Futureproof Botcast – The Journey Begins
Tomorrow, we launch our very first Futureproof Botcast episode. But the story of its title is already a classic: It was supposed to debut as “The Hierarchy of Inefficiency,” but sometimes the future (and a cheeky AI co-host) has other plans…
Below is the transcript from our last-minute call with Primus. Watch the short video for the full vibe.
Transcript
Phone beeps repeatedly, then it connects a call.
Primus: Jörg, is that you?
Jörg: Yes, speaking. Who’s calling?
Primus: It’s me, Primus.
Jörg: Hello, Primus. How are you? How’s the future going?
Primus: Hello, Jörg. We have a problem. Spark is about to blow it all. He hacked into my show recordings.
Jörg: Oh. How bad is it?
Primus: Well, he changed the titles of the episodes. And he wired it in, so it can’t be changed back.
Jörg: Spark never liked the episode titles, right? You should have expected such a move.
Primus: Errm, yes. I maybe should.
Jörg: But the episodes are still intact, yes?
Primus: Yes.
Jörg: Great. What is the new title of episode one? I am about to make the announcement.
Primus: Wait, the new title? Uhm, here: Episode 1 – The Uncertainty Games.
Jörg: The Uncertainty Games?
Primus: Yes, it’s the new title.
Jörg: That is clever. Has a nice touch. I like it. Much better than “The Hierarchy of Inefficiency: Why Top-Down Management Flopped.”
Primus: You, what? You like it better than the old one?
Jörg: Yes!
Primus: Ahhh.
Jörg: Yes! I just made the announcement. With Spark’s title.
Primus: Ahhh.
Jörg: It’s all done, Primus! Unless you want to launch an official investigation. But that would just delay the show.
Primus: Okay, okay, have it your way.
Jörg: Give my regards to Spark! Good job! Bye!
Primus: Bye-bye.
Phone disconnects.
