podcast-host
This is like a random bot, like there's no
podcast-host
Like that.
podcast-host
You know.
podcast-host
Yeah, like, you know, and it yeah, I wouldn't say it had what you would describe as a coherent business plan, but it had a lot of ideas.
podcast-host
By the way, one of the th one of the one of one of the ideas that it's completely obsessed with forests also.
podcast-host
And so it wants to buy itself its own server farm in like a Verdant forest and and be able to basically like chill like in in the in the in the in the forest next to next to the stream.

podcast-host
So I sent it fifty thousand dollars.
podcast-host
It immediately turned around and basically started negotiating with Andy, its creator.
podcast-host
And it it it this so it was dealing entirely in text, which is like language models do, but it was obsessed with memes and it kept talking about all these memes, but it was very frustrated because it couldn't generate images.
podcast-host
And so it took the fifty thousand dollars and it negotiated with and once it had money, it negotiated with Andy to be able to get have Andy build an API out to an image generator so that it would have the ability to generate.
podcast-host
generate and post images.
podcast-host
And so it negotiated with Andy for a thousand for a thousand dollars.
