CyberFuel W/E Bonus: CP Character Insights for Defining Identity

Join us in the weeks ahead as we explore a unique set of stories and offer our Cyberized take on well-known characters and archetypes regarding how they can inform our journey to self-define our own identities in a tech-fueled world!

CyberZen Fridays 10.02.20

Will AI take over the world? We’ve heard it for years now from all the major news sources in 2017, in 2018, in 2019, and yes in 2020?

The question though is misguided. As we seek to redefine our cyber-selves, we should be asking better questions.

Today’s Thought…

For those wishing to dive further down the rabbit hole and go beyond the question of “Will AI take over the world,” we suggest two great articles: Who Will Win the Race for AI? published by getpocket.com and The Welfare State Is Committing Suicide by Artificial Intelligence published by foreignpolicy.com.

While the answers may be wide and ranging, one thing is for certain. As informed and engaged users, we should all seek to learn from each other every day about the technological changes facing our world. Better yet, become critical contributors to the discussion! Share and reflect below!

A final thought, though we are neither sponsored by nor directly endorse anyone, we love the idea that a free people should not only think for themselves but should be able to discuss and create new tools for each other to build upon and hash over.

With this in mind, we’d love to share a link for Canva. We use it. It is free to use for individuals and small teams; we love the idea that our community has yet one more way to express themselves and design their digital worlds. Signing up and using Canva will aid both our causes and continue to give us yet another outlet to help fuel our Cyber passions.

As always, we thank you for joining our CyberZen Fridays, and hope you come back soon for more great content! To discover more pure inspiration and entertainment to keep us passionate about our tech lives, check out our Cyber-Play page.

Every Friday, BCB Cyber’s Play Blog posts are our source of inspiration, entertainment, and play in tech for all. On Fridays, we wax and wane philosophical, but mostly play. Because this site is for us, the masses, we need something different. So we play in tech and cyberpunk.
