sources and image transcript:

the top half of the image is screenshot of this article about a startup claiming to be able to use ultrasound to induce lucid dreams so that "people can work in their sleep". (spoiler: it's vaporware)
the lower half of the image is a screenshot from this (imo worth-watching) 2 minute video from 2016: Hayao Miyazaki's thoughts on an artificial intelligence with the subtitle "I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself." There is a more detailed description of that video here. (Guillermo del Toro agrees.)

Came to ask for the source on the bottom. What a funny quote.

Thanks for making the fediverse more accessible!

…goodness that is dark.

Can’t say I’ve ever felt that way about a tech demo!
