SUNNY TECH
New podcast weblogThe podcast is set within a simulated 4D interactive model inside several quantum computers of Mikkigarmi, a technology company. Mikkigarmi has developed a B2B business model that encourages companies to use their models to run tests. The Soraya Zinariya, where the podcast is based, is a model of a modern-day African city-state, transcending the traditional notion of a modern city. The show ”Sunny Tech” is broadcast once a week on the sole radio station (currently) in Soraya Zinariya, known as Soraya Zinariya Radio 102.5 SRN or affectionately called ”Scissor FM” by the locals. As the city’s mouthpiece, the radio station is situated within a glass studio in the heart of the city’s busiest market. It’s crucial to recognize that this podcast is not just a representation of a live show but a fictional drama meticulously crafted by a single author, Nicholas Glean, a Senior Lecturer at the University of Sunderland. This work delves into the creative potential of AI-generated content, sparking a profound dialogue about the blurred lines between reality and simulation.
