Q: What do you say when someone asks you an algebra problem but you don't know the answer?
A: It's not my field.
Q: What should you do when you have a public-key cryptography problem but your colleagues can't help you?
A: Try a different group.
One thing that really reminds me how far we have to go with VR technology is a night like tonight - 20 degrees F outside. Absolutely frigid. I can't imagine a feasible technological solution for full body programmable variable thermoperception. And the haptics for feeling wind gusts? How would you even do that?

A nervous DDR4 RDIMM walks into a bar. Bartender asks what's wrong. "I'm okay, just feeling a bit off."
You can tell that semiotics is a bullshit field of study because they don't have a single, easily recognizable symbol to represent it

autosurveillant using image diffusion for dream journaling is a brilliant idea and I'm salty I didn't come up with it first
might even be useful for interactively aiding recall due to the way these systems hallucinate upon ambiguity
this future of machine-assisted cognition heralds a great Rewinding of the Mind
Forgive me for talking about collective abstractions, but I think there's a kurzweil shaped hole in the global hivemind right now - no easily available vision for how people spiritually exist in harmony with extreme high tech systems like artificial intelligence, virtual realities, and extreme automation.
I feel like there should be a handful of mainstream media extropian narratives as an antidote to the current vibe. What might those look like, if one were to make them?
I love my ridiculous shower thoughts. Was contemplating phenomenal consciousness and reference frames, only to be hit with the realization that "a modern Descartes' evil demon would just be a perfect VR headset"
and a second later was like
'congrats on independently rediscovering The Matrix, JC'
So apparently MIT did sub-millimeter body tracking using magnet implants. Their application is for prosthetics but it could be useful for lots of other things, like Virtual Reality
