This might be useful for online office work, if the headset could be reduced to a pair of ordinary glasses. So instead of workers moving to an expensive city for work, they could live where its cheap and work anywhere on the planet. Otherwise I'm not interested.

If a computer was created that used human brain tissue to think, and DNA as a hard drive would it count as AI?

When the necessities of life are taken care of, some artists will continue making things by hand, because its fun and interesting.

Mass media lost influence. Social media took its place.

Dude... The cat was inside. I turned around for a second, then turned back and it was outside, in a place it could not get to, unless I put it there. I was shocked to see it outside, so I went outside, picked it up, and brought it inside.

What I remember is the shock that something in the world was not in the same place that I left it. This has never happened to me before or since. This is not rocket science. The people in this thread are over thinking it.

*Some* people hallucinate. I don't do recreational drugs, nor do I take prescribed drugs, nor does anyone in my family line have genetic predisposition to it. Hallucination is not something I do, but it might be something you do.

If you seriously believe what you are saying, you would not drive a car, nor cross any road, because you could be hallucinating.

Wikipedia is not a credible source. They used to fail students for using it. Its founder says its been hijacked by politically motivated people who use it to quote each other. But since you like Wikipedia so much here you go:

What is your opinion of scientists trying to prove we live in a simulation? Do you think they are insane?

I didn't say it passed though glass.

Long term memory is unreliable. There was no long term memory involved here.

Thanks. A helpful answer.

Something like this has never happened to me before or since, and this was 4-5 years ago. My cat was near the glass wall. Then I turned around. When I turned back it was on the other side of the glass wall wanting to get back inside. There was no way it could get outside without me opening the door for it, but I did not open the door.

Also the glass wall was not horizontal to my viewpoint, so I could not confuse the cat being on the other side of it. The wall was edge side to me, so I saw the cat on the right where there was carpet and furniture, when I looked back it was outside on the left on concrete. It was broad daylight.

If I had experiences where I lost time and forgot doing things. I would have crashed my car years ago. I have not done that.

Eye witness accounts are good enough for a court of law. If someone says they saw a crime, the lawyers don't automatically question their sanity, unless the witness has a history of it. If the law did that, very few criminals would ever be convicted. This is outside your experience, so you think its crazy. That's okay. Its a normal reaction.

Has anyone seen a glitch in the matrix? I saw one. My cat was inside one moment, then I looked away. When I looked back a few seconds later, it was outside. That was really weird.

Edit:

No point reading the answers here, as they do not answer the question I asked. They are all off topic, except for one that directed me to the Glitch_In_The_Matrix sub.

No its not ignorant. In fact all doomer prophecies rely on the fact we will not progress, but stagnate or regress. However civilizations have regressed and collapsed in the past, so this is a possibility.

BTW

There are people who are working on inventions that pull carbon out of the sky, and are looking for investors.
