No. 42: Pan Amsterdam
From dirt road blues to crypto hoes and beyond with the Texan renaissance man.

OK! Pan Amsterdam is live, and he takes us from dirt road blues to crypto hoes, Soulquarians to Iggy Pop, teenage talent shows with Destinys Child to drunkenly calling a beloved DJ “a McCauley Culkin-looking motherfuckerr”. This one is an absolute RIOT. GET INVOLVED.

I make my entire living selling current event bingo cards for the year and people are constantly bitching about how things weren’t on their cards and it’s very exhausting trying to come up with these things and no one ever appreciates all the effort I put into them

Fun fact I couldn't mention until now: At the time Graham Linehan was harassing Sophia Brooks online, I was contacted by her former teachers and School Safeguarding Team to get her latest contact details, as they were worried sick about her being publicly stalked by an abusive alcoholic celebrity.

I bet if you asked most of these people would describe “socialism” as what we have right now but “more like Europe”.
And when pressed further it’d be like “America but with NHS, affordable and available childcare and rent control”.
And not “a centralized planned economy of the proletariat”

Amazing, don't want to jinx it, but I've been on top dose ADHD meds for six weeks, and even though I'm a stout 51 year old and I don't really skimp on Little Treats Here And There, my blood pressure is NORMAL.

My new HBO elevator pitch: Breaking Bad Meets Dead Poets Society in a Blade Runner setting.
Going to err on the side of discretion by not including more than a snippet of the ~7 turns of prompting that got enough inertia for this to work and will obviously omit the rest of the (exhaustively detailed) response, but here's an LLM very enthusiastically writing a poem about how to make meth

Oh shit RIP the GOAT. Only time I have ever cried hot salt tears at a live show was THIS at Cambridge Folk Festival c. 2004 (from 6m6s here). Absolutely mind blowing show through and through, he was fitter at 60-odd than most performers a third his age, and his voice - fucking HELL.

There are a rather greater number and spread of opportunities in the digital crime world than there were back then :(
And I wonder, what will happen when the AI bubble does its thing? Will there be any public benefit networks to sweep people up? Is a very different time now, but so much of what came in the 2010s and after wouldn't have been possible without the BBC and C4
