An AI Event Hired John Mulaney to Do a Comedy Set and He Brutally Roasted Them Onstage
Standup comedian John Mulaney was invited to do a set at a San Francisco event put on by AI company Dreamforce. He roasted them brutally.
What a sweet opportunity!
So who do I throw money at to see this roast, with live audience reactions?
Me too! (I can only wish I could hear the Carlin version.)
"Inside every cynical person there is a disappointed idealist."
The cynic in him would be vindicated by how absolutely shitty things have becomes since he died in 2008, while the disappointed idealist would be heartbroken.
I just searched in vain for any clips. There’s no recoding distributed yet. :(
love John Mulaney
He also thanked the crowd for fundamentally changing the world for his almost three-year-old son, ensuring that he "will never talk to an actual human again."
"Instead, a little cartoon Einstein will pop up and give him a sort of good answer and probably refer him to another chatbot," Mulaney told audiences, referring to the fact that chatbots still have a strong tendency to "hallucinate" facts.
Can't agree. He's funny, sure, but he's also a gigantic piece of human trash on a personal level. I really liked his old bits where he talked about being with his wife and how she stuck with him through his addictions and alcoholism, then he turns around during the pandemic, relapses, dumps his wife, and remarried some lady he met in rehab. Guy is a walking talking contradiction between fantastic stage presence and being a human garbage patch as a person.
You do realize that you can appreciate someone's talent separately from their personal life, right? Like 80% of actors, sports players, and other celebrities are pieces of shit. If I had to avoid all their stuff then I'd have to avoid watching sports or movies or tv. I'd have nothing to do... Pick your battles, ya know?
Don't even get me started on stuff company CEOs say....I wouldn't be able to shop for fucking groceries if I cared what the store chain executives say.
Ya gotta be realistic here.
Why does that even remotely bothers you lol?
I don't know him on a personal level, so I can't comment well on that; I'm sorry your friend causes you stress and I hope you can resolve that.
But relationships are tricky, and sometimes the thing that breaks them is subtle. Please don't judge him on his personal failings as he has found a way to talk through them while he's making money.
You'd know from knowing him, personally, but a disproportionately large number of stage performers suffer from all manner of light character glitches, and if we were flawless ourselves we'd have an easy time pointing them out.
I'm glad you're there for your personal friend. I hope he can come to terms and deal with the stress he's caused his ex-wife, before and now, and ultimately get to where you, his wife, and even he himself, can forgive him. Personally.
Ultimately, he did her a favor by divorcing her.
Oof I didn't realize all of that! Thanks for sharing that!
If they didn't see that coming, they didn't know who they were hiring.
Maybe he was hired by an event running AI chatbot
How much do they pay for these gigs? 45k is a pretty big audience, somebody had to have recorded this.
I'd imagine 200k - 500k would be reasonable, so let's say 2 million dollars in actuality
What’d you expect?
Please please please tell me this was recorded.
I didn't find any video links on the OP's page, but hopefully somebody with a cell phone or something caught it all.
