A new device can detect scents and transmit them between people across distances, with the potential for long-range transmission. It marks another stage in the development of human-machine interfaces: enabling the sharing of smell. Learn more in #ScienceAdvances: https://scim.ag/4jRRN0D

Can we remotely smell Mars and Titan? (Not remotely in a hurry to smell Uranus, however.)

I will never ever not think of philosophy of AI built on 1980s/90s Philosophy of Mind as cyberdildonics. Thank you 😆
