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
  • 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

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

"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.

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"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month 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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month 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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I performed by myself trepanation

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

Really good documentary on this

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month 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

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

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

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

Tech company: we have created HypnOS from Hypnospace Outlaw

Wtf is this. Just take drugs

"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."

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

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

Fucked up sci fi short story dystopia

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month 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.

Butlerian Jihad when?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month 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/

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

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

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.

this is how we get Cyclolucidites

Just like Dream Scenario so-true
