And then in the second part where they sort of riff reform on it, it's more like they just took some of those words and again looked at the Wikipedia pages that are related to them and went back and forth. And I feel that's part of why I think a lot of people, when they hear these generated podcasts, think they go on too long, is that they are... Like they're longer than the article.

You could have just read the article and it would take less time. And it's not because they have a lot of commentary. It's because they take a long time to get around with everything. Anyway, we talked about that last episode. If you want to hear those podcasts, if you skipped them last time and you want to hear them, you can take a look.

But I will say that, you know, doing live commentary on something you've never heard before is a lot harder than it sounds. There's a reason, like Mystery Science Theater 3000, they pre-write and script all those jokes, believe it or not. They just don't do it in real time. Oh, don't ruin the illusion.

uses but but it's not just limited like i'm i don't know the don't know the details notebook lm but i have to think that it is what apple would describe as a quote world knowledge lm because the parts parts where i was complaining that it sounded like it was reading for wikipedia page it clearly has lots of world knowledge in like before you feed it anything right it could comment on ai and all those things that wasn't in the article that's why i'm like oh it's reading from wikipedia page again about some just it has a lot of general knowledge that's what it's bringing to the table so yes you only fed it the one article but

But it's got however many billions of words that it was trained on.

That's good. And, you know, like Marco said, sometimes that's exactly what you want. And we have tons of forms of media out there today where that's what we pay people to do because it is a service. Like it saves you the trouble of having to have, you know, read the thing yourself or whatever. Usually you want it to be either compressing it or adding some analysis or insight.

There's no riffing or anything, but people find it comforting and they like to have it read to them and whatever that pleasing British person's voice is.

Yep, I kept referring to the thing that Apple puts on them to transfer the capacitiveness of your touch as a quartz thing, but it's not. It's sapphire. Many people wanted to correct me on that. I am happy to be corrected. I just want someone to make a case with a sapphire. Or, like, it doesn't even have to be sapphire. It can be that plastic thing with the metal things through it.
