I find images such as the one above extremely disconcerting for some reason. They cause me about a 7/10 level of discomfort, verging on moderate pain. It also sticks in my head for a dozen or so minutes after viewing. I'd strongly prefer to never see one ever again, please.
I don't know if this is something unique to my brain, or if this is a step towards a real life BLIT, but wow. Awful to experience, I have extra empathy for epileptic people now.
Me too (though to a much lesser extent for this particular image; a little more for certain other such images). Reading Scott Alexander say that such images look a lot like LSD hallucinations made me change my mind about whether I'll ever want to try LSD.
