- AI’s perfect companion
Season 1 was brilliant (I still laugh when his AI chats with his best friend) and Season 2 looks to be off to an equally great start. Can’t wait to get up at 5:00am and knock out some reports. Hahaha

Picture a nerdy, thoughtful study of the sort of spam calling the Jerky Boys did - where they examined their own motives constantly, and then evolve that by 30 years.

I love the show and the second episode sounds fun but man I’m just being pounded with ads like 25% of the show is just ads. I don’t know. Maybe you should just try to choose a different platform. Is this a iHeartRadio thing?

Season one was awesome, nice to see more! It always made me feel creeped out for the state of the world, but in a good way because this one is made by a person not actual AI

Very cool conversational with AI agents. Evan is showing that yes, AI is quick to converse but is showing that they don’t have critical thinking skills. We still have time 😊.
Ask them specifically what projects they are working on. Make them dig deeper as they are pretty shallow.
