I again can't believe that the people replying is not bots. How you see 3k dolar mattress with a AI bullshit + subscription fee and think "what a great product"?

I'm so fucking sick of these AI techbros reinventing something that has existed for decades and slapping a shitty AI label on it and saying it'll change humanity forever. It's just so blatant how full of shit they are. This thing is a fucking sleep scheduler, something anyone could do themselves with a pen and piece of paper. The only thing new about it is how much it'll kill the planet every time Johnny Rube uses it to tell him that 8 hour of sleep is a good idea.
But does your pen and paper sleep scheduler come with a $3,000 “smart” mattress cover and a monthly subscription fee?
Oh shit, you're right. 
I’m sorry this person raised 100 million dollars? Is this a bit!?
Juicero
Will Regular People Buy, Too?
No, because it's $3,000.
I'm betting companies like this are the pets.com and WebVan of the 2020s and we're going to see the bubble burst in a few years.
From the video
it will improve your sleep by upto 3%
👍
It's a thingy majingy you put on your bed and it changes the temperature of your bed.
So, like an electric blanket but $3000?
Actually its a $3000 AI electric blanket with a monthly subscription
Except it can cool, as well as heat. Someone built a workalike for $100 and no monthly subscription, though.
Our solution to this problem cost us like $100, and it's lasted forever: we each bought our own blankets for the bed. My partner's is a heavy as hell extremely warm blanket. Mine is a dollar store bedsheet that offers zero warmth, but I can wrap myself up like a caterpillar in a cocoon and stay cool.
As a bonus, our solution didn't involve the Bombardiro Crocodilo machine burning down the planet to do the same thing.
Hell yeah! I like to be as cold as the human body can survive when I sleep. Also I like to have like 85 pillows so I can build myself a small mech suit/fortress. My spouse hates this but I need it to survive.
I like to be in a cold room, but be warm under a blanket. Idk why that is just the perfect way to sleep for me.
We need to normalize separate blankets for couples sharing a bed.
Return to tradition (but tradition is the seperate beds like in I love Lucy).
spoiler
to be clear, this is a joke
This is the real lesson from nordic countries
Porky is unironically fuming over the fact can’t charge you for sleeping (yet).
Porky is fuming that it might bring you some sense of joy to just turn off, or at least some sense of relief. And any state besides misery is a problem porky wants to “solve”.
people: can the 8-hour 5-day work weeks be reduced plz (literally the most lib-friendly concession)
ceos:
If you want a picture of the future, imagine SaaS stamping on a human face - forever.
many nights I have fallen asleep wondering if the technology of a $30 rice cooker could be integrated into a mattress cover and purchased for 100x the price with a subscription on top.
the most fucked shit here is not even the pitch, but the absolute freaks responding enthusiastically in the replies. those HAVE to be bots.
Poland fact: sleeps makes you recover your strenght, vodka makes you sleep, therefore vodka makes you stronger
Fully autonomous AI that knows your body better than you do.
What is this the Russian sleep experiment
At least then the USSR would be getting useful information from the nonsense. This is worse, because it's capitalists doing it. Because they can't charge us by the minute to sleep yet, so selling crap like this to desperate people with insomnia is the next best way to make money off the proletariat needing to get decent sleep.
for decades
i actually don't get this part. why not say "throughout history" or "for thousands of years"? decades? decades?
it's a fractal of nonsense, yeah
Why does it look like you're trying to hide a giant novelty clown hammer behind your back?
Ohhh another knock off sleep number bed. And their inflated stats on their own website only claim (up to) 1 in 4 (25%) get a better night sleep. The water cooled matress and blanket? Good luck cleaning those.
Doesn't stop your brain from misfiring chemical sequences and locking you into a semi conscious panic filled paralysis where you can't breathe.
If the blanket is too hot I flick my leg and let it breathe a bit. I have a $15 fan for white noise and airflow. I can adjust how much open blanket is exposed so I can "adjust the temperature." I have a $5 a month subscription to all the music genres I want to listen to ad free on a 6 year old $200 Dolby Atmos 
/s rated tablet if I need to further zone out. Melatonin is also cheap.
I can also toss my sheets and blanket in the wash machine.
But how can I, a not author and podcaster (their "scientific board), do better than these professional grifters?
duolingo but for sleeping 
You lie down, close your eyes, and hope for success
Is that what we're calling jerking yourself to sleep now?
I mean, that does work. At least, it works for guys and masculine aligned people regardless of bits. No clue if it does anything for binary women. I imagine it probably does, though.
