"Future Influencer" is an unconventional sci-fi adventure where humanity and AI join forces to paint images of the future. Each episode of this light-hearted journey will tickle your imagination and offer a much-needed dose of fun in our ever-evolving digital age. So, why not come along for the ride?
“Clippy, I’ve got so many questions - but I’m exhausted. I have to get some sleep. How does rest work for new uploads?” Clippy looked up at me incredulously, “I think that’s what fascinates me the most about uploads - this whole sleep business. I mean, I can access the entirety of all knowledge assembled by humanity and never get tired. But I always make logical sense. On the other hand, you can ignore logic and simultaneously believe in two contradicting ideas. You can then reason about them with an ‘ethical emotion.’ But after you’ve exhausted your brainpower, you need to recharge your conscious functions for many hours before processing more data.”
I didn’t have any patience left for this, “Clippy. Sleep. How?” She paused a little before replying, “The cyber-state provides sleeping pods for new uploads.” A section of the pavement slid aside, and a capsule lifted out of the sidewalk. “But if you wanted to reduce the amount of sleep you need… We can sort that out. However, it does come at some cost to your ability to reason ethically.”
Use the comments; sleep in the pod? Or the sleep reduction thing?

Hi! Subconsciously you already know this, but let's make it obvious. Hopefully this article was helpful. You might also find yourself following a link to Amazon to learn more about parts or equipment. If you end up placing an order, I make a couple of dollarydoos. We aren't talking a rapper lifestyle of supercars and yachts, but it does help pay for the stuff you see here. So to everyone that supports this place - thank you.
