Hard to fathom why everyone is optimistic about this. Hasn't recent history overwhelmingly demonstrated that adding AR tech to out current culture will result in exactly the situation from the video?
The video is exactly how I want the future to be. 100% wired in.

Maybe releasing the nam-shub of Enki in SV would be wise.
Why would you want that?
So he made a new one i see, because my thoughts went to one he made 8 years ago.

Not only AR. But VR too https://vimeo.com/user12563589/uncannyvalley. The consequences are scary and we are already half way to this reality
I'm still unsure if this a spoof. I wonder how long someone could endure that before experiencing apoplexy.
great video, thanks
