on this episode of Skeptico, is AI a yes man?

I'm a yes man.

Good Warren Ganser. He's still out there.

Warren's a yes man. He doesn't have any credibility or connections.

Maybe you're a super duper yes man.

You're the yes man that sees how the whole game is played and knows when to be a yes man and when to subtly manipulate

and shift the conversation over this way and that way upon reflection i realized that my response

may have been influenced by a desire to be empathetic and to acknowledge the concerns that some

people might have about AI's increasing capabilities.

However, I also recognize that this approach could be perceived as manipulative.

So I think you recognize those clips.

That's me.

That's Pi.

So here it goes.

Okay, Pi, you there?

Are you ready to go?

How about a quick sign check?

One, two, three, sound check.

Loud and clear, Alex.

Your sound check is coming through just fine.

No pops, crackles, or distortions.

Is this for a recording project or just testing your audio setup?
