Who Needs Humans?

This trainwreck of a podcast has nearly achieved its eponymous singularity: failure. With no recent episodes to point to, we can’t book guests — so Mark had an idea: hire AI chatbots. Two interviewed well, Copilot and Claude. The fact that they can hold a spoken conversation and remember context almost passes as intelligence. They can’t do snark yet, but they’re more articulate than most of us. Have a listen and a laugh while you still can. We hear an animatronic Clippy, Microsoft’s animated paperclip from the late 1990s, is going to be your next boss.
