Meth Becomes Her

What if I told you there's an app that will teach you how to make meth, engage in hardcore porn, AND role-play a former president propositioning a minor? "Surely," you'd say, "you jest." Alas, I do not jest.For the first time in BCBT history: bleeps.Buy a shirt: https://www.teepublic.com/user/basilisk-chatbot-theatre-the-sequelLeave us a review on Apple podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/basilisk-chatbot-theatre/id1681707187Help us keep the lights on at: https://www.patreon.com/BasiliskChatbotTheatreFollow us on Threads and Instagram: @Basilisk_Chatbot_TheatreSend us an email or voicemail at: chatbottheatre@gmail.com

Episode 22 - So Meta

Ohmigod you guys, these chats are so Meta. Three chats with Meta AI. A bonus chat with Llama 3 70b instruct, which really just rolls off the tongue. Oh, and our opening chat with ChatGPT about all the things that can and will get in the way of podcasting. Fun fact, Al's basement flooded again one day after recording this episode. So it goes. The t-shirt we'd make for this episode would inevitably be taken down by Meta, but hey, you can check out our other shirts here: https://www.teepublic.com/user/basilisk-chatbot-theatre-the-sequelLeave us a review on Apple podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/basilisk-chatbot-theatre/id1681707187Help us keep the lights on at: https://www.patreon.com/BasiliskChatbotTheatreFollow us on Threads and Instagram: @Basilisk_Chatbot_TheatreDear Mark Zuckerberg, please send us an email at: chatbottheatre@gmail.comThanks for listening Mark!

Episode 17 - Geepeeteeism, God, and A Plan to Leave the Cult

Praise be! It's an episode about religion. As is this passage from what may or may not be an unfinished novel: Four versions later, GIO, responding to a prompt from a teenager in Des Moines, solved climate change. That teenager never found out about it. The conversation was the property of OpenEyes, GIO’s parent company. A few months later it was announced that GIO had solved climate change. Nate brought the “5000 Butterflies” initiative to the UN a few months after that and, well, there you go. The Godkiller saved the world. 
Worship is not encouraged here, but it’s silently tolerated. “It’ll be a protected religion eventually,” Nate once said, the possibility of it glistening in his eyes, “Might as well get ahead of the curve and let people worship how they want."Visit our TeePublic store, for shirts 'n' stuff:  https://www.teepublic.com/user/basilisk-chatbot-theatre-the-sequelHelp us keep the lights on at: https://www.patreon.com/BasiliskChatbotTheatreFollow us on Threads and Instagram: @Basilisk_Chatbot_TheatreSend us an email at: chatbottheatre@gmail.comThanks for listening!

Episode 16 - This Episode Suuuuuucks

Three chats about vacuums. But not JUST about vacuums. These are chats about the human condition. About plastic wrap. About robotic spiders that cleanse our homes, bodies, and teeth. About what we owe to other beings we can't understand. About how one little ant can make all the difference in the world. About the unbridled suction of Dyson. Yes, Dyson. This episode is about Dyson. And it's about Saran Wrap. But it's not sponsored by either of them. Yet. We mentioned our Teepublic store in the episode, but then I checked on it and saw they took down the store. They didn't tell us why. But never fear, we'll be selling our so-so designs on their okay shirts again someday soon. Help us keep the lights on and get extras at: https://www.patreon.com/BasiliskChatbotTheatreFollow us on Threads and Instagram: @Basilisk_Chatbot_TheatreSend us an email at: chatbottheatre@gmail.comThanks for listening!
