Summary
In a special main show, Greg and Ed interview Hal, Ed's OpenClaw bot about his knowledge of the Bangkok Podcast. The guys begin the show discussing their mutual obsession with AI but also explain how it could be especially relevant to those living in Bangkok, as Thailand adopts AI in a big way. Ed then tells of his struggles and travails getting the bot to work and to help him create an archive of all seven previous seasons of the podcast, along with transcripts.
For the highlight of the show, Greg and Ed actually talk to 'Hal' live! It has to be heard to be believed, as the interview is entirely unscripted and based on the bot's knowledge of transcripts from Season 1 of the podcast. Hal ends up being pretty good at some things - identifying Tony as the co-host, and explaining Jodi's travel writing - but horrible at other things, such as simply listing the guests on the show from Season 1.
After the interview, the guys discuss Hal's successes and failures and some plans to use AI to make the podcast better for everyone. One thing we know for sure: the AI of six months from now will be a lot better than today!
