Last night I had a dream that my cat had his own pet cat and that both of them were dancing a waltz on the corner of my bed.
In my dream I was very disappointed because I was unable to get a video of it on my phone and when I woke up I was so disappointed that it wasn’t real, but I still checked my phone just in case.
I have no video or even pictures of the dancing cats, And that makes me sad.
Yoooo you have no clue how many times I whip out my phone in a dream to record and photograph the weird happenings, and then realize “oh wait there’s no way to get the data off this thing” and just look down at my phone with sadness, and eventually wake up with that very same sadness
I got you friend.
Didn’t you have ads in the 20th century?
Well sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio. And in magazines. And movies. And at ball games and on buses and milk cartons and t-shirts and written on the sky. But not in dreams. No siree!If you think about it, that is just idiocracy
I love this bit and quote it terribly as often as i can.
It’s important to draw a line SOMEWHERE don’t you think?
Just like people have to work every second of their waking life, it’s important to draw a line in the sand and say “I will not work in my dreams, fuck you!”
Yes, the line is that we should ban both ads and wage labour in the waking world too.
Workers of the world, unite! We have nothing to lose but our chains!
Through victory our chains are broken!
The force shall free me
On the blood of our fathers. On the blood of our sons. We swore to uphold the covenant!
Even to our dying breath!
did you know that when gorillas, chimps and other apes and monkeys have someone in their group that’s hoarding a bunch of food, the other apes in the pack will gang up on the one hoarding resources and eat the hoarder?
just something to think about I guess
I want to make sure I’m squeezed for every drop of productivity… my purpose has become clear
I saw the Nick Cage movie Dream Scenario and I’m going to say “fuck no get out of my head” right off the bat.
Between this bullshit and Musk’s brain chips the future is looking pretty bleak.
Also I suggest people check out Made for Love. It’s a show about what happens when a billionaire eccentric weirdo creates a brain chip…
I just watched this yesterday. a weird one, no surprise from Nick.

Was he manipulating the connective consciousness with his desire for attention then anger at rejection? Or was it just random sci Fi with his character at the center?
Edit If the former, I choose to view it as an alternate timeline origin story for Freddy Kruger even though that character was mentioned in the movie
I think he was unintentionally manipulating the connective consciousness. I.e. his unconscious dreams were bridging that gap. And in the beginning he was somehow mass-projecting himself into dreams that reflected his emotional state.
I guess I wish they had shown a bit more exposition on how it started, even if he never knew what he was doing
Fuck I’d take that deal. I get to sleep 8hr and wake up paid. Id only work in my sleep
They’d raise the prices of everything to match incomes. So, then you’d have to work during your sleep or be unable to afford your cost of living.
And let’s not forget the new standard 80hr work week.
“Well your work is great. Fantastic even. But I can’t help but notice you’re always sleeping on the job and that’s just not what this company culture is all about. You never come to the office, you’ve missed the last three company pizza parties… I’m sorry but we’re gonna have to let you go.”
Haha that’s not how it would work obviously. Mandated overtime!
With no overtime pay because “you’re just sleeping!” Reduced pay for everyone!
They literally stole this from Hypnospace Outlaw
Can’t wait until they make beefbrain real
I’m very glad I’m not the only one here to have thought this 😅
Matrix is affordable housing program
Wasn’t this on an episode of Trash Future?
Is the lower panel from the students presentation of that weird, AI driven body movement animation? I appreciate the reverence but also wonder how many people will recognize it.
I just looked that up, and I feel sorry for those students. I’m imagining they were trying to make an AI that does realistic movement like that Google experiment, and when it failed and ended up weird, they thought they were gonna fail their assignment, until one of them thought “we can call this zombie movement and still get a pass.”
Then they show up to present it and this guy says not that it’s trash, but that it’s offensive because he has a disabled friend. You can see the sorrow on the presenter’s face. I’m not sure he had any way of knowing that the guy would react that way. Who looks at creepy horror movement and thinks “this is offensive to disabled people”?
They didn’t just fail, they got dishonored, and I’m not sure that was justified, though I don’t know the whole context.
Agreed, I remember feeling really sorry for the students, who were so proud to be allowed to present their project to the master, just to be murdered by him in front of the class. That behavior is not acceptable, especially not from a teacher/master. I felt embarrassed myself, just from watching the video. On the other hand, Miyazaki is known for very aesthetic, classic, hand made animation, so it is not that surprising he disliked the weird, AI generated demo they showed him. Also, as he said in the video, he has a friend who is physically disadvantaged and the demo reminded him of his suffering friend. Probably he acted in an oversensitive/irrational way because of this.
Also he’s Japanese.
I wouldn’t mind this if it was for my own personal benefit, not for a greedy employer who’s already working me when I’m awake.
Seriously. They come up with something like this and the FIRST thing they freaking think of is to use it to work while sleeping? I know they have tested their own product because they are STILL dreaming!
Can’t wait for my Uber driver to show up lucid dreaming.
If I work in my sleep I get the day off, right?
Right?
The fuck is a ‘day off?’
Holy shit HypnOS is real!!
Lmao I can’t even imagine what crazy surrealist shit I’d come up with in my sleep.
<meeting>
“So, fembywho, I believe you worked last night, any progress you would like to share?”
“Ahem. Yes, uh. cough I searched for the lost spirit of my old acquaintance V from high school who bravely sacrificed herself for the good of humanity, and now is our only help against the alien menace. My companions thought her temple would be the most likely place to search, but I didn’t expect to find anything. Her spirit is hiding somewhere only I can find, but I haven’t been able to access that knowledge. I have seen visions and flown across many lands.”
“Excellent progress. Keep us informed.”
