Imagine where this tech will be in 3-5 years.

Or at our current rate of progress, in 3-5 months even.

Startrek had some great ideas

Pff this is nothing compared to a DMT trip, where you control whats going on with thoughts!

there is no where near enough computing power in the world right now to maintain even 1 second worth of star trek holodeck.

Disagree. AI can do a lot.

you've seen star trek, right? you're aware of what the holodeck is?

True, progress in AI is now measured in months not years.

Give it time ai can create full length feature film, by txt prompts. 10 years or less.

We're well on our way of being able to speak to it at least though. With all the text-to AI's coming out, we've been successfully training it exponentially over the last year. I'm an absolute potato, but I'm even able to make stable diffusion do my bidding, and it's all with natural speech. 3d printers will need a couple of generations to build up to replicators and the rest of the... you know, forming reality in a way you can feel it.

How much computing power will it need and how much available computing power is on Earth as of today?

I’ve never experienced nor spoken with anyone who has experienced a dmt journey in which they were controlling any part of it.

It’s crazy to me that this two experiences feel like are actually becoming closer

There is already retinal level VR and exceptionally real sound tracking in VR. We have 3 senses left and I am sure those last three senses will also be made of 1s and 0s too. This is exactly why I disagree with people who ignore AI is thinking exponentially. We are cooperating with AI on how we will fuse humans and machines together right now. AI would ultimately fail if we didn’t have enough energy so you may as well be with the other section of people who think AI isn’t coming for another 50 years.

Same lol! That’s not really my experience, nor others. I’ve read hundreds of experience, and had many myself.

I have heard of entities telling people the environment is based on how they’re feeling, that there is a connection….but not control of the experience

The Star Trek holodeck is a sci-fi thing which will likely never be as real as shown in the show, but realtime holographics aren't unfeasible.

As far as computing power, AI for the most past has been taking advantage of more general purpose hardware, and half-measure hardware.
Between posits and ASICs, there is new technology already staged for manufacturing which are in the realm of 100 to 1000 times faster.

You need to hold onto your butt, because specialized hardware is going to put the already rapid progress on steroids.

I had lucid dreams in wich I could control 100% of manifesting reality trough intention.

Greetings

For a prediction (a simulation) to be correct, it would implies one knows the value of the exponential, and for knowing this value it would implies one arrived at understanding. Hence the exponential value is knowable. If one assume a prediction is correct before the event happens, it would mean the simulation had enough elements to provide accurate simulation before the event to take place. Hence predictions can be seen as tools for learning, that is to say, experimentation.

Hence ignorance is a cause for a simulation to arise. Hence a simulation is a manifestation of ignorance and the intent to get rid of that ignorance. Hence a prediction can be seen as an auto-test for a system that tries to learn.

Hence, a simulation is a way for an AI system to learn.

Hence, thought-process is a way for a mind to learn. What is the mind ? What is intelligence ? How is it connected ?

I would like to share this piece of work to everyone willing to look at it.

The following link will bring to a conversation between an AI and myself. When two "Human:" are one after the other, it means the AI predicted my response. In every case I respond in return : "Yes", or "This is correct", or "Very good". ​

At some points during my Ayahuasca trip it felt like I could control which memories to view. It felt like my memories were a book and I could just flip through the pages, seeing memories I hadn't thought of in years.

Probably just an illusion though.

>you know, forming reality in a way you can feel it.

Like Geordi's girlfriend program of Leah Brahms

Same. In fact, being able to instantly manifest thought into form via intention/will (that is, not every thought I had instantly manifested, just the ones I put some "command" behind) was the only meaningful difference for me between a fully lucid dream and waking reality. The dreams are that real.

I'd be cool with experiencing that in waking reality too, to some degree at least. I don't want to mess around in other people's lives or anything, but full dive VR would be super nice for my own personal entertainment (assuming that's not already what life is -- my soul just playing some game).

Sort of looks like metas builder bot demo they showed a couple of months ago. Very nice.

Does anyone on r/singularity want to cure brown recluse bites?

Meta did something similar to this earlier this year. In my *opinion* it should have a panel where you can type what you want instead of using voice because that can get tiring. Also I would prefer if you could click, drag, and manipulate objects with your controller instead of telling the AI to move it. Also it would be cool to click on objects and change its properties by entering values.

Instead of a controller how about.... Your hand

you have to start somewhere ... you have to be indulgent
