Very insightful vision of a (proto-?)wireheading future.

I suspect something similar to this may eventually be developed for AI-generated music, too. A kind of superstimulus or wirehead music that initially sounds strange and unintelligible but soon proves to be more pleasurable than anything you've ever heard before. Maybe even trained on and tailored to each individual's brain, to maximize pleasure and reward peaks. Perhaps with a little bit of optional user input, like sliders for fast, slow, bright, dark, intense, soft, "dopaminergically flat vs. spiky", etc.




Maybe that's what vaporwave already is.
