Exactly. We need breakthroughs that would allow for a full-dive system before that can ever happen. Technology that can individually interface with every neuron in the brain is a very, very long way off.
Let’s be real. Even if Facebook could do that right now, who the fuck is going to give Mark fucking Suckerberg full access to their brain? I don’t even trust their apps on my phone. I don’t even trust visiting their website on my computer. How fucking stupid would someone have to be to physically jack their brain into Facebook?
Unfortunately, if it was free or cheap, there are a lot of people out there who would do it without a second thought. It wouldn’t take any convincing beyond someone they trust telling them it’s safe and it works.
It doesn’t need to interact with every neuron and that kind of brain interface technology is coming along rapidly. We already have the ability to give people a 6th sensory perception by adding tech to their skull. Shit’s cool as hell and our lord and saviour, Gabe Newell, is currently working in that area.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been lucid dreaming for decades. Don’t even need a computer to do that, just a bed.
I’m sure there’s heuristics and reductions that can leverage the dreaming capabilities of the brain to create that experience while awake. Hell - certain hallucinogenic compounds do exactly that.
Give it Internet connectivity and well - what is that if not deep dive?
I think it could be the future, it just isn’t the near future.

Technology is the window to opportunity. Once we have the tech, imagination becomes reality.
Have your tried turning your brain off, and back on again?

Ads and paywalls directly transferred in my brain? No thanks.
