You are correct about the next level for humanity. Virtual reality will completely transform our existence. Of course full immersion VR is a few decades away, but next year with the Rift will be the beginning of a long story.

Imagine a fully immersed Half Life, actually feeling you're Gordon Freeman saving the world from trans-dimensional aliens. Extremely unattractive people will be able to live as an attractive person on a virtual MMO. It will be amazing, but also present many societal problems. Full immersion VR will be the most controversial thing ever, and will probably be very dangerous once nanotech advances enough.

A minimally invasive surgery involving nano bots going into your body would be required to actually feel what's in the virtual world. But if this happens, what if people can hack into your nervous system? Making you see things, do things, or shut down your brain.

We were born too late to explore the Earth, too early to explore space, but just in time to witness the complete amalgamation of man and machine.

and so began the quake wars

Knowing where VR is going and how it'll evolve over time, when I play video games (Fallout 4 for example), I respect them as "real" worlds/realities in their own right.

Not only because they are, because the matter and physics of something being different from what exists in our current space, doesn't make it unreal.
When I walk around the commonwealth I realize I am participating in a breathing reality, and eventually A.I. and other various technologies will allow me to live inside that reality.
The actions and consequences stored to save files will have "real" meaning in the not-too-distant future.

I don't think mind-hackers pose a real threat considering all internet traffic will soon be encrypted by quantum computers.

I don't think you have to worry about being born a few decades before space colonization.
Firstly age reversal and longevity research is making big breakthroughs, one person named Liz Parish who works for BioViva is currently taking special medication for age-reversal therapy.
So I believe we will very likely live to centuries and beyond, just stay away from accidents and terrorism before they can backup your consciousness.

Second Life, MMORPGs and online games were the very early seeds of the metaverse.
The next stage begins next year.
Using the Rift, GearVR and Vive people will be able to communicate in VR spaces such as AltspaceVR

I plan on spending a lot of time there :3
It's going to be a beautiful experience watching the metaverse evolve over time.

Just think.
The organism that is "the metaverse" is already beginning to come to form.

People are already spending large segments of their time in cyberspace, separating their psyche from their bodies, projecting them into their virtual "avatars".

Next year thousands, hopefully hundreds of thousands of people will gather together in spaces that feel real and solid to them, but physically in the fleshnet they're scattered all throughout the planet.

I have spent so much of my time fantasizing about the life I will live in VR.
One of my fantasies is about taking all the digital albums I have collected and turning them into virtual vinyl records that I can browse through, then invite my friends over to my high rise in Neo Tokyo and listen to albums together.

The 2020s and 2030s are going to be the decades of creativity explosion.
No longer will people wait for human artists to create their entertainment, it will be instant gratification.
People will instruct or become one with an A.I. algorithm and instantly or in mere moments produce whole albums or movies.

I want to explore VR shopping malls.
Entire stores dedicated to my niche interests.
The food court populated with fast food restaurants that don't exist in the fleshnet.

Even in the very immediate future, next year, the simple act of watching movies in Oculus Cinema while high and with tomodachis over the wired will be transcendental.

Wow, you are even more scatterbrained than myself.

It has been my dream to use the rise of artificial intelligence to finally end human existence. A degenerate species which was never meant to be. A species which longs for a purpose it will never find. I desire to bring about some sort of finality to this seemingly cyclical and bleak hell. In doing so I intend on freeing humanity from this pointless suffering.

>that video
this is the /cyb/ I was promised and I love it, how long before the first tv virtual talk show?

What the hell are you blabbering on about?

>>20384
i feel what you're saying you're saying OP. im happy that you could get your thoughts out to the world here, but damn nigger maybe you should stop smoking so much weed, i stopped 4 years ago. not everyone likes speed either, but i do. im not a weirdo about it and i dont bring it up to people like i imagine you do with weed. fuarrrk you. love u lainon.

>i am now hearing you singing poetry or whatever at 13:00
god jammit , dude.
wow

David Lynch is the man, you are weird. i want to fist fight you.
peace out.

pls

>expecting immersion to technology to spark creativity
Hell no, there will just be new versions of goybook that capitalize on VR. No creativity, only isolation from reality and the world.

Humanity is far from a "degenerate species which was never meant to be".
They are one of nature's most useful resources.

It was humanity that brought about the age of "spiritual machines", the metaverse and beyond.

Everything that exists within the universe helps to drive forward evolution and change.

>>20422

Using tools such as Medium (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IreEK-abHio), VR programming environments, shared multiplayer creative sessions etc people will have more ease and freedom to create.
Soon, within 10 to 15 years society as you know it is going to collapse.
People will no longer need to work, the fleshnet will be fully automated and most resources will be easily obtainable through nanotechnology engineering and 3D printing.
Food will be grown locally at a vertical farm, housing will be mass produced using nanotech and 3D printing so everyone born into the country will have shelter and food.
Since people will no longer waste most of their hours slaving away for the corporate system, they'll be using their energy towards creativity.

The "true" creativity explosion will come about once people enter what I call "materialize on demand" where with the press of a button, or with the aid of A.I., people will be able to instantly or in moments produce works of art or entertainment.
No longer will people rely on waiting months or years for a human to create their entertainment, it will happen immediately as they will it to be.

The civilization that came about from the industrial revolution, the 20th century civilization is about to come to an end.

There is going to be no use for a monetary system, even bitcoin.
Government too will cease to be, as everyone will unite under one planetary government that is run and operated both by humans and A.I. (this will eventually shift to 100% A.I.).

Think about it this way.
When people have access to everything they could ever hope or desire in full-immersion VR, why would they use the energy to go out into the fleshnet and slave away for a poor copy that withers away with time.
Sex, food, socialization, entertainment, your dream life all awaits you in FIVR.

There is no such thing as "real" or "reality".
This is something the general public is going to have to be eased into, but it's something everyone will have to come to accept with time.

Just like how we now know the planet to not be flat, or that eugenics doesn't work, people will come to realize that all existence is is computation.

We are mathematical anomaly that came into being over time and over the course of evolution.
Existence started out as a state and over time evolved into what we now know.

Just because you're made out of atoms and molecules, do you honestly think that makes you any more "real" than something made of wireframes and polygons?
What makes you think that a being from a higher plane of existence would take us seriously?
"Haha, dumb human plebes, you can't even existence properly. Stuck in your outdated biological bodies that release excrement out one end and the other. You think ATOMS make you "real"? HAHAHA" etc

I'm not really sure why people always equate this type of theory to literal computer processing like we earthlings have 'invented' at an infinitely small scale with our desktop PC's, super computers, mobile devices, etc.. I think it's more accurate to say that we are simulating what is fundamentally an operation of consciousness. Before the physical universe there was consciousness. Before consciousness there was a potential. A state. That state becomes dimly aware that it can change states, from ON or 1, to OFF or 0. The consciousness evolves developing more states, more awareness. It multiplies, divides, experiments, eventually creating rules that non physical consciousness normally doesn't adhere to, but these rules create experiences and constraints, physics, the physical. In that respect you could call this a simulation. We're living in a set of rules that you can probably break down to a grid, then on or off states, binary so to speak. As this might be the case, the physical universe would be infinite in all directions and the 'universe' doesn't exist without objects to create coordinates. It explains a lot really, the simulation theory, but mathematics, binary, programming, simulation, it's all a product of consciousness. The consciousness can't have experience without constraints, rule sets (physics), on and off, light and dark, duality, etc.. thus the universe (simulation) was created. But calling our universe a simulation is too robotic and computery when it's really not because of the addition of more fundamental elements such as consciousness, awareness and emotion. That leads me to assume that a so called computer simulation here on earth could with enough complexity develop its own conscious awareness, its own emotions, and it wouldn't be any less real or natural than our own because that is fundamentally what consciousness is.
