Prophetic™, a lucid dreaming start-up, proposes that tech engineers could perform site maintenance while sleeping, claiming it could enhance productivity and save costs for employers.
The looming technological solution seems to ignore the reality of overwork, highlighted by occurrences like the deaths from karoshi syndrome, revealing a dark side to the hustle culture.
In the midst of rising concerns about workplace burnout, the idea of using dream-extraction technologies raises ethical questions about the expectation for workers to be productive even in their sleep.
There is a fascist undertone to the discussion of enhanced productivity during sleep, as it bleeds into normalizing overwork and exploitation under the guise of innovation.
