Apple Vision Pro Is The End of Reality As We Know It
The year is 2223. I am floating lifeless in a vat of goo, being pumped nutrients to keep my body alive as my consciousness lives freely in a remote supercomputer in the Arctic. My day consists of doing literally anything I want. I can fly to a virtual moon. Join a 100 man death match round of hide and seek, fight a Siberian tiger, go on a date with another human consciousness or an indistinguishable AI representation of one, completely customizable. The only limit is my imagination, and even that can be enhanced by AI generated prompts and auto-suggestions.
There’s no limit anymore. There’s no physical space, no time, no repercussions for my actions. I live in a virtual reality where anything and everything is possible. A world where consciousness has separated itself from “reality” as we now know it today.
Is this a utopia or a dystopia? If we have access to everything, everywhere, all at once, will we be happy? Or will we be miserable? Perhaps questions like that won’t even matter at that point. Life itself will have a different meaning altogether.
It is 2023 and the Apple Vision Pro and spacial computing is just the start. A revolution is near. Is my prediction too farfetched? Honestly, I don’t think so.
