Prophetic is developing technology to induce lucid dreams, in which CEOs can practice for board meetings and architects can design buildings while asleep.

    I really don’t think this will become a thing but holy shit if it did that would be the most cyberpunk dystopian thing that has ever actually happened.

    I can’t imagine any possible negative side effects from hijacking your sleep cycle to work.

    I wish I could lucid dream. Then I could shoot up nazis in my sleep.

        if you do this in roblox, it might be better to do targeted jobs of 1-2 villagers each so that the runescape mods don’t imprison you, it intuitively makes sense that the mods are strapped for resources and are more likely to let a 1-2 villager job slide under their radar but not a mass deletion

        though don’t take my word for it bc I’v enever played starcraft!

    I wrote a paper during a lucid dream once by speaking with myself.

    It can be done, but is it funner than flying? Probably not.

        I get that, just saying I’d rather spend my lucid dreams flying.

      it is a tech startup there is a high chance their claims are hype based bullshit

      the average manager of a tech startup is a little boy who insists his dad is a power ranger

    Not gonna read the article right now but this sounds like VC hype shit preying on bourgeois anxieties about undisciplined labor.

    There’s a scifi TV series called Severance where memories at work and memories of personal life can be severed, I won’t spoil the story but this news of writing code in their sleep sounds just like that.

    I already write code in my sleep and it sucks. Pushing this code to production would be heretical.

    i tried lucid dreaming before, and it always evolved into the equivalent of what would happen if you snuck up on a person tripping on DMT and told them that demons were coming for them. i don’t think this’ll work as great as they think…

    I don’t want to know what type of heinous garbage silicon valley tech bros would produce via dreams. The shit they say when conscious is already pretentious and awful.

    Also it’s BS to inflate company values. The entire system is a scam.

A One-Stop-Shop for Evidence of our Social, Moral and Ideological Rot.

(It is also the official version of r/LateStageCapitalism/ on the Fediverse)

This community is for:

News, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge the narratives which act as legitimations for the status quo of modern class society. Posts need not be about capitalism specifically, whether late-stage or otherwise; we simply aim to cater to a socialist audience.

We do allow links to threads and comments on Lemmy/Reddit, as long as they are relevant to the content guidelines and follow the rules. Use NP links, or your post will be deleted.


Philosophy:

This community has its roots in broad-based anti-capitalist thought, with an emphasis on Marxist concepts and analysis and a commitment to antiracism and inclusive feminism.

When it comes to proposed alternatives to Capitalism, it is the general consensus of this community that class-divisions and alienated labour must be abolished; production must be collectively organized by the laborers themselves for the direct benefit of all. We call this socialism.

Find out more here: The Principles of Communism


Rules:

1. Lemmygrad-wide rules apply. Behavior such as brigading and harassment won’t be permitted. Neither will posts that can be interpreted as explicit threats of/calls for violence.

2. Any post that makes a claim should have a RELIABLE source or explanation in the comments by OP. All claims, news articles, tweets and so forth that are an example of LSC should be substantiated with a reliable, factual and verifiable source. Any posts that egregiously break this rule will have their poster temporarily banned. If the Automoderator deletes the comment with sources that’s fine, the moderators can still see and restore it.

3. No trolling. “I was just trolling” won’t be accepted as a defense for breaking rules, and we will ban for intentionally disruptive behavior or attacks on our community, users, or philosophy.

4. No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism. This community is intended for a socialist audience, and while good faith questions are allowed, pushing your own counter-narrative here is not. We do not allow support here for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it. We are not a liberal or (U.S.-/Social-) Democrat community; we are a socialist community.

5. No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or zionism. This includes not just ideologies to the right of liberalism but also right-wing fixations such as national/ethnic/cultural chauvinism and military/police worship regardless of the underlying ideology. We take no side in the Russia/Ukraine conflict.

6. No “lesser evil” rhetoric. Lesser-evil rhetoric in relation to elections or current policies is prohibited. Dismissing voting third party because they are “useless” or because you are “throwing your vote away” also violates this rule. It also encompasses saying Trump is “worse” for Gaza, as that place is already completely destroyed. Trump is merely carrying out what the American ruling class started under Biden. Resorts being built and mass relocation were already happening under Biden and Kamala would’ve continued it.

7. No bigotry. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or classism. The respect for readers who are subject to these forms of bigotry takes priority in this community over your right to speak freely.

8. Be nice to each other. Be respectful towards other socialists you disagree with, but also non-socialists who follow the rules and participate in good faith. Feel free to dunk on trolls, bigots and bootlickers to your heart’s content.

9. Bans are at moderator discretion. We reserve the right to eject users (as well as remove, lock, or otherwise moderate any content on the community) for reasons not listed if we consider it necessary to do so.

10. Don’t bother sending us personal promotion requests. We are not an advertising platform for your blog or YouTube channel.

11. Do not post content from Dan Price, any other CEO/business owner or ANY liberal politician/official.

This is regarding positive posts or posts agreeing with their statement. Negative posts are permitted but better suited to communities like /c/ShitReactionariesSay

Please note that Robert Reich or Bernie Sanders as liberals also fall under this rule.

12. Do not post NSFL content and flair NSFW posts accordingly. NSFL posts will be removed. Flair NSFW posts with the appropriate content warning flair, otherwise you will be banned temporarily.

13. This is not a debate community. Constructive questions and discussion are welcome, but our basic philosophy is non-negotiable and we aren’t interested in repeatedly having to explain or justify it. We also won’t debate about so-called “socialist” countries. There are plenty of political debate communities, so take your ‘gotchas’ there.

14. No AI generated content. The community does not allow for AI generated content, even if it’s pro-socialist/communist.
