HI I WANT TO READ THIS.

NotebookLM was really useful to my friend who has a humiliation kink which he satisfies by erotically roleplaying on Discord: he simply copypasted the chatlogs into the AI input box and received a personalized podcast of two AI voices kinkshaming him.

His primary complaint was that it wasn't longer.

I do not recommend using the word "AI" as if it refers to a single thing that encompasses all possible systems incorporating AI techniques. LLM guys don't distinguish between things that could actually be built and "throwing an LLM at the problem" -- you're treating their lack-of-differentiation as valid and feeding them hype.

I mean, if no one's getting paid, then my preferred price is $0, to everyone in the world.

You're right! There's a disclosure on the page but it's fuckin tiny.

  • high willingness to accept painfully inexact responses
  • high tendency to side with authority when given no information
  • low ability to distinguish "how it is" from "how it seems like it should be"

Meta:

  • default expectation that others are the same way
  • indignant consent-ignoring gesture if they're not
 

The machines, now inaccessible, are arguably more secure than before.

Oh, OK. I think all the VC-adjacent people still really believe in crypto, if it helps. They probably also don't believe in it, depending on the room. I think it will come back.

Put me down for "doesn't think it will end." Did crypto end?

It's the technique of running a primary search against some other system, then feeding an LLM the top ~25 or so documents and asking it for the specific answer.

A friend who worked with her is sympathetic to her but does not endorse her: this is a tendency she has, she veers back and forth on it a lot, she has frequent moments of insight where she disavows her previous actions but then just kind of continues doing them. It's Kanye-type behavior.

The media again builds a virtual public consisting of billionaires of a variety of positions and ask you "which one do you agree with?" This is a strategy to push the public closer to the beliefs of billionaires.

I don't know who these fucking people are. The real public in California still supports Biden by a 25% margin.
