if u think about it, the parachute is just preemptive heals for one specific type of damage.
#dude im so high right now
i feel like the big reason VR isn't a daily driver device is the headsets are in the way of being like, face-to-face social & present. Like if you just need constant digital collaboration you can get by with a webex machine or spare laptop running zoom + main machine and cloud-enabled sharing tools.
Which I guess makes google glass prescient in retrospect? Like what you really want out of an AR device is a HUD for daily driving, maybe a camera. Everyone reacted poorly to glass 10 years ago; would they still? Probably if google was the mfg, but if they backed off and let apple or someone take the wheel?
because an extreme other option to that is neuralink and i feel like the american healthcare system is (1) not going to cover that and (2) it feels like a real rarity to expect there would be high adoption due to surgery being a largely unpleasant and expensive thing to want to do, especially after the first botch resulting in a persistive vegetative state with familial objection to DNR a la terry schiavo. Neuralink could, via brain projection HUD, actually do a good job at keeping the computer out of the way of social interactions. Shame about its founder being the least scrupulous man on earth.
that said, maybe some good could come out of a neuralink scenario - what if the corporate medical malpractice suits bankrupt the saudi government who's bankrolling the project?
