In Arthur C. Clark’s 1956 sci-fi novel, The City and the Stars, humans left on earth had devolved into dwarf like creatures with six toes he call nebbishes, “Filthy little nebbishes!” 😁The City, an AI, eventually just let them go extinct.

I’m happy to have a “normal” mattress.
I change out my mattress when it starts to assume a life of its own for non AI reasons if you know what I mean….😈
I do know what you mean.

My wife works for a major airline that just finished shifting over to AWS. She came home stressed out like never before. Airlines, AIRLINES! Yikes.
We're not far from this being a reality... 😳😁
