AI-generated videos to maximally drive a target brain region

WOW! Cant wait to tell to future generations that we had voluntarily made these algorithms to manipulate and influence our own brains

We are really getting to the point where the tech industry must be stopped if humanity is to continue at all, let alone thrive.

This is already happening at scale by the social media feed algorithms. We don't need generated content to accomplish this. In a sea of user created content, plenty of it is already at peak activation.

As others on Telegram have said: automated search for visual superstimuli likely leads to bad outcomes.

Also: one of the V3A animations reminds me loosely of things I saw when I was a kid, at night, shortly before I slept (though my experience then was more circular).

I wonder what Meta could do with a similar technology…

But here we can start also the usual discussion about technology research for the sake of it vs calibration of possible side effects of new research

Personally i think we haven’t solve this problem and thus it’s just a matter of time until we’ll get in a non-going-back point

Reminds me of the parrot https://www.sfsfss.com/stories2/BLIT.htm

Wait, this is with a digital twin only? Not fMRI or webcam based?

"Prime Intellect, I would like you to begin stimulating the neurons of the pleasure center of my brain, one at a time, and remember the ones I report to you as being favorable."

I can't wait until I see AI-generated gambling ads that are specifically created to stimulate my brain the most

Straight out of Echopraxia.

Will be interesting to see how strong the controlling forces can be - enough to make you miss things in direct perception like in the book, or only softer effects further up the cognition layer stack

these videos were disappointing and underwhelming

That's fascinating. I wish the demo videos were longer.

My brain never liked vertical video, shortform content and AI slop.

Is my brain different or am I just a grumpy millenial hipster?
