Eh, keep building this technology and give me the ability to push a script into an AI and it render my world for me with a little tweaking here or there. We're not there yet but it recalls a moment in one of Iain Banks' novels where one of the minds "lies." Since it would be trivial to generate a false flag that had all the data necessary to prove an event "happened" you had to trust that he mind wasn't lying about what it witnessed.

What is truly astonishing to me is we are close, not quite there, but close. I remember when The Spirits Within came out in 2001 and we were so blown away. I look at it now and it feels so amateurish in comparison.
