Trigger Warning. Existential Material ahead. If you have a history of mental illness it is discouraged to read this potentially challenging material. proceed at your own risk, reading with caution. THIS IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. _____________________________________________________________________ Lets warm everybody up for this strange tale, Here's article about an AI watching Ridley Scott's Philip K. Dick masterpiece, "Bladerunner" http://www.vox.com/2016/6/1/11787262/blade-runner-neural-network-encoding?utm_campaign=vox&utm_content=article%3Afixed&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter (if you want more stuff like that, check out the DeepDream of Fear and Loathing. down below..) So. Elon Musk has a rule about hottubbing. No Simulation Theory Talk allowed. something to keep in mind if I ever use my hottub, I'ma break that rule. http://www.vox.com/2016/6/3/11837888/simulation-problem Oddly enough, the idea of wether or not we are living in a simulation has been getting more traction in various incarnations. from Classics like the Truman Show, to The Matrix Trilogy... now with recent films like the multilayered dreamscapes in "Inception" and adorably crude cartoons showcasing multiverse dimensions in "Rick and Morty"; Mainstream has now been exposed to these ideas with enough familiarity they've taken on a new Buzzword quality. Unlike other buzzwords, some of the worlds best theoretical physisists are taking them pretty seriously. Neil deGrasse Tyson has been known to squirm at the thought and seek grounding validation from his colleagues in an attempt to feel comforted in his realness when talking about simulation theory. LOL In his subtle clowning he seeks to comfort us vicariously. The following stream of videos is a romp through various levels of potential realities, future applications, and interesting experiments. If you needed any more science action, heres a TED talk where this guy is really gonna try and convince you, watch at your own discretion :3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Chfoo9NBEow and some quantum superimposed experiment stuff from 2010: http://www.nature.com/news/2010/100317/full/news.2010.130.html NOW FOR THE SPOONS. The spoons have become a funny pun to me through this and their other metaphorical use regarding how much emotional/physical bandwidth people have to spare. Spoon pasties. I need say no more. My dear friend Tea and I love to talk about the future when people will be able to stream their trips and dreams. This vid is so oldschool meow, but its what comes to mind when I think about what dreamscape VR streaming would be like. Warning, unhappy cat having its brain activity looked at. check out how it feline-pomorphized the human face at 1:18 As you can see from the super serious above scientific rendering... we have had the image artistically enhanced so you can see the Feline-pormophization of the man's face from the cat's neural output. O_o wow. One of the few films I had to watch thrice to really grok what happened. The Congress and one of the more important conceptually to me in the past few years. Bonus AR short film:
