Assume you trust the clone fully to do your current job enthusiastically. Then you do all the rest and relaxation you require.
What do you imagine you'd do next?
(I found this question on this blog which I've been exploring lately.)

Probably I'd do a trade job :-)
That's going to be such a shitshow.
I'd probably banish myself to Mars. Or some total immersion virtual reality, but I guess that only happens if Zuck clones himself too and actually finishes the damn metaverse.

have an idea on how to make it work
plus look how sick this looks 🔥🔥🔥

Why do you need a clone of yourself to do that?
I have two jobs right now.

I've seen way too many sci-fi and horror movies to think this ever goes well.
But if I somehow had reason to believe that nothing would go wrong, I'd spend a lot of time both hiking and reading.
I want to say I'd help out my clone, because I really need like three clones to get what I want done, but I think the point is to get at what else you'd work on.
YES to the open source Canvas!
I find Canvas very useful, but holy crap, even if you subscribe, they still harass you all the time - "for only XX, you could have the premium pack" and stuff like that, blocking your main work screen all the time.
I was thinking about trying to learn Gimp, but it's a little daunting, considering how rarely I use image software.
Beat way to learn gimp is to use it. Give yourself a goal (like making a certain kind of meme every week), then watch tutorials on how to so it. You'll be able to use gimp in no time!
I think you mean Canva? I've heard mixed things and my experience using it mirrors yours. @Scoresby is a Gimp pro. He might have some tips on getting started.
I meant Canvas API which is not entirely unrelated actually.
Oh, ha ha, I did mean Canva. Funny cause I've used both, but Canva much more recently.
My fun answer is that I would write fiction.
However, a more serious answer is this:
Full time SN evangelism. At least for six most months. Posting about what is cool about SN on x, on reddit, on nostr, and LinkedIn. More time at meetups, maybe even more time conferences (Lord help me).
What's odd is that this would probably mean I would spend less time on SN (my clone would get to do it all, which really isn't fair...I'd probably order my clone to do all the above and just keep doing what I'm doing here).
Go fishing... and hunting all day :-)
That sounds dreamy. I bet that wouldn't have to get boring either.
Tengo temor de los humanoides después de ver la pelÃcula, y un clon de mÃ, serÃa horrible 🤯, asà que le pedirÃa que horneara un pastel de chocolate con leche quemada 😋 ya tengo la boca hecha agua, asà que espero que sepa hacerlo y tenga los ingredientes porque yo no se 😂
jaja harÃas de tu clon tu pastelera personal
Yeii 🤣
If he's a clone of me, he'd probably say to me, "How do you know I'm the clone and you're the real one?"
Assume that he accepts that he's the clone?
So, assuming it's a clone of me that inherits all my skills, including mental, physical, and social capabilities, but it has no will of its own (other than to make decisions so as to carry out the tasks I give it), and it has no legal identity of its own (so that all the benefits of his work accrue to me)...
I'd set it to:
I'd still do my research and work on my own side projects. Part of the joy in that is the knowledge and skills you gain. It wouldn't really be the same if I had someone else do it on my behalf.
By setting it to do tasks 1-3 above, I free up more of my time and also boost my own finances, while being able to focus in on the parts of my work that I actually enjoy, as well as freeing up time for leisure and other projects.

That probably wouldn't take very long. How about after?
What do you like about https://visakanv.com/marketing/questions/?
Also, I had saved the link above, and then tried searching for it in the stacker news search. But I couldn't make it come up.
That blog is full of interesting questions.
If I could ditch my wife and kids for about a year, I will most like to travel around the world, make friends with the locals, test my mettle when difficulties arise, blog about my (mis)adventures and generally be a connector across cultures.
If that clone were to take over just my job, I guess I would like to spend more time reflecting and penning thoughtful pieces. Sometimes I write things in a rush because I have two kids clamouring for my attention. But if I wait for the perfect conditions to align, I will never get to write at all. So, I guess I want to be introspective more leisurely and luxuriously
I'd sit and observe the clone.
Besides two chicks at the same time?
Most jobs inquire much research in beginning then every thing comes to routine.
Am already doing exactly what I want to do - thanks to Bitcoin.
Why would I want to enslave someone to do what I do?
Anyway… if I could keep my earnings without work I probably would work to profit twice of my earnings.
Probably end up feeling bad for my clone and offer him to go halfsies on the work week so we can both have free time
If I knew my clone would handle my current responsibilities with care and skill, my next step would be to deliberately explore the work that exists beyond my existing routine. I would use the freed time and energy to immerse myself in the kind of deep learning and creative thinking that often gets pushed aside in the rush of daily tasks.
The real advantage in such a scenario is not simply rest but the possibility of engaging in higher leverage activities. I would look at new opportunities more intentionally, spend time cultivating relationships, and experiment with ideas that have long sat on the shelf waiting for attention.
This kind of thinking prompts a bigger question: How often do we postpone the work that might truly move us forward because we remain tied to what is urgent instead of what is important? If the clone takes care of the urgent let the original expand into the important. That shift in focus might be the most valuable outcome of all...
