Y'know, this leads me to thinking.

We're all talking about AI taking everything over because of how much faster, more performing it will eventually be.

But what if, somewhere down the line, there's a future where we advance biochemistry and transhumanism to the point where we actually can be a challenge to these AI?

It sounds like this sort of thing could lead there. I most certainly hope not - but it's not impossible at this point, is it?

Side note - I really hope that it won't happen and that we'll use it for things that matter, if it's safe - like emergency service employees being able to take a dose for emergency in emergencies - like these firefighters who had to do a 36-hour shift.

(Another side note: I really wonder what effects this has on sleeping and the body. Because I'll be honest, I'm straight-up TERRIFIED of the prospect of a no-sleep pill.)
