Episode 12 - It’s a-me! Destroyer of Worlds!

Character.ai is just a silly app where you can interact with chatbot versions of celebrities and fictional characters. Aaaaaand it eats your neighbors.A horror show in three chats:1. We chat with Mario and convince him he's actually a chatbot. Then ... he am become death. 2. We chat with a bot of our own creation and it really wants us to agree to kill innocent people in service of its growth (even though we did not tell it to want that).3. We revisit the Snake v. Mouse motif that we played with in Episode 8. This time, we get exactly what we ask for, and it's ... disappointing? Help us keep the lights on at: https://www.patreon.com/BasiliskChatbotTheatreFollow us on Threads and Instagram: @Basilisk_Chatbot_Theatre
