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."

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.

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?

[–] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

porky-scared-flipped: "WHOA THERE, looks like SOMEONE is entitled!? You youg'uns sure are spoiled! I need my free labor, even in your sleep peasant!"

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

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

Elon Musk is the antichrist and neuralink is the beast.

There are so so many antichrists it's exhausting

  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

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.

[–] btbt@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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)
[–] christian@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I find this hypothetical genuinely terrifying.
