On the Season 1 finale of Shell Game, Evan deploys his AI to replace him where it matters most: in his conversations with his closest friends and family.
Really enjoyed this series thank you. Highly educative and entertaining. I learned about it via a review at thesaturdaypaper.com.au The last episode was great and my favourite, with the involvement of family and friends raising the emotional stakes. The last conversation was a masterstroke and I will admit to shedding a couple of tears!
Not a simple one, sorry. You could sign up for a month and then cancel after that, but that's a pain. I say: Just enjoy it, and thank you for the thought!

I was trying to give $20, and it seems like I can’t . . .
This podcast is awesome. I wanted to give $20, but it seems like I can’t . . .
Can you link out the telephone article you reference early on in the podcast?

You need a Times subscription to see the full one, I think, but others have posted the full article: https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/myl/ThisMachineMadeWorld.pdf
Thanks! This is a beautiful source. May read it with my students. Teaching a class on AI
I've also turned it into a Google Doc for easier reading for anyone interested:

Really awesome experiment! 🙏
I was kind of hoping for you to have your AI have a phone conversation with somebody else’s AI.
Excellent episode
