Can someone summarize the advance relative to the prior art? There is quite a bit of previous work in this space including PixieDust (siggraph 2014) [0]. [0] https://youtu.be/NLgD3EtxwdY

The use of ultrasound holograms rather than an array of transducers. https://www.nature.com/articles/nature19755

Many people see DMT elves. You can hear some of McKenna's quotes in Shpongle's songs ("A New Way to Say Hoo-ray". And of course, in the Silmarillion, Eru Iluvatar "sings" the universe into form and creates deities that form harmonies (and then, dissonance).

Arguably also the bible is saying this too: "In the beginning was the Word"

This (the "Logos" translated as "the Word") is just the New Testament cribbing straight out of Hellenistic Judaism (cuz in fact early Xianity was just a Jewish sect). In particular, Philo of Alexandria.

Reminds me of Kryptonian tech in Man of Steel

This is exactly what this reminded me of. I can forsee high fidelity solid, textured holograms just being some kind of colour changing liquid that's controlled with sound waves. Perhaps 100 years into the future we will have dynamic furniture at a whim in our houses through some kind of similar technology .. or be able to materialize dynamic cooking pots exactly suitable for each dish, and then de materialize them af…

I was thinking maybe some day an artist could release concept album that, with a little material added in a stereo field, animates material into a 3D moving scene, like a hologram movie except with real stuff.

[flagged]

The anecdote about Tibet is interesting, though I couldn't find it in the book you mention. I searched for "cliff", "vibration", "sing", and a few other keywords. Do you remember more of the context? After that part, I'm afraid I don't see the connection to the manufacturing technique that is the subject of this discussion.

There is a discussion of this in “harmony of the spheres” by Joscyln Godwin. A very well sourced book, in fact.

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

It occurred to me last week that phrase is prompt engineering. He is giving the essential info to specify what he wants presumably because a shorter specification would yield a different result. I wonder if star trek replicators are deterministic. Does Picards frequent ordering of Tea Early Grey Hot make the probability of someone ordering "tea" more likely to be TEGH, and thus if Picard ordered TEGH frequently enoug…

Deterministic for sure, that's why he always specifies hot. Though ChatGPT would infer it's hot due to the strong statistical correlation and proximity in it's linguistic training data (at least most of the time... probably, depending on the weather)... but in the future people have learned that it's a bad idea to trust language models alone, and although the singularity has occurred (Data), he'd rather not spend his time processing Picard's drink orders.
