When I was in neuroscience I came to the same conclusion. People just keep trying new ways to do information processing which is really easy and fun. Solving the biology and material science problems are fucking hard and high risk, as in, if you try you’ll probably fail. It’s going to be a very long time before these things are solved. Not to criticize because I’m also too cowardly to try tackling those problems for the aforementioned reasons.

I wonder if some kind of wearable fMRI could be used to just avoid the whole thing. Seems like the universal rule of tech is that any insane idea within the laws of physics is eventually possible, but anything to do with biology is 50x harder

If we discover room temperature superconductors this might be in the cards. Lots of exotic stuff becomes possible then but no one knows if it’s possible to have room temperature superconductors.
