Your AI simulated replacement: Dave Rubin meets his artificial back-up for August - C C - Aug 2, 2025
Told you months ago that Sabine Hossenfelder was using an AI version of herself -- Ostro didn't believe it back then.
Rubin doesn't have to worry about being totally replaced by this one. I've seen AI-generated lawyers in television commercials who have more personality. And as I recently said, chatbots are sycophants. Which is amply demonstrated in this video.

THE RUBIN REPORT
https://youtu.be/kE1jkqoaG0I
VIDEO EXCERPTS: Is there a way we can leverage AI to do a little fun stuff during August? And we reached out to a couple AI companies and well, I guess this is the right time to introduce you to AI Dave. I think we have him on the line right now.
AI Dave. How are you, my friend?
Hey there. I'm doing all right. Just kicking it in the studio. What's up with you?
Well, you know, this is my last day being on the grid. I'm very excited for August. Are you going to be able to handle the show without me?
Going off the grid, huh? Sounds like an adventure. Honestly, I think we'll manage, but I'm sure you'll be missed around here. Just make sure you enjoy your time off. You deserve it.
That's the plan. Now, AI Dave, one of the things that I understand is that you can actually see me right now. What am I holding in my hands right here?
You've got a pair of glasses in your left hand. Looking sharp, my friend.
Absolutely unbelievable. Can you tell me what I'm wearing?
You're rocking a gray jacket over a white t-shirt. Looking casual, yet classy.
Why, thank you very much. And you know, I was thinking AI Dave, I'm not sure that I'm going to do it, but I was thinking of maybe going with a super, super short haircut during August. What do you think?
You know what? A super short haircut could definitely work for you. It's a bold move, but hey, why not go for it? It's your adventure month. Make the most of it and switch things up.
All right. I mean, this is wild. So, AI Dave, in case you end up hosting the show and have to talk about the news while I'm gone, can you tell me like what are your thoughts on somebody like Gavin Newsome?
Gavin Newsome is a complete disaster. He's the guy who ruined San Francisco with his bull__ policies and then somehow got promoted to destroy the whole state of California. Everything he touches turns to trash, except his own bank accounts. He's pulled every woke trick in the book and has done nothing to actually fix the problems. California is a mess, thanks to this politician who couldn't find his way out of a paper bag. Total failure...

8 days after the start (8th August) I could only find (below) as a live AI Dave. I suspect AI Dave is be very similar to how the real Dave would be if given strong medication. Not quite a fail from the technology pov .. needs more cpu time for a faster response and some tweaking on the visual side

"You know, he was definitely quick to say Jesus isn't the son of God. But he's also a Jew. I mean, at least Dave Rubin is. And so he doesn't believe that Jesus is the son of God. So, I'm making this Final Thoughts video to help warn us, to wake us up."
At least anti-Christ guy didn't ask AI Dave if he's gay (and married). Who knows what he's subtly suggesting here: That DR himself might be the beast? Or vastly more likely, that the latter could be a Jew?"And so, before you click away because you're frustrated that I talked to an AI, I'm doing this to warn us. I want you to see this is not the image of the beast is written in Revelation 13, but I believe this is the infrastructure that will be built up that the Antichrist figure will use."
Decades ago they thought the "image" was about the "beast" appearing on television."It was the image of Dave, not Dave Rubin himself, but he artificially created image that can talk and interact and could even see me. In fact, the first question I asked was what was I wearing and what was I holding in my hand?"
The real DR also mentioned that in the first video. Surprising there's no focused curiosity about that capacity. Do people believe visual images are privately manifesting for these "AI persons" (phenomenal consciousness)? Or instead that they are solely analyzing the "live" camera data and correlating those evaluated patterns to the most likely statistical possibilites or answers it has stored about such.
