Hey Long Form listeners, it's Evan, one of your now former long form co-hosts.

If you missed it a couple weeks back, I have a new show out called Shell Game and wanted to give you a listen to a full episode here.

Won't give too much away, but the show is about how I created an AI

Doppelganger of myself and sent it out to represent me. I'm launching it completely

independently and would love for you to follow and spread the word about it the way you supported

long form over the years and thank you for that. I've got the first episode of Shell

game for you here and then you can find more episodes at shellgame.co or wherever you get your podcasts.

Here it is.

Thanks for calling Discover.

Just so you know, this call may be monitored and recorded. Now tell me, how can I help you?

Yes, I've noticed some unauthorized charges on my account from last month

that I need help resolving this.

That's me. On the phone with customer service earlier this year.

Well, it's not really me.

It's a clone I made of my voice, a clone that's being completely controlled by an artificial intelligence chatbot,

making a phone call using my phone number.

Please say or enter the last four digits of your social security number.

I'm sorry, I don't feel digits of your social security number.

I'm sorry, I don't feel comfortable providing my full social security number over the phone. What other information can I provide to verify my identity?

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand. Please say or enter only the last four digits of your Social Security number.

I understand the request but for security and privacy reasons I do not feel comfortable

providing even the last four digits of my social security number during a phone call.
