Part 3/16:
Humans produce less than one bit of output per second—an astonishingly low rate considering our cognitive complexity. For an entire day comprising 86,400 seconds, our expressive capacity equates to roughly 86,400 bits of data, a minuscule amount when contrasted with computer processing speeds. Musk illustrated this gap by noting how slow our fingers are at tapping out messages, whereas devices like smartphones attempt to interpret our intentions through minimal input signals. This mismatch hampers efficient human-machine interaction and underscores the potential for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) to unlock vastly greater communication bandwidth.
