You know how in Terminator 2, Sarah Connor realizes what she has to do when she finds out the name of the scientist who kickstarted Skynet?

That was a good movie. I only bring it up because I think everyone should watch it at least once. No other reason.

This is some of the best agitprop material I've seen in a while. "The rich fucks who own everything make you work two jobs just to barely afford rent with roommates, they've made having teeth a luxury, and now they're bragging about their plans to enslave you in your own goddamn dreams."

a-guy

So....if I am SOO needed that I literally have to spend my entire existence 24/7 working even when I'm asleep. Why does everyone insist I have to do my work for free?

[-] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 19 points 11 months ago

keep working

Honestly? The appeal of fucking off to france-cool gets more and more appealing. Sure, their bourgeoisie is just as ghoulish as America's, but at least their working class has less corporate loyalists.

Literally with ideas like this what other thing is there to do than to just get rid of them? Like no I’m not doing that, no one should do that. Sleep habits and how they affect the human body and psychology is one of the most understudied things in science I would think. Why would you complicate it with this shit?

Sleep is important, it’s the only time your body repairs and builds itself really. Don’t fuck with it.

i'm convinced the elite have never moved on culturally from feudalism. sad that they lucked into access to advanced technology they had no business touching.

If I ever get to the point where my own personal, true retreat from this capitalist hellscape is invaded, I am going to become an eco terrorist

This is such a grift.

They haven't been able to induce lucid dreams with ultrasound, they don't have any sort of prototype, and they don't have any evidence that this technique will work. They're taking down payments for a hypothetical product that they will probably never build.

Seems to be 90% of the tech "industry" these days. Scams preying on people who think computers are magic and stealing their money.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

Somehow, they came up with a worse idea than inserting advertising into your sleep.

  1. If we could work while dreaming and live our daily lives free, without any damage to our psyche I'd take it.

  2. Imagine how this fucks up a person so bad that 1) will not be good

Elon Musk is the antichrist and neuralink is the beast.

[-] supafuzz@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago

There are so so many antichrists it's exhausting

[-] btbt@hexbear.net 10 points 11 months ago

Don’t worry, they’re affiliated with Neuralink there’s no way the tech will work

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

I'm morbidly curious, what will happen if people don't want to have Neuralink planted in them? No way porky would just let someone refuse, that would be leaving money on the table.

  • make sleep work pay well
  • a lot of people do it because money is tight
  • wages don't increase with living costs
  • sleep work is now necessary to not fall into cultural poverty
  • ???
  • profits (for me not for thee)

I find this hypothetical genuinely terrifying.
