@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.

the guy behind this startup:
- (CW bloody photos) “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”
Yeah, that’s a new level of it. It’s self-inflicted harm for now.
“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.
“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”
This is what you find written on scattered notes in an abandoned asylum in a horror game
I wonder if some bazinga will leave a note by their corpse saying something like “just like in the Outlast treats!”
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
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?
I’m pretty sure the billionaire bazingas are very, very eager to build Le Epic Matrix because it had amazing blue curtains.
:neo-whoa:
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
Eh the risk is always present, but way less in Trashfuture than in WTYP
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.”
Like I’m really gonna trust a guy with a hole in his head
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
Fucked up sci fi short story dystopia
THEY MADE BEEFBRAIN REAL!!!honey can you please stop dreaming the garage door open at 3am
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?
They should have promised the ability to work while you sleep. Tech bro types will throw piles of cash at it.
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/
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.
