I’ve suffered from lucid dreams before for a few weeks, it’s awful, it’s like you never really rest and I’m not talking about nightmares, just regular dreams. I do not want to have lucid dreams again
This is the equiv of saying “Startup believes humans can fly without wings..”
To call complete bull crap is the worlds largest understate. This is a non-story except for the fact that someone is stupid enough to go on record imagining this is a thing.
Everyone’s so concerned with the nightmare of a company never expecting you to rest, but I wonder about how this could open the door to Matrix style worker farms in third world countries where they keep people asleep indefinitely whilst forcing them to work.
A lot of people are misunderstanding this product.
This product doesn’t transfer any of the shit you do in a dream or has any sort of transferability.
All it does is induce the ability to have a lucid dream. Anything that happens there is of your own personal design and anything that comes out of it is only what you can physically remember.
Yes you can contemplate problems you have in the waking world and try to resolve any specific problem you have, but it’s not like your going to write like 1000 lines of code or write a essay and bring it back word for word when you wake up.

Great, it’s not enough that I have to work when awake, they want me to work when asleep.

Sleeping on the job, eh?
Yeah. That’s what you pay me for.

Corporations, probably: We should not have to pay employees for work done while they sleep
Also corporations, probably: *implement metrics to measure the productivity of employee’s subconscious*

I’m sure American Capitalism will use this as a chance to cut working hours and let people enjoy leisure and not force people to work 24/7

This looks like it would have terrific recreational potential.

The day they suggest I start working in my sleep is the day I quit my software engineering job to go farm cabbages.

Can do it =/= Will do it
Could do it =/= Would do it

Is this how the Matrix starts? I feel like this is how you get a Matrix.

Sounds like 100 Years of Solitude
