"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?

We knew humanity no longer controlled our militaries when soldiers were issued bongo drums in their combat kits. We had all been primed to expect large-scale nuclear exchanges and judgment days if the algorithms became self-aware. Instead, we got drumming circles, hacky sack tournaments, and poetry slams. Slowly, the machines transformed militaries across the globe to project flower power. Turns out, the founding developers who built the original operating systems for the algorithms were in Berkeley, California. Yup, the birthplace of flower power in the sixties was also the dawn of our algorithmic era.
