So, when we all get computers in our brains, will there be "virus glyphs" that can infect us just by our looking at them?
[–]Shaper_pmp 6 points7 points8 points 10 months ago (1 child)
There already are (warning: memetic hazard).

that's both cool and terrifying.

If this stuff were to be advanced and work as intended, then it would work on our natural brains, no computer-in-the-brain needed.

I am sorry sir I have carefully read the caption and "visually walked" the circuit but I don't get what I should experience here. The tilting seems a normal effect of how I should interpret the 2D projection of a 3D object. It's been 2 days that I wrap my mind around it and I feel stupid I can't figure out. Could you help me? Thanks!!

I'm just saying that with a computer in our brains, the person creating the virus would understand the architecture of the system it's intended to run on. Not the same with natural brains.

Wow! Very cool concept!!

Woah, that not gate is very trippy. I’m still a little confused on how to progress from there, at the “and” gate.
I can see the 0s and 1s popping in and out as I desire, I can get both to pop out but not to pop in.

Interesting concept - I think the primary limitation here conceptually is that a viewer doesn't actually have to look for perspective/tilt to view the image. Kind of along the lines of hypnotism - a strong willed adversary can recognize a hypnotism attempt on their own terms. Also, in terms of "virus glyphs" and the Snowcrash dream, there's no clear connection (and possibly many limitations) between perspective flips and whatever meaningful result one desires in a viewer's mind. That said, very interesting work.

For more, see my super short paper on it... https://www.changizi.com/uploads/8/3/4/4/83445868/viscomp.pdf (Image is excerpted from my earlier book, VISION rEVOLUTION.)

You've got some Unicode stuck on the end of your link. Needs to be this: https://www.changizi.com/uploads/8/3/4/4/83445868/viscomp.pdf

Thanks.
I cannot understand what I have to look at :/ may please someone explain what should happen? I have read the long caption
This is from my earlier book, VISION rEVOLUTION, http://www.amazon.com/Vision-Revolution-Research-Overturns-Everything/dp/1935251767/ref=tmm_pap_title_0

That is fucking amazing.
[–]tristan_shatley 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago (0 children)
At first this seemed extremely boring until I realized blinking instantly changes the tilt for me.
