@morty_lin @PropheticAI hard about all the horror movies you've seen in past, most likely you won't hallucinate.
The key is to stay calm, and let your brain know, who is the boss!

@PropheticAI V cool product but should come with warnings. The majority of people I've met who have successfully attempted lucid dreaming experience nightmarish sleep paralysis situations and/or struggled to tell if they were awake or dreaming until they stopped this.

@morty_lin @PropheticAI activate the part of your brain responsible for hallucinations. It could be anything, from gorgeous ponies eating your bed sheet, to your brain trolling you hard by making a 3D thriller right there in your bedroom. If you simply concentrate on your breathing, instead of thinking

@morty_lin @PropheticAI Sleep Paralysis
If you get caught in a sleep paralysis before/during/after performing WILD, all you have to do is stay calm and concentrate on your breathing. You would not be able to move any part of your body, except eyes (If you try to move you body, you would unintentionally

@morty_lin @PropheticAI I would also say that lucid dreaming did get rid of my nightmares, as I was able to change them from scary to fine or even enjoyable

@morty_lin @PropheticAI I’ve never had sleep paralysis, and I’ve had quite a few lucid dreams. There was one time where somebody came into my room and touched me and I woke up and still felt the touch, but that’s the extent of it. But that experience did happen while I was taking a supplement for dream

Haven't posted much about @Pebble Index 01 recently (been...uh a bit in the weeds on PT2 shipping). But lots of progress has been made!
Still need to order one? You can do that here 😉 repebble.com/index
We're in PVT2! Yes, 2 :)
The first Production Verification Test (PVT) at end of March exposed two main problems 1) possible ESD damage during assembly was blowing out the BLE amp on some units, 2) a change we made to the mic waterproof membrane caused some units to fail audio testing. We fixed both with modifications to the assembly line. Things seem to be on a good track now with PVT2!
When will my Index 01 ship?
Our goal is to manufacture the first 2k units by mid-May and start shipping them out. It will take us roughly 3 months to manufacture and ship out all pre-orders, meaning we should be finished by July. As always, these are estimates. Delays may happen!
Brushed Silver
We are switching from offering a polished silver to brushed silver finish! It looks great - photo below, with lots more to come. Head to orders.rePebble.com to switch colours.
Alpha testers
Thanks to some brave souls who've been using early versions of Index 01 and reporting bugs, we've crushed a ton of software issues over the last 3 months! Performance and reliability are starting to be really smooth on iOS and Android.
Software improvements
All open source, of course! github.com/coredevices/mo…
- We added fully encrypted cloud backup (optional)
- Local speech-to-text is working well, thanks to @cactuscompute + parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3!
- You can optionally route audio or transcriptions to a webhook - enabling you to pipe recordings directly from your Index 01 to an agent like OpenClaw
- Our lead engineer also added Home Assistant support (because she wanted it herself!!).
- Added Beeper (text directly from Index 01!), music control (Android only), Notion, Apple Reminders and Google Tasks integration
- Bring your own MCP server
Still working on a lot of stuff - dramatically improved UI, more reminder app integrations (Todoist, Tasks.org), and more.
Tell us - what are you excited to do with your Index 01? Do you have a favorite reminder/todo/notes app that you would like to use with it?

@Polymarket That’s not even a lie he’s just saying that for virality because he knows people will buy his product more if they know he’s a liar haha that’s literally what the product is for

@asaio87 I have the $200 max. It's not that unlimited if you use teams of agents. There is a weekly limit and a six hour limit. I run through the six-hour limit quite often. Although I haven't run into the weekly limit yet although I've only had it for less than two months now.

@asilbwrites Great article!! Important work.
One correction however - the Reddit user quote you put at the top was written by AI itself, not a human:

English

I wrote about the backlash to OpenAI's retirement of GPT-4o, why people feel so attached to the model, and the limitations of LLMs as therapeutic tools: techcrunch.com/2026/02/06/the…
English

@asilbwrites This is quite a phenomenon too - tooons of the comments disparaging Sam Altman on x about ending 4o are written by AI not humans. Which is very strange indeed.

@ShiningScience Fake source - this isn’t real. Confirmed by grok and google. That’s not how you cite a study and there wasn’t one.

🚨 Research shows repeated complaining physically rewires your brain to prioritize stress and negativity.
The way we speak about our daily challenges does more than just vent frustration; it physically alters the architecture of the brain.
When we engage in chronic complaining, we repeatedly activate neural networks responsible for detecting threats and processing stress.
Through the biological process of neuroplasticity, these circuits become stronger and more efficient every time they are used. Essentially, the brain learns to become more adept at finding things to be unhappy about, turning a temporary mood into a permanent biological predisposition toward negativity and fear-based thinking.
As these negative pathways become the brain's default setting, individuals often experience a measurable increase in baseline stress levels and emotional volatility. This heightened sensitivity means that even minor inconveniences can trigger an intense stress response because the brain has been conditioned to interpret the world through a lens of threat. Findings discussed by the Stanford University School of Medicine emphasize that while this mechanism is powerful, understanding the science of affective neuroscience is the first step in consciously redirecting those pathways toward more resilient emotional patterns.
