Your Own Personal Biden ft. Jason Koebler
It's the free one!
404 Media’s Jason Koebler returns to discuss AI in the classroom, Balaji’s private island/supervillain lair, and the growing deluge of AI generated slop by US political campaigns. Not so much in the form of deepfakes or Midjourney memes on social media, but rather by making a larger tidal wave of more personalised spam. Also, we discuss a hot new startup that’s ruffling a lot of feathers on K Street in Washington using artificial intelligence, and (more importantly) artificial names.

Those two could easily stolen a name from one of Rogers personas on American Dad
November’s twice-repeated made up guy, Anthony Housefather, is in fact a real guy, or at least a Canadian MP.

Unfortunately topical school shooting joke :(
No idea what Jacob Wohl and Jack Berkman look like and realized I've been picturing them as Matt Bevilaqua and Sean Gismonte
My name is Oglethorpe Forensic, and I am a loyal member of the grays!!!
Most of these names just sound like 2010s midwestern emo bands and/or Bloodborne characters.

My actual professsional name sounds like a fraud name to the point my first buisness loan with Barclays (no longer with them!) They apparently had me down as a scam warning and refused to help (*｀Д´*)

I needed names for fantasy characters/ NPCs, thank you all.

Riley, Merengue maintains consistency after cooking. Comparing it to RAAC roofs it's a disrespect to the sweet.
horns played in my head at the mention of Gareth Dennis. specifically, the horn of a Class 320 emerging from the High Street tunnel into Queen Street low level station
Can Milo and Nate please do a Britainology on the video game "Thank Goodness You're Here", if it's not too recent a release (not sure what their policy on topic selection is).

Theremin Bacharach announced today they are running for president [gay]
My member of the U.S. House of Representatives is really quite loathsome, but thanks to their age and my district consistently electing them with Ba'ath Party numbers I don't have to worry about ever getting locally sourced AI slop. (Plus I assume I'm placed into the out group hat with his internal metrics.) Thankfully there are many Democrats across the country sending me stuff about tight races in upper New York districts or whatever so I don't feel left out.

Hewlett Packard III; and yes my grand pappy invented the printer
Hewlett-Packard is a defense contractor that historically, incidentally also made other products (but finished spinning those off in 2015). So, yeah, lots of money there. (HP also made both Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina, so HP is also indirectly responsible for Quibi.)

my name is Sophomoric Flubb
Does anyone else who has had the misfortune of working at Explore Learning listening to how this Maths and English "ai" teaching software works think this just sounds like the software we used in tutoring sessions.... Like even the "learning coach" thing is how the tutors work there in that the kids go through the activities on the software and you're just there with the group to answer questions and make sure they're not misbehaving Turns out the shite minimum wage job I worked 8 years ago was actually working with Cutting Edge AI technology
