Definitely getting into some black mirror shit here

This is some real torment nexus type shit but I don't believe for a second this is really more efficient, not to mention reliability

Neurons on their own are not a human brain though, our cognitive processes stem from neural structures in the brain. This would be a completely different arrangement, and it wouldn't be a human mind any more than an LLM is. In terms of efficiency, it would almost certainly do better on many tasks, and biological structures are notoriously resilient. So, I'd actually expect this to be more reliable rather than less.

Star trek voyager bio-neural gel packs?

good thing we're too far away from the delta quadrant to get their cheese. lol

Human neurons? It's not AI then, Adeptus Mechanicus approves.
