You could say your personality/disposition is your "meta prompting"? But then, this aspect of humans never decays over time and must be reprompted, unless you'd say mental illness is exactly this. I'm not enough of a prompt engineer to really compare, though...

On the topic of eyesight, have you seen EndMyopia?

I think the key to understand here is that AI can close the memory gap/gate. For me personally, every bit of interaction I have with the world updates/processes/synthesizes/creates at a rate a supercomputer could never do with context without completely bricking. But humans decay and computers don’t. I’ll meditate on this and write more soon…

I have not! Will look it up

I think in order to be a true game changer rather than merely an upgraded "commonplace" of man's knowledge (which is still revolutionary, but we've already gone through much of it in the past decades with search engines), it has to be implanted, otherwise you're still forced to look down and slowly read, then comprehend/connect/expound upon the output of the engine at natural pace and ability.. given we've already made progress with interpreting the brain's signals and translating its words and images, and despite a lack of conclusion with truly understanding it, it's not like we are new to technology which we don't quite understand the mechanism behind.

I think stats like Hong Kong myopia jumping 30% or more per generation are interesting, as well as the ciliary muscle...

Also look up transcranial direct current stimulation/random noise stimulation
