they may still come from those humans holding strong beliefs about what AI is or what it deserves.
