708 - Sydney 9000 (2/20/23)
We give a slightly premature send-of to President Carter. Then, Nikki Haley enters the GOP primaries, WaPo ranks democratic primary possibilities, and MTG reveals she’s maybe the only congresswoman losing money on the job. Finally, we take a look at two journalists who are terrified at the possibility of being seduced & destroyed by Microsoft’s terrifying Bing AI.

Felix, Xanax much?
how did this arrive?
this is definitely from Felix’s fetid tallywhacker of a mind
I’ve listened to this intro 30times
Episode is unlistenable with whatever Felix is on/doing. Rest of the boys carrying deadweight lately.
Oh god no gretchen
MSU released a sadness memo to all the staff and students from the shooting and they had to apologize because it was written by an AI chatbot
Hilarious 😂 🤣😂
Hindu god of TSA precheck had me in splits
Godlike intro
did Felix get his wisdom teeth taken out or something?
He tore his ACL
How much money do I have to donate to the Patreon for the Chapos to do an episode on the movie Computer Chess? AI, free will, the CIA, new age religion, all rapped up in a period piece/pseudo documentary/comedy set in the 80s. Need I say more.
I saw that in the theater!
Glad Matt could patch in from his diving bell
That outro is awesome. Belzer was not fucking around, I’m gonna have to check out his books.
What is up with Matt's mic? Rofl
These SC Valley aholes are so up their ass. Does anyone else remember when they were saying the ai was lying when it was just obviously wrong and fucking up? An interesting tool. Not at all actual sci-fi human replacement, unfortunately.
Man why does patreon not save where I left off anymore I swear I’m listening like half as much because of it
get a podcatcher and use rss
I think Don Lemon probably was aiming to say she's Hailey isn't in her prime...for CNN. That's why he was such a catty honest bitch about that dried up hag.
Jimmy Carter needs to talk to Sidney before he dies, as well as watching Brokeback Mountain.
Congrats, Will. Being an uncle is the best!
Congratulations and love to Lizzie!
You guys got her religion/culture wrong too. She’s not Hindu, she’s of Punjabi, Sikh heritage. Support for Modi is slim there.
My husband is dead All I want to do is ball 🏀
Congrats to Will on becoming an uncle.
felix moved to california to get on the kamala cocktail.
as a pennsylvanian shapiro would increase aid to israel to a trillion dollars a year
What's with the volume rippling up and down on this one?
Thanks to Chapo for dispelling popular Presidential myths. You've done a great service with the three-part series on George H.W. Bush, revealing that he was a dangerous Spook instead of a nerdy wimp. For Jimmy Carter also, the popular narrative about his Presidency is that he was a hapless and earnest progressive, faced with impossible global circumstances and unfairly removed prematurely by Reagan and co. It is great that more than once on the Podcast you have identified Jimmy Carter as the first wave of neo-liberalism in the US, " Reaganism before Reagan" as Michael Parenti termed it.
I’ll have what he’s having
George W. Bungler lmao
Is the ongoing amphetamine shortage the cause of Felix being low energy?
sydney heard me listening to this episode and bluescreened my macbook help
you need to get human semen into the mainframe asap you’re welcome
Just tried to stream Hell of Prez ep. 12 "I've Got An Invisible Bridge to Sell You" in the spirit of Carter about to kick the bucket. Sadly it's unavailable on the youtube playlist. Anybody got an inkling as to why?
a world where MTG doesnt mean Magick the Gathering :(
Whoever trained the AI on Ashley Madison web copy deserves a raise.
The idea grown adults with six figure salaries are being scared by them playing with what’s basically one of those 20 questions keychain games is probably the funniest thing I’ve ever heard.
“Welcome to this world, I love you already” that is the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard. ❤️
Be careful Will the aunt/uncle to parent pipeline is real.
The AI’s are gonna laugh at this when we’re all dead
Biederman is barred out as fuck
felix is high as a giraffe’s ass
One of the greatest intro of all time. Let go Jack
if Kamala secretly did a terrorist attack on DC how much giggling and goofing could she do on camera before accidentally confessing?
She's The Joker.
when a text learning model starts doing sexual harrassement on users it's a startling advance in AI research but when I try to marry someone I just cold-phoned out of the yellow book to do surveys on it's "a firing offence" and "if you don't leave now we're going to have to report it to the police" smdh says a lot about Society
Colorado listener here - once you guys get to know Jared Polis, you will HATE him
Josh Shapiro too, just something uniquely soulless and repellent about our fracking-state dems.
The bot said it doesnt like sci-fi movies, IT HASN'T WATCHED ANY FUCKING MOVIES. It is incapable of watching a movie. This is literally the Chinese Room thought experiment, John Searle and Hubert Dreyfus disproved all this AI shit decades ago. Labrador brain reporters literally talking to themselves, its still just that dumbshit therapy bot ELIZA from the 60s ffs
I want to take this raging contempt and have sex with it right now.
Matt is honoring Jimmy Carter by using a microphone from the Carter Administration
Felix man please go to sleep
Who gave the Felix AI too much xanax
Felix needs a beauty nap Kamala was sounding more coherent
am i the only one who was reminded of the part in Hypernormalization about the Eliza chatbot?
Glad Matt could join the show via his HAM radio. That's dedication!
I know others are saying it, but seriously, what is up with Felix's sudden melting sound on Fetterman? He sounds like he has been awake for 4 days straight.
Im usually sceptical of people whining in the comments of Chapo eps but holy shit you were not kidding, he sounded completely dead for that moment
I was going to note that it sounds like Matt sounds like he was recorded in no more than 8-bit audio but the more I listen it's just all kinds of fucked. Did you throw a band pass filter on him to try to counteract the noise? He sounds like his microphone is wearing a condom.
I dobt know, sounds like Sydney has what it takes for a promising career as a TikTok Psychic
Matt sounded fine, Felix sounded off, but not impossible to listen to like people are claiming. This was a completely adequate and fine episode
I would say it was actually good. Felix still managed to riff and add trivia that was not only appropriate, but surprisingly absent of Elden Ring, Dark Souls, or Halo references.
Carter did such a good job connecting environmentalism to austerity and mass misery that it took the US Holocaust in Iraq and Tesla fantasy sleaze to get maybe a third of the population to think (highly compromised and dubious) green policies make any sense.
Felix what do you think the myth of Prometheus is about
Why is the audio still fucked up in year 7? Love you guys
That intro was gold! Wtf was that? Is Felix playing with the AI again?
it's a 4 year old tumblr meme fed into a voice generator yea
Lol what's happening with Felix voice in this one
He got his hands on a full candy dish of Wolf of Wall Street ludes
sounds like matt is talking into a mic swinging on a pendulum
One time I looked out the window and saw a bird. What the fuck is the point of these comments about sound quality. Yall are weak little bitches, grow the fuck up. Who cares.
Felix sounded like he crashed midway through the episode. I’ve never heard him sound so out of it.
Jimmy Carter was the Ted Lasso of presidents
Felix going full Jerry Falwell Jnr
Surely the chapo benefits package includes a couple of sick days for Felix
That Belzer quote at the end is golden
Fuck this pissant peanut farming fascist fuck, and fuck anyone pretending to glorify his evil ass.
didn’t hear anything you said after peanut, sounds like a great guy!
Yo Felix got put in the MGS4 microwave room
It's now canon.
Matt should talk with the mic way closer to his mouth
hey he's only done 700+ episodes and countless additional vlogs and interviews, he's still figuring out this complicated performance art
Felix xan’d tf out
Totem poles bay-bee
Wish the history boys would do a full spin off so I’d feel less like a fuckass about funding this milquetoast
jimmy :,(
Congrats, Unky Will!
^ most socially adjusted member of the patreon comment community
congrats to Will and fam!
My buds went to Cuba when the embargo was lifted. They brought back some real Cuban rum. One lake day someone poured iced cold Cuban rum over some pineapple. I still bring it up to them to this day. One of the best things I’ve ever tasted
I could have had relations with a Cuban transexual. She looked better than most biological women. Alas my pocketbook had nothing but dust and moths in it... and a small 3x4 glossy of myself dressed in my grandfather's Wehrmacht uniform.
https://transcripts.cnn.com/show/lkl/date/2006-02-01/segment/02 KING: Weren't there lobbyists in your day? CARTER: A few, yes. There were a few lobbyists around. But I think the statistics show that just since the Republicans came to power in the House and Senate, it has greatly magnified, overwhelmingly increased the number of lobbyists. And also the tremendous power that they have, the money they have to dispense, and also the fact that under Tom DeLay, as has been revealed in all the news media, he has almost forced the major companies who hire lobbyists to hire only Republican lobbyists and to distribute their funding to Republicans. This is an extraordinary, recent and dramatic new development. KING: Did you see "Brokeback Mountain?" CARTER: No, I haven't seen it. I watched the Johnny Cash movie on the way over to Crested Butte this afternoon. That Johnny Cash movie is very good, "Walk the Line."
Felix bring back the worlds best joint twitter avi
Good on Matt for phoning in from Antarctica
Pete embraces E.Palestine to radicalized and go populist
The mayor there is a full on MAGAT … he can’t say that he wants lots of federal help but he knows he needs it and Dewine is doing his cloak and dagger act. Weird situation…
Carter was the first president to address climate change. He established FEMA and the Department of Education and the DOE to address Nuclear power. His Panama Canal Treaty prevented a war and he dropped ZERO bombs. I think the guys are rather harsh on President Carter. He wasn’t perfect and had some missteps. He kinda forced the state of Georgia to integrate, and was not as good on civil rights as we would like. And Reagan and scum republicans really did him and all of us dirty by interfering with the hostages, who were released on the day he left office. But he was a good man.
Didnt ask + burn in eternal hellfire + be boiled alive in a cauldron of cum
I'm surprised Felix doesn't know about all of Christopher Lasch's writings defending sports as spectacle. Those are great
Lasch is too edgy for "cool leftists" here. Same with Chris Hedges. I love our boys here, but I know their limits. Pussy ass takes (or lack thereof) on things like Ukraine and pro-nazi democrats, etc. It is what it is. Am I "racist" because I don't support Azov nazis? I'm pretty sure some people around here think so. Pussies.
calling in from the land of fruitie tootie california-style buds 🫡
Couldn’t we settle whether the chatbot is sentient once and for all by figuring out if the reporter actually did the murder in the 90s?
Yea i bet they did it
Lol send-of
I had to check before I said it
Jimmy Carter has lived 130 years worth of life in his 98 years. A true servant. The first rock n roll president, pals with Tom Petty, Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers… A life well lived!
Pedophile (probly)
Endlessly hitting the 15 second jump button and it's just a repeating series of Felix going "Ahh...umm... yeaaaahhhh..."
Shittiest episode in a while. Felix sounds more barred out than Kamala
Ayo it is absolutely wild that biden is shuffling around Ukraine promising to give them 400 million and he hasn't yet stepped foot in fucking Ohio. I'm going to teach my children to hate these people.
Our Big Bad Boy has visited Ohio and that's why I'm voting him in as God king emporer of the US in '24. Like we deserve
I'm smoking that dirt mr biden
I’ve listened to the opening skit about 10 times. I want 57 minutes of that please.
The nostalgia from Matt’s absolutely fucked audio is great
Joe Biden may have never built a house, but I think it's fair to say that he's built a home
Come and get it you hogs! 🐷🐷🐷🐷
Holy shit, I never complain about sound, but Matt sounds like he's talking from inside a flushing toilet.
No Felix has gotta be worse in this one. You're just getting every lip smack and audio pop here.
Ah, you were all in Las Vegas this time 3 years ago. Enjoying my Google memories. What a wonderful time.
You just gave me emotional whiplash
last :(
