Yeah, fuck that, I'm flying around doing crazy shit in dreams I control. Unless I get paid hourly.
“Yeah boss … I came up with this really cool solution while I was dreaming but I couldn’t remember it when I woke up so I’m gonna need to get some more sleep hours in to try to find it again.”
And you really don't have that level of control over your dreams while lucid dreaming.
Almost never had the pleasure, but I believe one of the main tipoffs that you're dreaming is whatever text you're looking at will be illegible. And they are expecting coding to happen.
Though the more interesting screw up is there exists any CEO anywhere that honestly believes I'm not going to use this for porn.
Ive heard that too, but I have no problem reading things in my dreams. And I make a note about that in my dreams too. Lol.
One one hand this tech would be fun to play with on your own. But on the other having to work day and night is very dystopian. Come to think of it do any of these corpos ever think that humans are still needed in capitalism. Like if you forced everyone to have the work ethic they desire humans would probably not socialize or reproduce. A break free work world would bring humanity to extinction in the most depressing way possible. Edit: also if everyone is spending all their time working then who would be the customers. Who is going to buy the things these corpos want to sell.
do any of these corpos ever think
No.
I've had a small number of lucid experiences and one time I was able to literally do whatever I wanted. Including flight and teleportation. I woke up after what felt like a few minutes though, which was a bummer.
Who needs to work 10 hours a day when you can work 24? Company owners are going to be so turned on by these news.
Also I have to say, I love how the limiting factor is our imagination but all they could come up with is about working more.
I just solved a coding problem this morning that I couldn’t last night because I RESTED MY BRAIN. I’m not making this up. This just happened.
I took a week off for Thanksgiving and came back to understand Dynamo DB single table patterns I was stuck on before leaving. Sleep learning is real!
It's made by the same person as neuralink. It will never be commercialised.
If I can work while I sleep and then not go to my day job.......
No you'd rather be slowly forced into working both
Nah, I'd rather die thanks.
That's perfect, hook up the remote control electrodes before they're cold. Nice, another zombie worker doing 20 hours of hard labour, 7 days a week. For gruel!
Remember to go for the head, they're not getting me - Dead or alive!
Anyone who does this when they're stressed out knows how awful it is to be stuck thinking about a work problem over and over again and never feeling truly rested.
Often I do not wake up having solved the problem, I simply wake up feeling like the problem is hopeless because I've been obsessing over it instead of resting and never solving it
Employers: "Software Engineers are too expensive."
Also employers: "Why is our stuff not working?"
"Designers are too expensive."
"Why are we late and over budget, and it still barely works?"
Getting beefbrain so my boss makes a couple extra bucks.
It's bosses all the way up.
Great, now I'll get sexual harassment charges even when I'm sleeping.
The amount of people I've had sex with in my sleep... I'd end up with several life sentences I think.
I swear, if I have to start doing work in my sleep, I'm gonna commit a genocide.
This is both draconian and absolutely retarded. Reeks of a venture capitalist who doesn’t know anything about basic biology, psychology, or technology. The lucid dreaming state is not one of intense cognitive performance and reasoning, and even if you were able to do that heavy of a workload while “asleep”, your brain wouldn’t actually be getting any sleep. When you “wake up” you would be absolutely mentally exhausted and have to go back to actual sleep.
Jokes on you, corpo. I'll sing the Song of Cthulhu and bring his day of madness ever closer.
The lesser of two evils.
One shudders to imagine what inhuman thoughts lie behind that sleep mask. What dreams of chronic and sustained productivity?
Those fuckers are trying to make the Matrix a reality.
That's some LinkedIn lunacy, for sure. Hard pass.
Relax guys, it's just another scam start up to steal money from dumbass investors. It'll never reach a prototype.
That sounds literally impossible
Yeah, I can lucid dream, but it's really difficult to make text look coherent. Even if I could visualize code, it's damn near impossible to retain the details after you wake up.
Even your dreams are now corporate IP.
I already code in my sleep. I wake up sometimes and have code concepts ready to go. It's kinda wild.
There's nothing like solving a coding problem in your sleep.
I've literally woken up and rushed to the computer because I came up with an answer to a problem I had while sleeping lol
And here I've been spending just 2/3 of my life in productive wage earning hours like a moron
smells like stinky stinky bullshit
In a world with a solid support structure like universal basic income, where people would never be forced to sleepwork to survive, this could be quite cool. There could be some amazing artist/engineer collabs done.
I can give a 1 better. Ive developed a technique to write code while drunk.
What you mean to say is you are developing a nervegear and we are closer to SAO than ever
SAO, but instead of playing in an RPG, it's just a virtual desk job
I always wanted an Inception dream machine. What if you taught yourself a skill while in there and brought it out to the real world? I hope that one day those machines exist.
