Oh great, now they expect us to work in our sleep.

Next stop is to make ads in our sleep, Futurama style.
I still hold that if/when someone develops an actual functional chip to go in our brains, the first bit of homebrew is going to be adblocking.
Then we'll see if the human brain can run DOOM, as is tradition.
The good news: it can run DOOM easily. The bad news: we don't know how to get it to stop running DOOM.
My brain has been running DOOM for years. A paper bag to breathe into, the 5-4-3-2-1 method, and Xanax in the worst cases help.
Ignoring the capitalistic dystopia this represents, I have no interest in letting a techbro ultrasound my brain, especially to be more productive with my work.
People love to think of brain-tech as sci-fi magic that will improve everything, but there's zero chance it doesn't devolve into the same profit focused mess we already have with every other tech field. Having even more of my person commodified is not something I'm interested in welcoming.
I mean, even lucid dreaming is still dreaming. It won't really be a good idea to let unconscious people write code (or anything for general consumption)
Every time I've lucid dreamed, I've just rolled with the dream logic, not imposed real logic
Right?! Last lucid dream I had I was sure I had written the coolest song ever, people in the dream thought it was amazing. I knew it was a dream, but fuzzy dream me was genuinely excited to remember it when I woke up.
From what I recall it was a country western rap/chant... Spoiler: It was not a good song.
it's paywalled, what bullshit did they come up with to get investor's money
Start up company, ridiculous product, fortune magazine... It's bullshit invester advertising. Probably fraudulent too based on Fortunes track record of promotion.
Theres no working product yet. Last this was posted they're measuring lucid dreamers sleep, AND THEN they're going to use some transducers to stimulate someone's brain to hit observed conditions. But it's all in theory now.
I wouldn't want to be a guinea pig for this, that's for sure. Can't imagine anything going wrong.
In all seriousness I really do code in my sleep sometimes. I wake up and remember how to fix something tricky. If it meant I could knock off early I guess I could cope with this 🤔
What do they think we've already been doing this whole time? It's why we prefer to have the lights out in the office.
If they end up becoming a successful company, that in fact can induce lucid dreaming at will, how long do you think it will be before they start showing us dream ads?
it won't be that hard. I mean, some people can suddenly dream about local milfs/ dilfs available in their area.
or that one guy trying to reach them about some extended warranty.
Yeah. that is 100% not why they are developing tech to induce lucid dreams.
That is just how they got funding for flying sex dreams.
As long as my sleep counts towards hours worked, and the amount of hours worked stays the same, I could agree to this.
This is just the less fun version of hypnospace outlaw, where you can just do basically Myspace in your sleep instead of work. Great video game, big recommend
That'd be pretty sweet if I could study in my sleep.
