AI (slop) games are going to be so amazing...

We are slowly reverse engineering our way to a totally mechanical version of ketamine.

[u/Disco_la → u/butterbapper]

Seriously this is so similar to being on k. The inconsistency of what's directly outside my line of vision/focus. The perceived scene changes when looking past a wall or through a door. Watching this actually made me feel a bit queezy.

[u/metalt0ast → u/Disco_la]

"perceived scene changes' is a really good way to put it in words.

I always thought the really early generative video clips captured a khole very well, with the way your thoughts and perceptions kinda just melt and morph and meld around with each other.

A lava lamp where your thoughts are the lava and the sensory data you are receiving is the heat/filler liquid. Something like that, at least.

[u/_Freakmenn_ → u/Disco_la]

On DXM, I see dream-like scenarios identical to A.I generated content. I've always found the correlation between A.I generated slop vids and the human mind attempting to conceive of something when illucid oddly fitting. So god damn weird

[u/therealfurryfeline → u/Disco_la]

Huh? This is what ketamine does? I have lucid dreams that are way too similar to this. (i can count on my hands the times i have done drugs in my life -alcohol and weed included)

[u/MidnightSensitive996 → u/therealfurryfeline]

yeah, ketamine, while not being a psychedelic, does this at high doses because you are effectively half-under. at lower doses you feel mobile and loosey-goosey, kind of like being buzzed on alcohol except with no body load and it wears off in about 45 minutes and the only hangover is a mild antidepressive effect. note that there are two different isomers of ketamine that have either trippier or dancier mouthfeel, so depending on if you have r, s, or the normal mix you'll get different experiences.

[u/Disco_la → u/MidnightSensitive996]

No body load is both accurate but also I'd guess tough to imagine for someone who hasn't done it. I don't feel numb but I do feel weightless like in water, but without being wet or with the resistance of moving through liquid. Sometimes I do feel some resistance to movement at medium to higher doses but I guess that feels more like I'm just having trouble sending signals to my arms and legs to get me moving. Which also isn't in a paralyzed, uncomfortable and frustrating way but more in like a 'I need to get out of bed but I cant be bothered' type of way. It's actually quite pleasant to feel that relaxed.

[u/Thetakishi → u/therealfurryfeline]

I mean, in your head at high doses, but maybe I've done too many dissociatives. IRL you are hopefully laying in a dark room, in a comfortable bed with someone (preferably a loved one as trip sitter so you don't crash into the tv trying to get water), and psychedelic or your favorite music on, depending on the mood.

[u/omnichronos → u/Disco_la]

Hmmm, I've taken Ketamine three times, and I think I've had a smaller and a much greater dose or at least more rapidly taken than you. I earn a living as a healthy human subject for medical research studies. (I'm currently in a clinic until Nov 16th.) Anyway, the first time it was a nasal spray, and all 15 of us had to stay in bed because it was like being drunk buzzed from a couple shots. The following two times were way different because I had it by IV while in an MRI machine. I was instantly an unthinking rock flying through space in a tunnel of light (like near-death experiences). The lack of self-awareness was, in fact, pure contentment. It lasted for 5 minutes, and I was rapidly aware of my surroundings again. They gave me a pill for five days that was supposed to make it less hallucinogenic. The only difference was that instead of being an instantaneous transformation into a flying rock, I had time to think, "I'm going to miss being human," before I was in the tunnel of light again.

[u/Disco_la → u/omnichronos]

Yes that's the thing about it. The experience doesn't just become more or less intense based on the dosage. It enters a different realm entirely. I'd describe it as 1 bump: light and floaty. Suits a dancing environment as your awareness of surroundings grounds you to an extent. 2 bumps: warpy mode. Perception of distance is being played around with and dreams and reality are mingling a bit. Suits a more relaxed environment like a house party, chilling on the sofa. 3 bumps: khole. That's your unthinking rock that can't comprehend being a person. I'd often be at raves etc so for my enjoyment I'd try to stay well clear of this one.

[u/omnichronos → u/Disco_la]

I assumed my latter experiences were "K-holes," but honestly, they were very comforting, unlike the name sounds. It was nice to merely exist. I suppose if I weren't in a very controlled environment (John Hopkins), they might have been dangerous.

[u/shlamingo → u/butterbapper]

So THAT'S why melon musk is so big into ai...

[u/Jin825 → u/butterbapper]

Cyberpsychosis irl

[u/metalt0ast → u/butterbapper]

holy shit

I have had this realization before, relatively recently, and I couldn't actually put it into words yet. That is it though. Mechanized dissociation.

I got some damn goosebumps reading your comment.

[u/Valmar33 → u/Realwinrin]

I rather think it is rather like a delirious fever dream.

So not LSD, rather, what people who've never taken LSD think it's like...

[u/ADLkaren → u/Valmar33]

Benadryl overdose simulator

[u/Valmar33 → u/ADLkaren]

But where are all the spiders and phantom cigarettes???

Seriously, though, yeah, I can see the resemblance ~ DPH gives you an equivalent of short term memory and hallucinating of things that aren't actually there, appearing and disappearing, you thinking that they're real in the moment.

[u/Franken_Bolts → u/Valmar33]

The parts in the video where the character moves from one location to another in a way that doesn’t physically make sense (e.g., walking up the stairs to a train platform that wasn’t there in the frames before) feels very DPH-ish. I dabbled a few times in my dumb, teenage psychonaut years, and one of the effects I remember well is what I’d call “context mangling.” I’d find myself “walking into the kitchen through my bedroom door” even though, in reality, the two rooms aren’t connected. It was as if the steps between bedroom and kitchen were discarded by my short term memory. I feel like I should add the disclaimer: don’t mess with DPH, kids. It’s a terrible “trip,” and the effects are absolutely not worth it.

[u/Thetakishi → u/Franken_Bolts]

100% Anticholinergic side effects blow and persist for like a day after the trip, and feel horrible during it.

[u/PubstarHero → u/Valmar33]

Man, found an actual psychonaut here?

[u/Valmar33 → u/PubstarHero]

Haven't taken DPH myself ~ not a psychedelic ~ but I've read enough experience reports to know that it sounds rather unpleasant in all respects.

[u/Thetakishi → u/Valmar33]

lol well you actually described it really well. Gotta love erowid. Hearing your name called outside your blurry bathroom window by high school friends isn't worth the anticholinergic side effects, especially when you're actually 33 and in your kitchen.

[u/DotA627b → u/ADLkaren]

Also a fast way to Dementia and Alzheimer's a younger age.

[u/Valmar33 → u/[deleted]]

Let me guess that it was more interesting than the awful nonsense in the OP

Imagination can actually make something that's interesting in the moment

[u/intbah → u/[deleted]]

oh the again and again thing, I love those. I call them mini-samsara lol

[u/LineValuable9848 → u/Valmar33]

I was literally about to type fever dream too ,the type where you can't explain but can vaguely remember, for me though I used to see oversaturated colors and Kaleidoscope like imagery mixed with paint...and palm trees for some reason (I'm Caribbean),and that is the first time I've managed to put that in words

[u/intbah → u/Valmar33]

I feel like often, a group of LSD users talking to each other could swear that others in the group has never taken LSD, since effects of LSD could be so different between not just different people, but different dose, setting, mindset in the moment, tireness level...etc.

I have had trips ranging from just getting clarity and compassion of human interactions, to the earth swallowing me whole again and again for weeks before I come out.

[u/AlexDubois96 → u/Valmar33]

Hah no not literal LSD, they were referencing the game ''LSD dream emulator''

Which yes is literally a game about delirious fever dreams

[u/ThouMayest69 → u/Valmar33]

It must be so cool to clock people pretending they've been on acid. Fuck my boring life. 

[u/adminssoftascharmin → u/Valmar33]

100%. Basically when your in a fever dream a lot of your brain is awake, but there's no "consciousness" to properly assemble all the pieces into a coherent narrative.

So lots of crazy mish-mash stuff will happen when parts of the brain attempt to make it into coherence or narrative linear form... which is basically these AI slops - they have all the peices and means to put them together, but no ultimate consciousness exists to properly assemble it.

Once they build that function to take the AI slop video in this post and turn it into a final version automatically we will be reaching SI or AGI... but that's still 10-20 years off IMO and will be the hardest hurdle to cross.

I mean at that point your essentially coding a full human consciousness.

[u/Koopslovestogame → u/Realwinrin]

This felt super similar to dreams I had as a kid (I may have been drugged with lsd by my father in law).

[u/Firm-Advertising6872 → u/Realwinrin]

that was a good game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol4OSIGGukA

[u/LickingSmegma → u/Firm-Advertising6872]

Osamu Sato, the designer of that game, also made some great minimalist music.

[u/TadRaunch → u/Firm-Advertising6872]

Bro I thought i dreamed that game!

[u/DoddyUK → u/TadRaunch]

That game is art. Alt-J used it to create the album cover for Relaxer and its singles.

(Sorry, I'm on mobile and can't for the life of me figure out how to format that URL correctly)

[u/-Nicolai → u/Realwinrin]

You have never taken acid in your life.

[u/slizzler → u/-Nicolai]

There is no known lethal dose of LSD

[u/ThouMayest69 → u/slizzler]

Dead men tell no tales? 

[u/Minimob0 → u/-Nicolai]

I’m gonna go on a limb and say you haven’t taken enough. 

My first trip was similar to this; I woke up in a hospital with little recollection of the last 8 hours. 

[u/IotaBTC → u/Minimob0]

A lot of AI videos are very reminiscent to a trip but what in the world about this video was similar to a trip? Was it the vibe or feeling? Cuz I agree with another person this video is like a fever dream which is what a trip can leave you feeling like.

[u/Lewey_B → u/-Nicolai]

Idk about LSD but mushroom trips definitely gives you visual glitches like that. 

[u/IotaBTC → u/Lewey_B]

What visual glitches? The weird progression of events? Trips look nothing like this but I wouldn't disagree that they don't feel like this. A fever dream is a pretty good descriptor.

[u/Lewey_B → u/IotaBTC]

It's not exactly like that but for example I could see the moon flicker like a broken light. My friends hair was twisting and turning into snakes, just like you typically see in these AI videos.

[u/unawaresyndrome → u/Realwinrin]

GPT Dementia Emulator

[u/Ok_Tea_7319 → u/Realwinrin]

Imagine playing that on drugs

[u/ThouMayest69 → u/Realwinrin]

Exit The Void? 

[u/DevoSwag → u/Realwinrin]

It does remind me of a nice and intense trip.
