Weren't those surgical complications? Obviously it's dangerously invasive and will need to reach for pacemaker levels of safety. Animal testing, important for getting there.

Eh, I expect something similar to what we were doing with cats in the early 2010s. Low resolution (it was like 12x12 for the visual cortex in cats back then) recording/playback of increasingly recognizable patterns.

More of a Fitbit-for-your-brain than an FIVR machine. Just a very important step toward it.

Absolute pussies. I mean, sounds good.

Here I thought you were gonna make the point that even total ice loss means sea level rise an order of magnitude more distant in time than these technologies.

World's best, huh.

Tencent ponied up most of the investment in 2019, but as far as I can tell they overall have 5%.

Yeah, that may be an important point here actually. I'm reminded of how the imagery we are able to currently read from a live brain was about 12x12 last I checked, and dreams themselves are essentially upscaled interpretations of low resolution noise already.

The warp stirs and the Eye opens, brother.

This rate of software innovation is incredible.

Little did we know the last 10 years or so of GPUs have been such untapped genies sitting in our PCs.

Oh I know that much, my PC is burning it up daily. But I mean for instance the now heavily used stable-diffusion-webui uses code from the NovelAI leak, right? Creating a big reason that so many people have easy access at this moment.

Granted I may be garbling memories here, the last couple months have moved fast.

I think we'll have to hope for the sort of leaks we've seen with Stable Diffusion. Otherwise they're undoubtedly gonna want to run a tactically restricted instance with content fully owned and monitored by them, and then license out to big bidders.

It continues to arrest me how dreamlike AI imagery is. Much, much closer to the dreaming experience than any other media has ever accomplished.
