AI comes to BillWhittle.com as a cyber-pundit sits in for Bill Whittle, and the men of Right Angle struggle to get through another backstage planning meeting. The Bill-bot seems eerily lifelike.

Two questions:
What’s in Scott’s coffee?
What did you guys do to Bill?
You could just say “W-H-O” and split the difference.
The Bill-Bot … I wouldn’t say eerily lifelike. Just eerie. Guess we’re not “there” … yet. The lack of actual reactions made him look either stoned or pissed off and refusing to engage, at all. After a while you could see the repeats in the movements and blinks.
I hope Bill’s topic is deep fakes.
Scott you’re having more fun than an angler should be allowed to have…
I ALMOST expected to here Bill go off like an android on Star Trek S2 E8 “I, Mudd”. “Illogical, Illogical, all units relate, Norman coordinate”
Hmmm, was there something different about this one? Seeing some odd comments.
That was hysterical!
I could see Steve and Scott wondering WTH was going on. 😀
I for one am eager to begin cooperating with our new AI Punditry Overlords.
Hail Vectron!
Bill-bot scares me.
Is everyone in the comments section going to ignore the fact that Bill isn’t real?
Replying in my best AI Bill-bot voice, “You know, I think I’ll tell you about that later.”
Slappy: Who’s on stage?
Skippy: Yes.
Slappy: The name of the band?
Skippy: Who.
Slappy: The band on stage!
Skippy: No, The Band isn’t at this event.
Slappy: *blows something up*
The Producers were unavailable for comment.
My dad always said “What’s this we sh!t, white man?”
New name is easy, Steve: “Cold War 2: Electric Bugaloo”
How many times has Bill Whittle described that kid (Brian Bartells) PERFECTLY on TSL over the last 6-8 years. Again we see the face of the twerp we knew about years ago.
The first and only time I tried to buy a cellphone off eBay (and this was probably ten or eleven years ago, I ended up having to return it because of that kind of tracking. It hadn’t been stolen or anything, but apparently some of the phones were designated for pre-pay and some were designated for contracts. Even though I had a contract already and just wanted to add the device to it, it couldn’t be done because the serial number had a pre-paid designation.
So, yeah. The numbers related to every piece of hardware in inventory was known. They know exactly which devices were stolen (not just phones), and, if they are powered on, they can presumably be traced by location.
For the China story, you could call it Boxer Rebellion 2: Containing the CCP Gang.
I heard that the Chinese military isn’t that great because the one-child policy created a country of self-absorbed mama’s boys. Except parents are scared if their kids get caught by the police there. The latest CCP statement on Taiwan reunification left out the word peaceful this time. Taiwan seems to shrug it off, kind of like South Korea does with North Korea as they hear that kind of talk all the time.
I realized today I never want to be in the line of fire if Bill’s angry. I could almost see the steam rising from his ears. I’ve seen him get angry on the Bill Whittle Now shows, but today seemed like the real deal comparatively.
WHO’s on first? What? What’s on second I don’t care is on third.
Back when the late night comedians were funny.
