Instructions for a performance by GPT-3:

An idea for an endurance performance art piece: Sleep around the clock, at least 12 hours. No electronics. No chit chat. No pressure. If I couldn’t sleep until the clock turned over, it didn’t count. As long as it doesn’t interfere with my day to day wellbeing or my work, I am considering performing this piece. You know, if I wasn’t busy.
