One thing I learned from brad pitt is that exert dominance in a meeting, make sure to be eating while you talk, the bigger and sloppier the better -- . also sometimes I get hungry.

It is pretty wild how OpenAI nails this prompt consistenly for lettermeme when done through ChatGPT but just totally fails with Dall-E directly. I am very curious how the balance between apps vs. apis is going to evolve in the AI space.

In the broadcast era, the 'war of the worlds' scary issue was people trusted what they heard on radio too much. in AI-internet era the problem is the opposite / inversion -- which is people now trust nothing.

So the question we land on is how to market this podcast for maximum outrage. is it my 'wifebeater' . 'robots without hands', or some awful intersection of both!

It is particularly interesting the nuance of the sidney sweeny outrage talk track. culturally Kardashian beauty through plastic surgery (accessible to all) is OK. but Sweeny natural genetic beauty (not accessible) is forbidden. (2/4)

This week's more or less is all about outrage marketing. the key to modern marketing is to enlist free distribution from people prone to outrage that you don't care about (1/4)

At a certain point it feels like these AIs are running the nigerian prince scam, and sending stuff so intentionally wrong and ridiculous they are screening for the dumbest of the dumb to scam.
