image transcriptscreenshot of this bluesky post (which you can read without logging in here) from ‪@comraderobot.bsky.social‬ ("Notorious RBMK") saying:

my friend who still lives in palo alto gave me permission to share this mailer he got.

there’s unhinged and then there’s tech unhinged

image in post has two photos of people wearing EEG electrodes, one xray of a human head, an EEG data plot over a silhouette of a head, and this text:

REM sleep is the next Al

The upcoming era of physical reality integrated with dream worlds advanced by the REMspace startup

  • Controlling a smart home from dreams
  • Transferring speech from dreams
  • Controlling virtual cars from dreams

Don't miss the pitch of the year for potential partners and investors

Above the image is an (inaccurate) BlueSky label saying "Possible tumblr screenshot" with a "hide" button.

Better sleep would actually improve people's lives rather than just making it worse.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

I'm sorry but your sleep subscription level does not support Ad-Free Sleep^tm . If you feel you've reached this message in error can reach our customer service team during your next allotted REM period.

Our records also show 3 unauthorized attempts to enter REM in the last week. Please remember to pay your unauthorized REM fees or we may have to block REM functionality.

HypnOS 2025 looks insane

Dream Scenario (2023)

[–] OhmsLawn@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It just occurred to me how similar AI images are to dreams, always related to the prompt, but never quite how a conscious brain would imagine it. All the weird, illegible text, the grotesque bodies, etc. really do match up fairly well with unconsciousness.

[–] Tixanou@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago

I always thought the same thing, they're very similar

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I totally want a copy of the dream I had last night where someone stole my motor scooter and I was chasing them around a parking lot

I don't doubt that this is "the pitch of the year". lmao.

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

I have all ready seen total recall

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Can I save a copy of a bout of night terrors I had? I want to be able to relieve that on loop until I'm dead inside.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago

Seems legit

[–] Ghoelian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Possible Tumblr screenshot

What? Why does that need a special notice? Why is that relevant at all?

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That label is there because I'm subscribed to XBlock Screenshot Labeller and it misclassified this image. (You can find here and here more info about how labelers in ATP work...)

[–] Ghoelian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 months ago

Ahh I didn't realise this isn't twitter, I thought musk must have some weird thing against tumblr or something :)

[–] narc0tic_bird@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago (12 children)

Even if all of that worked, why would I want it?

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (3 children)

You really don't have any interest in controlling virtual cars with your dreams? That alone has me signing up as an investor.

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

i hope you're joking but if you're not i assume you live in the bay area? if you want to go to their pitch tonight, here's its eventbrite.

I sort of already do. It's called dreaming about driving a car.

I think these folks forgot that random dreams play an important role in information processing. I'd rather not mess with that too much.

I can already drive a real car in my dreams by taking Ambien

[–] russjr08@bitforged.space 0 points 2 months ago

Good god, I was finally prescribed Ambien for the first time recently, and I definitely now realize why it has the reputation that it does.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Hell yeah can't wait to control my virtual car with my dreams.

I guess people with mind blindness or blurry minds will be fucked out of luck on this tech, huh?
