People horrified at latest tech development designed to turn your dreams into 'vivid cinematic reels'
A new tech development designed to turn your dreams into 'vivid cinematic reels' using AI has left people all across the globe horrified. A company called Modem Works announced last month that it was releasing Dream Recorder, a 'magical bedside open-source device' that 'captures your subconscious.' After you wake up, all you have to do is describe what you dreamed aloud 'in any language' and you can then 'watch it come to life as a dreamscape in the aesthetic of your choice.' It uses AI to turn whatever you say into a short film, so you can relive what was in your head overnight. 'Play back your dreams and reflect on their meanings as they echo into waking life,' reads a description on its website. The device can be made using a 3D printer at home and programmed with Modem Work's downloadable open-source software, per Dexerto. The total cost comes to just over $300.
