Hypothetical situation, if there was a way to induce lucid dreaming and record the dreams as well? Coding doesn't really lend itself to this but advertising, filmography or architecture would benefit at least at the early concept stage.
I agree It's all very sci-fi but if they can make a product that works like they say (sending ultrasounds to target specific parts of the brain to induce lucid dreaming), it has amazing entertainment value right out of the box regardless of its work use.
Ever tried to read something in your dreams? Coding is basically 90% reading and 10% writing. Then you have to insure that shit compiles and runs.
I can't speak for you, but I don't think my brain has a valid edition of the Java Development Kit.
It's like asking a computer in sleep mode to run a screen saver and pretending close-to-random loosely-guided images are result of a rational creative process. Sleeping brain work differently, for a reason. At that point they should put money on AI to improve awake productivity. Programming during lucid dreams is a scam
Regarding entertainment, there is a reason the humans needs to sleep. Disrupting natural patterns creates only issues
