This already describes our base experience of "reality". It's a predictive sensory hallucination.
- entontoent 4mo agoYeah, this is how I feel. "Reality" is already heavily mediated. Why are people so enraged that a person might want to mediate or enhance it further? Often lately the same people who claim they value "creativity" and "art" seem to believe the the only valid forms of creative and artistic expression are the ones that existed when they were born. Everything else is degenerate art. I guess we've been here historically, though :/
- Affric 4mo agoI skilfully use computers to make art every day. I also can identify a bird by myself, have my own sense of timing and rhythm, and can figure out things about a person myself. It doesn’t augment reality, it simply puts a display on your face, like the article says.
