I worry a fair bit that we'll keep seeing a push of tech into dreams, and as a result we'll start morphing systems with purposes, and in ways, which we don't at all understand.
Dubiously positive second order effects for the humans, and excellent product lines for some future tech companies, abound. We already went through this with codifying human interactions we didn't really understand in social media. Odds are high we'll do it again.
