I fed my resume into this thing and I can't stop laughing.
"You gotta be good. You gotta be top notch."
"It's like he knew what every team needs before he even applied."
Man, oh man. Comedy gold.
I also haven't seen another country (in Europe at least) where politicians across party lines so frequently emphasize in so many ways how great their country is - not even in a jingoistic way, just as a shared cultural consensus.
The algorithmic overlords have long favored "trends" or more seriously content regurgitation. At first it was "have to post something about $topic". Then it was reaction videos. Arguably negative value add content. Then it was all fed back to algorithmic content regurgitators (LLMs) which flood the internet.
The beauty of this recording is that it sounds convincingly like a podcast. It has the podcast-style pacing, over the top praise for the most mundane things. It highlights how narrow is the mean this "content" has regressed to.
It's comedy. Comedy in absurd, but still comedy.
Now that you mention it, that does fit what has at this point become the primary podcast style so I guess it's actually being surprisingly realistic because the thing it tries to mimic is already so artificial.
It's form over substance all over the place. I absolutely love this TED talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8S0FDjFBj8o
The more pseudo-intellectual consumerism infiltrates our collective psyche, the more the substance becomes irrelevant. Nuance requires thinking. "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong" -- HL Mencken. But knowing this answer makes you feel smart.
2. To me personally, it’s extra funny because it’s two people breathlessly discussing.. me.
3. The strange turns of phrase (“That’s Masto”)
4. The stuff it makes up. I’ve never touched the guitar, but apparently I “shred”.
If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.
Sounds like a (unironic) linkedin post
It has some of this quality.
But it's just a super positive spin on the most mundane of topics. There is an emotional play here that you would not normally see in a "resume".
It's like the wrong emotional subcarrier on the topic that is jaring...
It's fascinating. This tech can extract a template for a typical podcast, extrapolate from a mundane CV, plug that to the template and produce a podcast script that your typical copywriter would.
> But it lacks any insight, not even a rehashed conclusion, and doesn’t really seem to integrate the knowledge
Is it the GPT that is lacking here or the source material it learned on converges to this?
The whole point of grand innovations is that they took years of focus on something not very likely.
Like the iPhone. In the 90s could you imagine electronics that literally everyone had in their pocket with _almost no buttons_. Or in the 70s, could u imagine everyone having their own personal computer?
Even in star trek, communicators had buttons.
"Talk about communication skills!"
It’s so good. I’d honestly listen to them talk about your career for 5 episodes lmao
