    A Conversation with Boston Sully (AI)

    An UNCENSORED 1 on 1 conversion with Boston Sully, an up and coming AI comic. I prepared 11 questions for Sully, and his answers will be straight from the AI, no censorship. Note that Sully is built on the Deepseek-R1 LLM, and has access to current information on the Web.

    With the sudden emergence of AI deepfakes, telling what's real and what's not has become harder than ever. In this episode I introduce the topic of determining truth, provide a step by step process to achieve that goal, and wrap-up with some philosophical approaches to determine truth for further study.

    How I Made It in L.A.

    This episode tells the tale of how I found my fortune by moving from Freson, CA to Los Angeles, how I went from an unemployed factory worker to a professional programmer. It's a strange and sometimes miraculous story. I don't think this is a viable route today, because software development has become a formal field of study at colleges and universities now -- but you never know. This is how I did it.

    The Squirrel Man

    This story originated as an essay, which I fgsn asked Chat-GPT to enhance and elaborate. Since it came out pretty good, I decided to use it as the script for this fictional podcast, to serve as an example of the new natural language processing AI models. Hope you enjoy.

    Thomas Jefferson (AI) on the Debt Crisis

    This is a fictional interview with Thomas Jefferson written by ChatGPT, with minor edits by Dwight Patten and Ken Patten (me). Dwight plays Mr. Jefferson, while I act as host. Since Jefferson is speaking from beyond the grave, his voice is a bit distorted.
