    This feels like one of those situations where something is designed purely to absorb as much venture capital on the tiny, infinitesimally small chance it produces a viable product.

      This. So tired of “reporting” that might as well be science fiction. Write an article when they have a fucking working prototype.

        It’s one of those things where a lot of these tech startups make enormous promises but the technical challenges are just so far beyond what we’re capable of. Like I remember for years r/space on reddit functioned as, functionally, a duplicate of r/spacex. Every other article was about Elon Musk’s “totally real” Mission to Mars or about how “full self driving was right around the corner.” It’s all corporate pandering and wish fulfillment. We want to pretend like we live in a world of unrestrained scientific advancement and fantastic technology. We don’t. Science is hard and our understanding of how brains and sleep works is facile.

    “When you have experienced something so extraordinary, it really imbues life with a certain level of enchantment and mystery and profundity.”

    I can see a downside. Every second person I meet telling me all about their dream.

      I hate “wet” dreams. I remember having only couple of them in my lifetime of over 3 decades, and every time I’ve woken up before the climax

    I think this will lead to people putting the device on and never turning it off.
