Wow! That AI podcast-enstein was kinda scary. Not sure if it’s good or bad scary. But wow.

Isn't that wild? Listen to a few of them and the falsity becomes more obvious, but I think it's pretty impressive on several levels.

Oh yeah. It seems like the algorithmic patter would get old fast.

Thanks Frank! Still warming up my writing muscles on this project, but it's nice to have the first piece out the door (a bit like the relief of finally deciding what to put on the first page of a brand new sketchbook) :)

The piece reads a lot like an LKT episode. Presumably, you have to write those before recording. So, does the process for this feel quite different?

It's somewhat similar, but I write LKT episodes to sound good when read aloud, while this was meant to be read by the recipient. But I'm also trying to loosen up a bit for this project in the sense of allowing myself to make more predictions and speculations (alongside reporting of facts and analysis purely based on those facts)—which is something I do only very sparsely in LKT, but which I think can be valuable for some subjects

It would be really interesting to do some meta-pieces later looking at how predictions and speculations turned out :)

I'm super into this idea, and will try to remember to do so :)
