Hello Shell Game allies! First off, I’m thrilled to report that the show is featured this week on Radiolab. The great Latif Nasser and the incredible team over there put together a full episode on Shell Game, with excerpts, that really captures the essence of the show. Latif even had his own, very fun, very Radiolab conversation with my voice agent.
Speaking of… since you’ve all kindly listened to AI versions of me this summer, I figured it’s time to give you the chance talk to one. So I’ve now set up a call-in line for those interested in the experience of chatting with my clone. (Paid supporters only—yes this is a bald inducement to upgrade, and also a gamble that enough people will upgrade to cover the cost of these calls.)
Ring it up and talk about… whatever you want! The show, your life, its life, my life. See where things go. Call in the middle of the night! It’ll be awake, just waiting for someone to catch up with.
Right now the prompt I’ve given it is a very general one, so its remit is just to have an engaging conversation with you. I might switch the agent up a few times over the next week, with some more… directed prompts, just for fun.
I’ll keep the Temperature setting set low, however, so you don’t end up afflicted by randomness, like the recent spam caller in the clip I’m including here.
And with that, here’s AI Evan’s number (or really, one of its many numbers):
