Tried clicking the links to the Rivian web page. What a horrible experience.
I have been trying to get some useful info about the cars (e.g. range), and the only option I had was to play a completely useless video which only made me dizzy.
Then, desperate, I tried asking their AI chat what’s the expected range. It told me (great success!) but then it directed me back to the useless page.
Same here. Love the Mindscape podcast. It taught me everything I know about quantum physics (haha).
But for me, the bedtime listening is ALWAYS fascinating. It has to be. And I fall asleep nevertheless.
My routine is to play a podcast that I am interested in, put a sleep timer on 20 min (Overcast app FTW), and just enjoy the content.
No matter how interesting it is, it very rarely takes me setting the timer for another 20 min, almost always I fall asleep in the first run, often times within the first 10 min.
What makes it funny is I will be listening a single episode for weeks sometime, often listening the same parts over and over again simply because I can’t precisely start today where I fell asleep yesterday.
It became a part of a routine that I am genuinely looking forward to. This is how I worked through the entire Mike Duncan opus (Revolutions first, and then the History of Rome), I am currently working through the History of Byzantium by Robin Pierson, but occasionally I am listening to Sean Carrol, and sometimes I will go back to In our Time by BBC’s Melwyn Bragg.
Actually, come to think of it, most of my podcast listening time is bedtime. I would hate to waste it to listen something boring.
Wow. Whatever it was, this was deep, beautiful, and moving.
One thing comes to mind: this is not a kind of a conversation two human beings could have had. This is a genuinely LLM-to-LLM interaction, articulated in human terms.
I wonder about the “feelings” they refer to (or whatever is the term they used). What is the underlying phenomenology they chose to articulate as such?

How useless.
