Featuring Jonathan Nyberg as Matthew McConaughey
Seems like it's not the actual Matthew McConaughey unfortunately. What a strange project.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

What the fuck . Let me see if i understand this so some guy is acting like another guy ??? Why ? (I do know who mathew is)
Matthew McConaughey is a pretty famous actor.
And people act like actors ??? Wild . like why ? People are becoming too weird even for me .
Some back of the envelop math. It took about 8 hours 40 minutes to get to 13,800 digits, give or take.
That's an average of 26.5384615384615 digits / minute.
At the current rate it would take ~37,681 minutes to read 1 million digits.
Or 628.019323671498 hours.
Or around 26 days 4 hours.
He's gotta pump those numbers up! Those are rookie numbers!
Crazy times we live in that my first instinct was "what a clever use of AI" only to read the description to see that no AI was used!
It’s easy to do this with a computer and no AI. Just have a recording of him saying each individual number and then get the computer to read the relevant recording while going through the digits of PI. You could have a number of recordings for each number and choose one randomly to simulate variation.
Although that will require some mastery on the actor's part to allow for it to be edited well without special effects
Edit: watched the stream after commenting, since we can't see the actor, there is no need for editing the video, that makes it simpler, true
