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
  • Interacting with dream worlds using brain implants
  • Social media for sharing dream journals
  • Smart sleep masks powered by Al
  • Many other breakthroughs from our lab (videos and tech)

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

Aug 29th Palo Alto

"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"

Techbros are cultists, complete with blood rituals. Sure, sometimes self inflicted spectacles, but it doesn't really stop there if there's some Megele-style "experimentation" to do.

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 16 points 2 weeks ago

There's blood rituals and then there's "i drilled a hole into my own skull and stuck an electrode into it to make this look less like powerpoint engineering"

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, that's a new level of it. It's self-inflicted harm for now. so-far

"Neuralink" already goes beyond self-inflicted for similar bazinga experiments. CW if you dare to see what they've already done to hundreds of primates.

This is what you find written on scattered notes in an abandoned asylum in a horror game

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

I wonder if some bazinga will leave a note by their corpse saying something like "just like in the Outlast treats!" so-true hypersus

[-] nohaybanda@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

I performed by myself trepanation

Use a gun next time. I’ve heard it can trigger a kind of eidetic memory or whatever

[-] Tom742@hexbear.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

Really good documentary on this

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 18 points 2 weeks ago

I'm going to burn all my technology and live in the woods if they put ads in sleep.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

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?

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

:neo-whoa:

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

I'm pretty sure the billionaire bazingas are very, very eager to build Le Epic Matrix because it had amazing blue curtains.

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

[-] miz@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

I kinda want to listen to the Trashfuture episode but I'm dreading November will say something anticommunist

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

Eh the risk is always present, but way less in Trashfuture than in WTYP

[-] Coolkidbozzy@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

it's so good, only 3/4 of the way through but it should be taught in schools

[-] Meh@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago

Game Dev: In my game we invented HypnOS as a cautionary tale

Tech company: we have created HypnOS from Hypnospace Outlaw

[-] varmint@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

Wtf is this. Just take drugs

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

"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."

[-] Sickos@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

Like I'm really gonna trust a guy with a hole in his head

[-] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

Fucked up sci fi short story dystopia

[-] Des@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] autism_2@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

pizza-dance THEY MADE BEEFBRAIN REAL!!!!!!!!

[-] 666PeaceKeepaGirl@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

honey can you please stop dreaming the garage door open at 3am

[-] Owl@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

Butlerian Jihad when?

[-] LanyrdSkynrd@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

They should have promised the ability to work while you sleep. Tech bro types will throw piles of cash at it.

[-] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago

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/

[-] FortifiedAttack@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] neroiscariot@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

I went to the website, and it was like I slipped into a lamer version of hell from Event Horizon:

this is how we get Cyclolucidites
