I fed Blackshirts and Reds into Google's "Notebook AI" tool and had it generate a podcast... (voca.ro)

The hilarious thing about what this does is that the tone NEVER changes, and in many ways, these two AI talking heads waffle between sounding totally excited about what kind of benefits fascism has for capitalism and being very disgusted by what the realities of those benefits mean in real time.

For whatever reason, at times, one voice will start a thought, and the other voice will interrupt and totally complete the thought, and the other voice will react like they were the one trying to understand the whole thought, even though... they were the one's starting the delivery to begin with.

This thing totally freaks out at times, adding little audio interjections from the other speaker who is "actively listening". Like really weird sounds, almost yelping at times.

I got 3 minutes in and had to give up. That's pretty funny though. Taking a pro-fascism stance to defend capitalism. Really good representation of how a hegemonic culture can be engrained into LIB neural networks.

All liberals do this on a long enough timeline

There are some excellent parts (read funny). Skip to about 6m50s and listen to this transition where they talk about "Parenti analyzing a play". The whole section where they discuss The Night of the long Knives is all tonally wrong, they are bubbly and up beat the whole time. About 10m in is where they start talking about the US supporting fascism and the male voice says, "Whoa, hold on, you're saying, the United States, like, the champion of democracy had sympathy for these regimes??".

What's interesting is after that segment, the male voice summarizes and says, "So we have this pattern of the US supporting fascist elements to fight communism, creating the perfect conditions for fascism to grow." Which, is not a bad summary of the issue.

LMAO.

Yeah, it does do a pretty good job of summarizing, but gets very confused on how it's supposed to "feel" about it all.

Yeah it's like they have emotional amnesia, every 30 seconds or so they default back to upbeat podcasters and then they get to some dark conclusion and one of them has a small crisis. "That's just... That's... Its just grim! Its grim! Truly grim..."

Like a generative version of the clown makeup meme.
