NotebookLM - generate a vapid NPR-style podcast about any topic - The sign is a subtle joke, but what does it REALLY mean?

I mentioned this in the Rekieta thread and was asked to post it here, this was made by mixing the McMenu.pdf(a guide of vintage McDonald's recipes) and all four volumes of the unabridged Journey to the West, and the narrators found a way to connect the two as if they are both equally as philosophically significant.

This is fucking hilarious. Mushing together two or more unrelated ideas is genius.

I tried to link forum threads but it gave me an error that the link was invalid. I linked an engineering forum thread and it worked so idk if it's just trying to avoid this website or it couldn't solve a cryptographic puzzle. I'm a lil hungover so it could be user error

It is actually starting to censor more of what it processes. It can accept YouTube videos now. But for example if I give it Turkey Tom's video on Isabella Loretta Janke, it hangs. I also tried copying and pasting the transcribed text from the video and it still hangs and won't produce any content.

Try printing the forum threads to PDF files and try uploading them, although they may have "fixed" that now so it won't work anymore.

This thing is the best toy ever, can’t wait till I can make “Chakra Attack” from GTA, except discussing Memphis Micros and pig-like truffle hunters.

This tool is insanely powerful and it is only in its infancy. Imagine after this thing has been baking for four or five years.

If they ever create a NSFW version of this thing... a bunch of people are never going to go outside again.

Its interesting for sure but knowing its AI and listening to the more conversational bits really hits that uncanny valley thing in my head. Hearing them reason and discuss past the "facts" presented feels wrong.

Its impressive though.

Been playing with this all weekend. The podcast thing is okay but the text outputs are very good if you take some time and train the thing up on a subject.

I have been making Notebook an expert on a specific type of car that I enjoy working on; plus I know the subject already so I can spot errors and bugfix.

To start, I loaded in several shop manuals from the model of vehicle, plus supplementary manuals from competitor vehicles of the time and the manuals for the cars which came before and after the one I care about.

Next I went to a bunch of automobile forums, copied and pasted the shit out of their relevant topics and started generating results. These forum scrapes are very imortant; they inject casual knowledge of a subject as well as raise discussion points and train the system on how to better "talk" to you.

From there, I spent some time asking questions and saving the best inputs. After gathering a few dozen of those, I collected them in a text file and resubmitted them to Notebook. Don't overdo this, you can mess things up if you feed too much back into the system.

Beyond this point is when the whole thing really started working well. It is like I am chatting with a mechanic and the results are extremely good. The podcasts are neat but that's just the sideshow. When I can have the podcast respond to specific questions with specific answers, it will be amazing. The text outputs that Notebook is currently able to produce with a little work is nothing short of a miracle.

The real key is that whoever is setting the ML up needs to know the subject matter so that they can correct errors within outputs.

Lastly, here are the keys:
1. "Use creative license to..."
This prompt or a version of it will allow Notebook to extrapolate and theorize as it produces an output. It is a game changer.

2. Sometimes a prompt will begin to fail even though it used to work. Try tweaking your verbs and swapping them out with synonyms.

3. You have to spend time working on your ML if you want it to produce good outputs.

I fed it thread on Sophie Labell and got a 12 minute struggle session from Mr. and Ms. HR, don't know what I was expecting. What's particularly uncanny is the fourth wall breaking at 5:55 and 9:36: "the media literacy is particularly important for our listener...", and also "but you, our listener, has brought this to us not to wallow...."
I'm now kinda tipsy about this entire thing, is Google going to momu ogun dronestrike my house now?

A very useful thing, is you can give it a PDF file of any book you want, then ask it specific questions about the book in the chat, then add the answers to the notes if you want. You can ask it to discuss subplots, ask it what the significance of certain things are, ask about how it relates to certain things, etc.

I gave it a PDF of Philip Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, then asked it to compare the Pennfield mood organ in the book to drug abuse:


Comparing and Contrasting the Pennfield Mood Organ with Drugs and Drug Abuse​

The Pennfield Mood Organ in Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? offers a fictional method for altering one's emotional state, while drugs and drug abuse represent a real-world parallel with similarities and distinctions. Here's a comparison:
Similarities:
  • Both induce specific emotional and mental states: The Mood Organ and drugs can elicit desired emotional experiences. For example, Iran, in the story, schedules a "six-hour self-accusatory depression" [1], while real-world drugs can induce euphoria, relaxation, or heightened senses.
  • Both can be used to escape reality or numb unwanted feelings: Iran uses the Mood Organ to avoid feeling the "emptiness" of her building and the world [2], much like individuals might turn to drugs to escape emotional pain, boredom, or harsh realities.
  • Both can have a detrimental impact on individual well-being: Prolonged use of the Mood Organ is portrayed as potentially unhealthy [2], mirroring the well-established negative consequences of drug abuse on physical and mental health.
  • Both can create dependence: While not explicitly stated, the characters in the story seem reliant on the Mood Organ for emotional regulation, hinting at potential dependence. Similarly, drug abuse often leads to addiction, where individuals feel a compulsive need for the substance.
Contrasts:
  • Mechanism of action: The Mood Organ presumably works through technological manipulation of neural pathways, while drugs operate by altering brain chemistry through chemical interactions.
  • Precision and control: The Mood Organ offers precise control over the desired mood and its duration, as seen in Iran's scheduled settings and automatic reset [3]. In contrast, drug effects can be unpredictable, influenced by factors like dosage, individual metabolism, and drug purity.
  • Social acceptability: The Mood Organ is presented as a socially accepted technology, even deemed beneficial by some for its potential to enhance empathy [4]. Conversely, drug abuse carries significant social stigma and is often illegal.
Further Points:
  • The story contrasts the Mood Organ with another form of escapism: owning animals. The scarcity of real animals leads people to value and care for even "fake electric" ones [5, 6]. This highlights the human need for connection and the lengths to which people will go to fulfill it.
  • The narrative touches upon the ethical implications of technology that manipulates emotions. If technology could perfectly replicate and control human experiences, would it diminish the authenticity of those experiences? This question arises in the context of the Mood Organ and its effects on the characters.
In conclusion, the fictional Pennfield Mood Organ serves as a thought-provoking literary device that parallels real-world issues of drug use and abuse. By comparing and contrasting these elements, the story encourages reflection on the nature of human emotions, the allure and potential dangers of escapism, and the ethical implications of technological advancements that blur the lines between reality and artificial experience.

This is good advice and I do something similar.
