an ai podcast covering ted kaczynski 😂
Anyone with a functioning brain can tell the entire Theranos story isn't what it seems. This notion that all of these made guys right at the heart of the US power structure were just so bamboozled by Holmes & Theranos they couldn't wait to hand over millions in cash is, quite frankly, ridiculous. A child could tell their blood testing concept was so fundamentally broken from the very beginning so don't ask me to swallow the likes of Kissinger and James Baker were somehow mesmerized by Theranos like Mowgli was by Kaa the snake in Jungle Book. Likewise, it was obvious the mischievously conspicuous Holmes was being pushed out in front of this mess like a bright, shiny object capturing the attention of a crow when Balwani was clearly the eminence grise both investigators and the media should have been applying the thumbscrews too. As for them retaining the services of that attack dog, David Boies, whilst the whole company was sinking beneath the waves ... that's a story in itself.
I enjoyed this but is this an AI talking? The voices felt a little bit not real . Still good content
ai talking to ai, oh how far we´ve come
Poster says Callaway. Come on.
I don't think Spacey reputation is damaged, because of the allegations. The general consensus is they are false and unworthy of futher attention. I think it's quite damaged because of his reactions to the scandal. Even the arbitration award was about breaching the contract which he did leaving the set without futher explanation. First terrible unloyal publicists, now lack of any... But once you look into trials it's more fascinating story than many thrillers. In fact they will be award winning movie scripts based on the court transcripts alone. Spacey is already a legend and far from disgraced one.
Sounds like AIs...
Thanks for the forecast! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
You're doing a fantastic job! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
This AI garbage "deep dive" is riddled with inaccuracies, misrepresentation, opinion/POV and yawning omissions. This says a lot more about the state of mainstream liberal opinion than about Fuentes. An example: Fuentes "disrupted" TPUSA events -> he used the QA segments to ask embarrassing questions from the "debate me bros" at TPUSA. And it goes on and on. Just NPR-level polished propaganda. He uses "telegram and gettr." No, he's always been banned from gettr. He did create his own platform, but this is ommitted, so as not to promote that platform. And the errors go on and on and on.
Their mother never pleaded for their safe return.
Her name is Vallow not Daybell.
This was terrible.
I’m like 90% sure you made a script from AI in order to make a short 15 minute video then put AI voices over these characters then used an AI image art generator to make your thumbnail and that you aren’t actually two people you’re trying to use AI to make podcasts for you to make money. Tell me if I’m on or off base there.
Spot on. Except about the money. This is a bit of an experiment…
@ do everyone a favor and cancel it nobody’s watched your videos this last month except for the occasional one to 10 views if you had any balls or dignity at all, you would close the channel
Any particular reason as to why? Am I breaking RUclips rules?
@@griftorgift no your just a blight on the site
Well done--a thoughtful, well-researched, articulate verdict on Prigozhin. You deserve more subscribers and viewers. I'll pose a "conspiracy theory": I don't believe the Kremlin that he is dead. Remember, initial reports were only 8, not 10, killed in the plane explosion and a 2nd plane ended up in Baku, Azerbaijan, which would be a good place for Prigozhin to flee, since Armenia is on good terms with Russia, but Azerbaijan is not. There have also been a few "sightings" of him since then. At the moment, I believe that Prigozhin is the man that the Bible calls the Antichrist. I believe that he must be a Jewish military man and Prigozhin certainly fits the bill. I expect him soon to "resurrect" and take down Putin and come S with his army against Israel after she has expanded into S Lebanon, into Syria past Damascus and onto the E Bank (Jordan). Time wil tell.
This is a.i CIA channel
Carlos Chosn was charged with not reporting income which "get this" HE NEVER RECEIVED. He SUPPOSEDLY did not report his FUTURE income correctly. He was put in jail without any trial and unable to speak to anyone not even his lawyer. This is Japanese Law, guilty until proven innocent. I worked with Greg Kelly. Greg Kelly is by the book kind of guy. This was a railroading of Chosn so the Japanese can take back control of Nissan. Not a question. Retired 32 year of service Nissan employee in TN.
This dude strangled a man on live stream last night for bringing up the allegations lol
I think ty suspect as well. However, hip hop came from the black community so stop it. Puerto Rico has nothing to do with hip Hop. They just enjoyed hip hop just like every other culture and ethnic group. They did not create it!!! You make him look legit.
I'm also sure I heard a glitch with the word 'exactly'
It is generated by AI. The topic of grifters is of great interest and this is an outlet for me while I do the research in the background. In other words, I don’t have the charisma and talent to read the script.
Is this a human podcast? There's a back n forth, yet their speech doesn't overlap when you expect them to laugh together. They take turns in a robotic way. Also, most podcasters have names. None are listed on the description page. This is an aimless conversation with vague statements, not a deep dive.
Seriously, anyone who has paid attention to Vivek would know for sure he’s genuinely the real deal. He and Elon are actually leading DOGE as volunteers…this is a classic way to tell someone really believes what he says. On top of that, he’s done countless hours on a variety of podcasts with people who asked deep questions…no one can hide who they really after that type of exposure. Vivek is NOT a grifter, he is clearly gifted.
I agree with your point. The purpose of this podcast is to shine some light on the nuance of these people that get vilified by certain groups. Thanks for the comment.
@@griftorgift Oh gotcha! That makes total sense. :)
Thanks for the forecast! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
You are not entertaining and your bias is obvious. Quit now
As a fan of cinema and pop culture Critical Drinker and his set of 'critics' are just boring. They complain about the same things, make the same points over-and-over again. They don't have anything insightful to say. These are people who hail Aliens and Terminator 2 as classics, which they are, but I believe if they were released today Critical Drinker and others would be bellyaching about them being 'woke' and taken over by 'strong women.' That form of 'criticism' is easy, you can make any film sound 'woke' if you put a little thought into it.
