	6:31pm HyperDose: sof-ee-uh
	6:32pm Miss G: I'm currently reading "Candy House" by Jennifer Egan who was on this show and so this is all a lot.
	6:32pm queems: goddamnit soffia
	6:32pm Sam: These robots are NERDS!!!!
	6:33pm Doug in MP: (CEO of Hooker Bot 3000 LLC) GOD DAMMIT
	6:33pm Wind: robot sex
	6:33pm Franco Twinkie: Two Hundred Motels was the first major motion picture shot on video tape(later transferred to film) Coincidence, I think not.

	6:33pm Bread and Jam for Frances: Oo my brain can’t tolerate this AI jibber jabber
	6:33pm Hoboken Jack: He's got way more game than I do.

	6:35pm Wind: yea...sam, especially now with theMonkey pox!
	6:35pm Scott Williams: Wait til ya hear Jack!
	6:36pm Wind: Jack?
	6:36pm Scott Williams: Speaking of Jack, hi Hoboken Jack! You're much nicer than AI Jack we'll be hearing from soon.
	6:36pm ?: @Hyperdose..if he was Chand she could ask .."How's it hanging Chad ?" A little punch card humour
	6:37pm Scott Williams: this H&O tune is about Daryl falling in love with the very 1st NYC surveillance bot, installed in Times Sq in 1973
	6:37pm Miss G: LOL ?
	6:37pm HyperDose: There's going to be more robots? 😬
	6:37pm Pax: Here's something else, my cell phone instruction pamphlet shows a picture diagram that points out all the phone features except for this one tiny little pinhole at the top of my phone that looks like the same tiny little audio receiver microphone pinhole at the bottom of my phone. Kind of wondering if that top pin hole is a microphone for spy listening
	6:38pm The Butterman: Queems, I rocked your wake shirt at the aquarium today. They had black lights and WHOA! Lemme tell you…it was the best part of the whole day!! ( other than just hanging with my kid and all). Great job! Thanks!!
	6:38pm ?: Daryl is channeling that earlier car alarm song
	6:38pm Sam: Pax I think you stick a thumbtack in there and it opens up the SIM card or the battery or something.
	6:38pm iiibeat: Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder dogs. Damn it. I meant to say "cats"! Thunder Dogs, Ho!! Damn it. I meant to say cats again . .
	6:39pm HyperDose: Correct, Pax. That pinhole at the top is the microphone that collects the surrounding audio of your environment and flips its phase in-circuit to cancel the noise when you're on a call.
	6:40pm yippie: do you think discogs is social media?
	🤖 6:40pm PaulRobeson1922: Sophia and Hal (GPT-3) Was that really two AI’s?
	6:40pm dale: there's a robot that goes around our sam's club that scans bar codes and takes inventory. it's cool and creepy all at once. needs to be equipped with a flame thrower to be truly awesome.
	6:40pm chris in the redwoods: so, to sum up, Pax, its the entirety of your phone that's the spy device.
	🤖 6:41pm Webhamster Henry: @dale EXTERMINATE!
	6:41pm Zephyr: Dismiss me as a fool but I still think The Tubes (more of a Rundgren record really) “Remote Control” is a desert island disc…..OK. I said it.
	6:41pm Franco Twinkie: There's nothing wrong with black holes as long as you have enough blankets and pillows....and pretzels.
	6:41pm yippie: golden unicorn in chinatown has a robot waiter
	6:42pm Ciggy: I think my cellphone just got excited- it brightened up to its max
	6:42pm Dano59: I need a unit to Sample and Hold ... it's been a while
	6:42pm joe mulligan: what happens when we make ai organisms as good as the ones in our own simulation world?
	6:44pm Tacocat67: the AI on the Rock' Soul Stream is smart
	🤖 6:44pm PaulRobeson1922: So… exactly how many fire fighters will the robots need?
	🤖 6:44pm Handy Haversack: My camera just put tape over me. Scott, is there a number I can call?
	6:45pm Richy4619: always loved this Here Come the Cyborgs jammer
	6:46pm HyperDose: There are apps that restrict the security policies of your device to act as a kill switch for your cameras and microphones. The digital equivalent of tape!
	🤖 6:47pm PaulRobeson1922: Ok Google, Lyrics to BackDoor Man
	6:47pm Wind: That's FUNNY Handy!!
	6:47pm Hoboken Jack: Now this robot guy knows what he's talking about!!
	6:48pm tak: I dropped my phone in the ocean a month after I bought it and the microphone stopped working. This was 3 years ago and I never fixed it, thanks techtonic
	6:48pm ?: he's Jack..Off Jack
	6:49pm Dano59: Cast Your Phone to the Wind
	🤖 6:49pm Handy Haversack: Many thanks, Scott! I am surveilling some pine trees and pond ripple. But I am surveilling the hell out of it. Later on, data sets!
	6:50pm chris in the redwoods: hi, bye, Handy!
	6:50pm _Ike_: Sometimes when a talk show comes on, you get the "MUSIC PLEASE!" commenters, so where are the "talk please!!!" commenters this time around? No? Nobody? Bueller?
	6:51pm tak: !!!
	6:51pm ?: was that Anna from W&B ?
	🤖 6:52pm PaulRobeson1922: Siri, Lyrics to Doin’ Alright by The Fugs!!!
	6:52pm arb: fantastique cheaux scott, loving it!!
	6:52pm The Butterman: I want to do violence to the robot at my supermarket. Creepy stalker asshole just squishes grapes on the floor of the fruit area. Bloodbath.
	6:52pm HyperDose: @Butterman They put eyes on them now!
	6:52pm Pax: @chris itr: when you listen to Mark in conjunction with other sources of technology talk, you come away with the belief that all devices are set up to be spy devices. @ hyper: well that sounds all right to me, just so long that's all it does.
	🤖 6:53pm chresti: Is this REALLY Scott? Or is this a Scott AI radio show host?
	6:53pm Scott Williams: Thanks ARB, can't wait for your fill-in for Blumin tonight!
	6:53pm Franco Twinkie: Thank you Scott. I feel neither frightened nor secure, just kind of a late summertime fitful and sad.
	6:54pm ?: @Butterman...are you sure that isn't Lucy the grape squishing, wine making robot?
	6:55pm LastWhiteRhino: Was this show enjoyable tonight?...YES IT WAS ! Thanks Scott.
	6:55pm Miss G: Thanks so much Scott for filling in for Mark Hurst, who I hope is having a nice time. And you both for the song!

	6:55pm dale: thanks scott - great fun!
	6:55pm Hoboken Jack: Thanks Scott!
	6:55pm Dano59: Fake things become realer than Real things. ... right?
	🤖 6:55pm Bas NL: Thanks Scott!
	🤖 6:56pm PaulRobeson1922: These AI machinations should be tossed in the ocean… when man created the clock he did so to serve the ultimate and now look around… Neil Postman
	6:56pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Scott!
	6:56pm dale: it's scottmon and funk-uncle.

	6:37pm Miss G: LOL ?
	6:37pm HyperDose: There's going to be more robots? 😬
	6:37pm Pax: Here's something else, my cell phone instruction pamphlet shows a picture diagram that points out all the phone features except for this one tiny little pinhole at the top of my phone that looks like the same tiny little audio receiver microphone pinhole at the bottom of my phone. Kind of wondering if that top pin hole is a microphone for spy listening
	6:38pm The Butterman: Queems, I rocked your wake shirt at the aquarium today. They had black lights and WHOA! Lemme tell you…it was the best part of the whole day!! ( other than just hanging with my kid and all). Great job! Thanks!!

	6:38pm Sam: Pax I think you stick a thumbtack in there and it opens up the SIM card or the battery or something.
	6:38pm iiibeat: Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder dogs. Damn it. I meant to say "cats"! Thunder Dogs, Ho!! Damn it. I meant to say cats again . .
	6:39pm HyperDose: Correct, Pax. That pinhole at the top is the microphone that collects the surrounding audio of your environment and flips its phase in-circuit to cancel the noise when you're on a call.
	6:40pm yippie: do you think discogs is social media?
	🤖 6:40pm PaulRobeson1922: Sophia and Hal (GPT-3) Was that really two AI’s?

	6:40pm chris in the redwoods: so, to sum up, Pax, its the entirety of your phone that's the spy device.
	🤖 6:41pm Webhamster Henry: @dale EXTERMINATE!
	6:41pm Zephyr: Dismiss me as a fool but I still think The Tubes (more of a Rundgren record really) “Remote Control” is a desert island disc…..OK. I said it.

	6:42pm joe mulligan: what happens when we make ai organisms as good as the ones in our own simulation world?

	🤖 6:44pm PaulRobeson1922: So… exactly how many fire fighters will the robots need?

	6:52pm HyperDose: @Butterman They put eyes on them now!
	6:52pm Pax: @chris itr: when you listen to Mark in conjunction with other sources of technology talk, you come away with the belief that all devices are set up to be spy devices. @ hyper: well that sounds all right to me, just so long that's all it does.
