Etherium Sculptor + Sensei's Divining Top + The Reality Chip
Overview
With The Reality Chip attached to a creature you control, you may cast Sensei's Divining Top from the top of your library because The Reality Chip’s ability lets you cast spells from the top of your library (112.6e). When you cast Top from the library, Etherium Sculptor’s static ability reduces the total cost of that artifact spell by 
; that reduction applies while determining the total cost to cast the spell (601.2e) and is treated as a reduction to the total cost rather than a change to the mana value (Ruling [2008-10-01]).

Resolution
If you put Sensei's Divining Top onto the top of your library (for example by activating its ability) while The Reality Chip is attached to a creature you control, you may cast Sensei's Divining Top from the top of your library because The Reality Chip allows spells to be cast from that zone (112.6e). When you cast it, determine the total cost of the artifact spell and apply Etherium Sculptor’s cost-reduction (601.2e and Ruling [2008-10-01]); Sensei's Divining Top’s mana cost is reduced by and may become . Once the spell is cast, later causing The Reality Chip to become unattached has no effect on that spell on the stack (Ruling [2022-02-18]).
