love John Mulaney

He also thanked the crowd for fundamentally changing the world for his almost three-year-old son, ensuring that he "will never talk to an actual human again."

"Instead, a little cartoon Einstein will pop up and give him a sort of good answer and probably refer him to another chatbot," Mulaney told audiences, referring to the fact that chatbots still have a strong tendency to "hallucinate" facts.

So who do I throw money at to see this roast, with live audience reactions?

[–] kalkulat@lemmy.world 31 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Me too! (I can only wish I could hear the Carlin version.)

"Inside every cynical person there is a disappointed idealist."

The cynic in him would be vindicated by how absolutely shitty things have becomes since he died in 2008, while the disappointed idealist would be heartbroken.

I just searched in vain for any clips. There’s no recoding distributed yet. :(

If they didn't see that coming, they didn't know who they were hiring.

Maybe he was hired by an event running AI chatbot

How much do they pay for these gigs? 45k is a pretty big audience, somebody had to have recorded this.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 3 points 4 days ago

I'd imagine 200k - 500k would be reasonable, so let's say 2 million dollars in actuality

What’d you expect?

[–] ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Please please please tell me this was recorded.

I didn't find any video links on the OP's page, but hopefully somebody with a cell phone or something caught it all.
