Christian, who initially thought he could obtain his driver's license quickly, ultimately relented and decided to be satisfied with just the learner's permit. He resolved to take at least a week or more to learn to drive properly before scheduling a road test.
All these time-consuming tasks were fine with Christian since he knew it was a one-time thing, and he would soon be freed from them. However, the real problem lay elsewhere.
Knowing that he would soon allocate his idle practice time to AI programming once his hacking skills become advanced, Christian began preparing the learning materials and identifying exactly what he needed to get started.
And actually, that's where the problems started. To create an AI, he needed three things. First, technical skills, which he could easily acquire from his idle system, so that was no problem. Second, computational resources, which his shabby computer obviously didn't have.
