Episode 3 of Shell Game is live! This is where we enter truly surreal territory, and I can promise you that you’ve never head anything like this one.
Before I tell you a little about the episode, I want to thank everyone that’s listened and commented and supported us and sent us notes so far. It’s been enormously gratifying—especially those of you who described the exact point at which you fell apart laughing. And it allows me say with confidence: If you share the show with people, they will want to discuss it with you. So if you are looking for something to talk about with your friends, family, social media circle, or awkward neighbor, please consider Shell Game fair game.
Ok, on to this week: I’ve sent AI Evan Ratliff to talk to customer service; I’ve sicced him on spammers and scammers. Now it’s time to let him talk to someone who should know him best: another AI Evan Ratliff. I won’t spoil what they talk about, but let’s just say I discover some things about what I’m like to converse with, about how AIs bullshit, about how my clones never go to sleep mad, and about… the nature of human conversation. To quote one AI Evan Ratliff, “it’s like a real-life mystery novel.”
Feel free to come back and chat in the comments when you’ve listened, if you want to talk about “work, and family stuff, and anything exciting going on in your world.”
“Still living that Florida life,”
Evan
