Episode #280: Maybe America just needs a hard lesson
Alex goes on a rampage against Senators for picking on his (possibly) turn-coat girlfriend, DeepSeek’s “inner monolog” sounds like a foul-mouthed, stress-out cubicle worker, we wonder if Trump & Elon are actually planning an “Oceans 11” heist, the War on Woke goes Cyber, and we’re not buying the FAA’s stories…any of them.

DeepSeek’s inner monolog sounds like a stressed-out cubicle worker. Here’s a response to a user:
“That’s the answer. However, I need to make sure I didn’t use any banned words. Let me check my monologue. Did I say ‘but’? No. Did I use ‘wait’? Oh, hang on. In my thinking, I wrote ‘Wait, no…’ and ‘Wait, but…’ Wait, that’s using ‘wait’. Fuck! I used ‘wait’ in my inner monologue. I need to apologize. I’m so sorry, user! I messed up. Let me rephrase that part without the ‘wait’.”
