      My point about reading already maxing out our understanding bandwidth is more precisely this: our visual system has enormous data bandwidth, that far surpasses the rate at which we can make sense of that data.https://twitter.com/fchollet/status/1042493581707993088 …

      And information intake (orders of magnitude harder to pull off) most definitely couldn't be any faster than plain reading. Our current 5,000 year-old tech is already maxing out our understanding bandwidth. Which is evident in the fact that speed reading simply doesn't work

      And that's *after* we spent a lifetime tuning most of our brain to make sense of that data stream. You can slightly increase our rate of information intake with a better visual interface (better app design). But a higher-bandwidth neural data transfer link would be useless

      It's not hard to imagine that preprocessing into some representation can make better use of the same bandwidth

      That's already a thing, at least partially: computers will process data and then show you some higher-level representation (text, visual, etc) so you don't have to make sense of the raw data yourself. It's an *application*, not at all an interface concern.

      A neural interface does not achieve any improvement towards the above over what we have, what we need is a smarter *application*.

          Without neural interface (or similarly advanced optical interface) there is no way for any application to perform rich realtime pre processing

          No computer has access to all your sensory input, nor do most people carry around hard keyboards capable of delivering 300 apm

          A smarter application would need to be able to present knowledge at a higher level of abstraction that was specifically matched to the way that your memory has compressed and abstracted all of your previous experiences, then you would simply know more as if you already knew it.

          If there is no benefit in having info-processing modules embedded in the neural substrate, then why do people learn languages, when there's Google translate. Or why do people memorize anything, when there are computers?

          Why even open your eyes when a computer can now read to you what's in front of you?
