After having read Rizwan Virk's "The Simulation Hypothesis", and playing this amazing new game, I can say that AI-generated text adventure games are an important step on the road to the Simulation Point (the point at which it would be technologically possible for us to construct a simulation that is all-encompassing as the one in The Matrix).

Have you tried psychadelics yet? Or maybe learned how to lucid dream? I think such technologies will be preferable to you, even if our electronics can catch up with our biological evolution.

Sure, maybe dream machines are fun and cool, but the ones in our future will be made for profit by companies like Facebook and Alphabet which severely diminishes any potential they may have had. Real dreams are libre, gratis, and uninterrupted by ads.

I've never tried any psychedelic. But I am able to lucid dream sometimes, I just never got deep into it. I guess I should read more about it.

I agree with your second statement, this so-called dream machine sounds a lot like a future iteration of Facebook's Oculus Rift.
