Maybe the senses he is referring to are sight, hearing, and touch. When I was working on augmented and virtual reality devices and associated software, I also had to incorporate haptics into the system. The next evolution into augmented and virtual reality is the ability to touch the object(s) you are looking at. We were working on training simulators to train Apache helicopter maintenance personnel.
You wouldn't believe the number of offers we were getting from the porn industry for the technology. 
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

That's a very comprehensive list of what Edge might mean. 
I believe the correct one is the last one:

Fewer people's jobs are likely to be destroyed by artificial intelligence and robots than has been suggested by a much-cited study, an OECD report says. Only a 14% chance? Roll for initiative

Some cybersecurity experts and regular users were surprised to learn about a Chrome tool that scans Windows computers for malware. But there’s no reason to freak out about it. After all, they wouldn't do anything evil with it, right?
... right?

Experts: "Software, such as browsers, must scan for malware!"
- Later -
Experts: "We were shocked to find software, such as browsers, scanning for malware!"

Pundit: Software will anticipate what you want to do
Developer: To do that, software must gather data
Pundit: Surveillance state!

If you’re a big enough fan of ramen, maybe you can look at a photo of a tonkotsu bowl on Instagram and immediately recognize which restaurant it’s from. Good to know someone has their priorities straight

I expect a news story any day now that Google's ramen identifier can't distinguish between ramen and a cat playing the piano. Or a bowl of worms.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

At one time in our career we have a decision to make if we want to keep being technical or moving into management. It sounds odd, but there is a lot of truth to it. Super Senior Developer?

Redundancy. Your skills are for last year's technology even though the whole of the organisation's systems depends on it. We'd rather employ someone with no skills but who can post photos of his / her lunch on FaceBook.

I once had a boss who said that I should go intoi management. I told him the only way I'd go intoi management would be to fire his ass for making such a satupid suggestion. That was the end of the discussion and I worked for 20 more years and was the highest technical level in the company worldwide, SeniorGeoscience Advisor.
