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.

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.

I don’t understand why people take him at face value when he claims he’s always been a Democrat up until now. He’s historically made large contributions to candidates from both parties, but generally more Republicans than Democrats, and also Republican PACs like Protect American Jobs. Here is his personal record.

Since 2023, he picked up and donated ~$20,000,000 to Fairshake, a crypto PAC which predominantly funds candidates running against Democrats.

Has he moved right? Sure. Was he ever left? No, this is the voting record of someone who wants to buy power from candidates belonging to both parties. If it implies anything, it implies he currently finds Republicans to be corruptible.

  • 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

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.

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.

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