This has to be a joke

Hazzia ,

These guys are so behind the curve. I’ve already interacted with Dream worlds countless times using this little-known hack called “dreaming.” Look it up, you won’t be disappointed.

MonkderVierte ,

Nah, that’s “lucid dreaming”. Children do that often and generally unlearn it while growing up. Grownups usually forget what they dreamt and have no influence on the dream. But ld can be trained.

I saw the tagline and thought it meant that REM sleep is the next big thing people invest in because sleep is good for your health so they’re selling solutions to boost your sleep quality

Boy was I wrong

Oh, so they can’t get autonomous driving to work, thus the next step is to get people who are sleeping to steer the cars remotely

Opisek ,

But do I get paid for that?

krysel ,

Barely

They’re going to ender’s game you. It’ll be pitched as a game or training and it’ll come out it was real cars

Opisek ,

I will totally abide by all traffic rules when playing a virtual reality driving game in my sleep. Nothing can go wrong there.

greybeard ,

Well, in the case of Ender’s Game, that was the point. Trick kids into thinking they were playing a game and they wouldn’t think twice about being as brutal as necessary to win. So if your goal is to have cars murder people, having people control them with their dreams is a pretty good idea.

Tbh, if it were possible to record dreams or reliably trigger vivid lucid dreams, that could be one of the most significant breakthroughs in the history of art, recreation, and psychology. The fact that some startup is trying to grift on the idea with IoT/gig economy bullshit doesn’t change that.

So will people pay to have Nicolas Cage in their dreams, or will they pay to not have him in their dreams?
