      I dunno, being able to get my 8 hours of work in AND get a full nights’ sleep at the same time, leaving 16 hours for leisure sounds awesome to me!

      At least that’s how I’m choosing to believe this will play out, for the sake of my sanity.

        You mean 8hrs of sleep work and 8hrs of awake work. Paid only for the awake work

        Do you think you’ll feel rested if you were dreamworking on TPS reports all night?

          I mean, I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t give it a try, assuming it replaced 8 hours of awake work.

            Sleep is one of the few respites from the drudgery and harshness of this world. In the offchance it can actually be hijacked for more labor, do not let it be stolen.

        I’d rather work 8 hours awake and have the lucid dreaming just add to my leisure time tbh. Seems a waste to unlock the dreamworld just to be office drones in it.

        What kind of work lets you get away with zero social communication and interaction for the entirety of 8 hours a day? Even in the “coding” example, there is a fair bit of collaboration in software development.

        Even assuming this kind of job exists, your corporate overlords will push for mandatory 8hr day work + 8hr sleep work and only pay you 4 hours for it.

      Quiet, peasant, and get to dreamwork. Shareholder value isn’t going to increase on its own.

      Originally in The Matrix people were the CPU/GPU in the robots system, not the batteries.

      But WB didn’t think anyone knew what those were in 1999

        Taking advantage of the unique aspects of organic processing would have made way more sense than our convoluted and comparatively inefficient, especially in context, power output. Also closes the loop, at least somewhat, on “why didn’t they make people vegetables.”

      If any coworkers appear in my dreams, I’ll personally see to it that shit gets real weird.
