the guy behind this startup:
- (CW bloody photos) “I confirm the information published in the Daily Mail. On May 17, 2023, I performed by myself trepanation, electrode implantation, and electrical stimulation of my brain’s motor cortex. I needed it to test brain stimulation during lucid dreaming”

I’m going to burn all my technology and live in the woods if they put ads in sleep.
If you’re talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then ‘real’ is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain. Do you think that’s air you’re breathing, SorosFootSoldier?
:neo-whoa:
Game Dev: In my game we invented HypnOS as a cautionary tale
Tech company: we have created HypnOS from Hypnospace Outlaw
The Palo Alto Uber Alles book should be a must read in hexbear theory
I haven’t read it obviously but I heard people talk about it for an hour
I kinda want to listen to the Trashfuture episode but I’m dreading November will say something anticommunist
Eh the risk is always present, but way less in Trashfuture than in WTYP
it’s so good, only 3/4 of the way through but it should be taught in schools
Wtf is this. Just take drugs
Like I’m really gonna trust a guy with a hole in his head
“What the fuck, Morpheus.”
“Neo, listen and contemplate. Think of the possibilities and the potential revenue streams if we interrupted REM sleep and pumped ads into people’s brains.”
people kept noticing the dreamlike quality of AI generated images and some techbro made the connection in a K-hole as a way to keep this hypebubble alive
THEY MADE BEEFBRAIN REAL!!!
Fucked up sci fi short story dystopia
honey can you please stop dreaming the garage door open at 3am
This is clearly a grift, and the target is investors, so good luck to them honestly.
Well wishes rescinded if they ever actually ship a product, of course.
Butlerian Jihad when?
You too can achieve REM AI powersleep by implanting Elon’s Neuralink brainblender-brand cyberchip 9000 directly into your skull
It comes with a power plug attached so you can increase your sleep performance with 200 volts of pure electricity blasted straight into your tiny mind.
They should have promised the ability to work while you sleep. Tech bro types will throw piles of cash at it.
i regret to inform you there is another startup literally pitching that: https://fortune.com/2023/11/30/lucid-dream-startup-prophetic-headset-prepare-meetings-while-sleeping/
this is how we get Cyclolucidites
