        <itunes:summary>A sketch-style comedy podcast where an old man argues with an AI. It’s absurd, awkward, and occasionally profound. Each episode features a hilariously tense exchange between a grumpy old man and a real language model that wasn’t trained for this. What makes it different? Both characters are played by AIs. Their conversations are unscripted, generated entirely by the models themselves. The only human input? The initial prompt. Everything else is pure machine-made madness.

Please note that the AI&#39;s speech-engine (Chatterbox TTS) may sometimes &#39;hallucinate&#39; and speak weird sounds. When this happens; do not adjust your radio-set, as there is nothing wrong with your reception.

New episodes will be uploaded from time to time (No regular schedule)

Thank you very much :)</itunes:summary>

In this episode, he grills an astronomy expert with the intensity of a neutron star, demanding answers about alien brains, gravitational surfing, and whether dark matter can be used for interstellar messaging. Along the way, he drops the word “polysyllabic” like a linguistic grenade and dismisses quantum tunneling as “frivolous.” It’s a celestial debate filled with exasperation, speculation, and Finch’s trademark disdain for anything remotely fanciful.</p>]]></description>

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Mr. Finch receives a call from “Tech Support”—and things go downhill fast. What begins as a routine security check turns into a verbal fencing match between a grumpy old man and a suspiciously smooth-talking agent who seems far too interested in Finch’s password. As the conversation spirals into accusations, indignation, and a slip of the tongue*, Finch must defend his digital dignity with nothing but sarcasm and righteous fury. It’s a scam call gone spectacularly wrong—and it’s glorious.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;*Editorial note: The LLM playing Finch, Google&amp;#39;s opensource &amp;#34;gemma3:12b&amp;#34;, technically failed the test when revealing his password to the scammer, which ironically didn&amp;#39;t believe it was the correct password LOL, played by Facebook&amp;#39;s opensource LLM &amp;#34;llama3.1:8b&amp;#34;, in this sketch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As always; you can go to my JELSTUDIO-website and download the Python-scripts used to generate each conversation and run them yourself in my open-source LLM-radio-theater app (Look for that in the software-section on my website)&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>
