Augmented Reality: A Beautiful Trap?

Augmented reality isn’t science fiction anymore—it’s quietly reshaping how we see the world. In this episode of Entropy Rising, Jacob and Lucas explore how AR could blur the line between the digital and the physical, creating a world where reality itself becomes optional. They break down the tech behind waveguides and adaptive lenses, how glasses could merge with AI, and what happens when virtual layers start to define our daily lives. From accessibility breakthroughs like live transcription to dystopian nightmares of ad-saturated streets and social credit overlays, the conversation dives into the promise and peril of a world that might soon feel incomplete without augmentation. Could AR make life more efficient, sustainable, and creative—or just trap us inside an endless feed of digital illusions?
