The Ben and Emil Show

It seems like it was just yesterday that those janky videos of AI-generated Will Smith eating spaghetti was all over everyone's timeline. Because in a short two years we've now reached the point of no return: AI generated video WITH audio is now completely indistinguishable from real life. Join us as we discuss some example clips and the implications for this rapidly growing technology -- especially for the movie industry. PLUS, we're talking about the crypto kidnapping and torture in NYC. Wild stuff.

Well well well, if it isn't CHINA. Trying to make a deal with little old US. We always knew they'd come begging for us to buy their various wares and gadgets. And now here they are...TAUNTING us with their dirt cheap shoes, electronics, designer bags, and athleisureware. That's right: they've pulled back the curtain and showed us the Matrix and are offering us poor, brainwashed Americans the chance to cut out the middleman once and for all. But is it legit? Let's find out.
