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 won 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.
