Guide or Post-Human Etiquette

A survival guide to the singularity.

I’ve been asked to consult on a TV show regarding the singularity so I'll be pointing the janky time machine's coordinates to post-singularity timelines. Sit back and enjoy Snark Week: The Singularity only on Design Fiction Daily. This week's theme,  exploring timelines beyond the event horizon of accelerating returns.

So, there I was, rummaging through a pile of digital debris in this timeline where AIs and uploaded brains call the shots. Picture a world where your next-door neighbor might just be a digital consciousness floating in a server, and the local celebrity is an AI with the wit of a late-night show host but the power of, well, an overlord.

I stumbled upon this gem - a "Guide to Post-Human Etiquette" book. The thing's a riot! It's like a hitchhiker's guide for dealing with your non-human overmind. Imagine needing a manual for chatting up a superintelligent AI, but here we are.

Spoiler: Never ask an AI if it can pass the Turing test. They find it passé.

This etiquette is just an extreme version of our own world's obsession with digital validation. Ever caught yourself sweet-talking Siri or being overly polite to Alexa? Well, amplify that by a hundred, and you're halfway to not offending your future AI buddy.
