I understand the noble intentions behind finding a way to just let people choose prescribed amounts of time to sleep, or other helpful functionalities, but hearing him describe an app that controls when you get to sleep also scares the heck out of the part of me always on the look out for how tech corporations can make life hell.
I've had no complaints about my meat peripheral.

Look forward to this technology coming out right after I merge with infinity. This shit aint happening anytime soon sadly.
For real, capitalism is going to make this sort of technology a hellscape. I can't wait to have to pay a subscription to get a good sleep.
All I can think of now is the kind of shit people would do if they could hack your sleep
The same pseudoscientific babbling coming from the same people. /yawn

The most valve thing I've read in sometime. I think they might be "back" after Alyx, those games he confirmed that are on the way plus this quote.
Man, I don't know. Outside of medical uses this sort of thing seems extremely creepy to me. Companies are already super invasive with the way they pull and use customer data, I shudder to think what would happen with a bunch of neurological data that I would have no way of knowing how they will be used. This seems to me like the definition of a dystopia.

Are we already that far in BCI technology or is that just some kind of 'could be' visionary talk?
Damn dude, he's about ten rings and an occult tattoo away from going full Alan Moore.
Looks great...except I hope he doesn't accidentally turn himself or someone else into this
Hey there will be a free option don't worry. Your dreams will just be 8 straight hours of advertisement but at least you wake up relaxed!
Oh don't worry, they can come up with far, far worse ideas on their own.
Billionaires sitting around thinking of ways to make money by integrating us completely into computers and software so we can all be part of the recurring revenue streams.
Really creepy.
Really creepy.
I am completely unable to imagine how they'd be able to take away your current ability to get a good sleep.
I still get a good sleep when I choose to. I'm not sure what you're saying.
