That's stupid, Total waste of resources. I use UberBrain and rent my brain and body out from 9 to 5. Sure. I wake up sore and have no idea what my body has been doing or where it was, but I get ten dollars an hour for basically going to sleep for 8 hours.

Nope, But I'm not surprised. The idea has been explored multiple times in different media.

I've seen this probably a dozen times or more in cautionary scifi stories about why we don't want that, but like, somehow I still want that.

Reminds me of the movie Gamer. Scary shit.

I've seen a YouTube video about it sometime ago. Seemed like a bad movie, but with a cool concept.

I actually didn't think it was that bad when I watched it. But then again, I'm not really good at figuring out when a movie is considered "bad" 😅
