I've lost track of which recent episode had the suggestion that Richard Dawkins' lifetime collection of books, speeches, essays, podcasts should be used to train a Richard-Dawkins.ai with a ChatGPT or other interactive chat interface. That would allow for readers to query the AI on topics to hopefully get coherent responses that are based upon Richard's thinking and writing.

I think this is a very good suggestion and hope the project is undertaken by a university or Richard himself. I myself have read many of the books he has written but by no means think I can remember all that I have read over the past 10, 20, 40 years.

I received email for the event. I live in Milwaukee and the response process led me to a button for that venue on September 20. I clicked it and ended up on a seat selection page. I selected two seats and paid. Only after getting Ticketmaster ticket email did I realize that the theater was in Chicago!

I went through this process several times to verify the problem. It is in the urls upstream of Ticketmaster.

I now have two tickets to an event in the wrong city and no way to purchase tickets for the theater a couple of miles from my house!
