Write your feedback on the AI-generated short podcast as a reply to this specific comment, please. Feedback on this is important, so gauge if I should keep doing it to everyone, or just to myself and a close friend.
I have significant hearing loss, so trying to listen to audio is an exercise in futility for me. Also, it's much easier with print to stop and reread a statement or paragraph for clarity. So if you decide to podcast, I hope you also continue to write.
I’ve been following you for a long time and I definitely missed your “style” when listening to the AI podcast :)
However, I think the podcasts could be extremely useful in the following ways:
1) a good resource if I feel I don’t have time to read your full article at the moment
2) a useful summary if I’m having trouble comprehending part of what you’ve written. Likewise, the podcast could be super useful for anyone suffering from Covid induced cognitive impairment LOL
Wellll.... I am not a fan of AI overall due to long term implications of the dehumanizing aspect... and in spite of their promises that it would simplify life, it has only added stress and consumed more time (try changing your address with the dept of motor vehicles, or correcting one penny on an expense report!)
However, I was pleasantly surprised at how this use turned out. I read it first and thought I'd have to go back and pick through it to grasp the kidney/D relationship but after listening I found the simple and concise explanation sufficient. I would always want the written word so that I can print and file away but this was helpful for the non-science person that I am.
I'm also all about saving time so it was a big plus that I could speed it up. ( As the Bible says - redeem the time for the days are evil. I think you're helping us do that, giving us better health to continue the fight, and saving me days of time having to research on my own -- thanks!)
The focus will always be the written content, the AI generated podcast is just a easier way to bridge the complexity to laypeople, people short on time, or just a way to remind people of older articles that are incredibly complex.
I actually host a podcast on AI, specifically focussed on the human and social impacts of AI. We recently did an epsiode where we ‘re-recorded’ two epsiodes by putting the transcripts into Notebook LM and then put out the new (much shorter) versions. It doesn’t work well for that (currently), it’s just too vanilla. But what you have used it here for, as an alternative way to ‘read’ an article is much better than replacing an actual podcast where much of the value is from the interaction. Having said that I would personally prefer to just have a narration of your articles because what I pay to subscribe to is what you say not an interpretation of it. But give it 6 months and there will be a tool which does this much better. This was only meant to be an add on feature to Notebook LM, it’s actually designed to just be a better LLM for analysing data and helping you work with texts and papers
I decided to test as a way to bridge the gap, asked a close friend who I trust what that person thought about it, and decided to see th eresponses from a broader audience. As a way to bridge the gap and making extremely complex topics easier to digest for the layperson, I found it quite decent.
I think the Substack app has, or at least had a narration tool built-in so you could automatically listen to the content of any article, at least I saw it a few times in my own articles (without my inpunt).
I wouldn't do an actual podcast because I hate my accent above all else lmao
About an hour after I commented I saw that Google have updated Notebook LM so that you can now have some level of control over the focus of the podcast/audio summary. Doesn’t get rid of the annoying voices but means you can at least tweak the content and focus on the areas you want it to focus on. I put in one of our 1hr 20min oodcasts and it summarises to 12 minutes! Not sure if that says more about its limitations or how much of our podcast is waffling!
Sitting with it i find it disturbing. We cant trust anything. Even citations may be faked. Or the science itself uses AI to generate papers. Moriarty, John Paul, something Pham can also be just an AI generated persona. This technology leads us to authority. And they know it, which is exemplified in how policy is created to support this paradigm ( mis dis mal information). While the technology is exciting and novel the impacts to humanity are profound to consider. What utility does human life have? Ww know in the west how much more advantageous it is to use automation. Consider what a big excavator can do at a fraction of the costs. Having children its troubling and thinking about how to prepare them i can only think that spiritual capacity is nevessary
You need to make sure children learn to use these tools, these skills, because they will be "mundane", "necessary" to the modern world, to the future. What using the internet is today, AI will be tomorrow, children will be used to having every single system they interact with being smarter than they are.
There is HUGE upside to this technology, but of course, there is also the downside, the autoritharian side.
You are not the first person in the last 3 years to assume I am some sort of AI, even if jokingly =P lol
The thing is that this tech does not at all seem complex in way of user interface. It’s back end is more complex. It’s seems to look like our children will more likely be subjected to it , rather then have to be skilled with it. If anything I think real life experience and real human innovations mind is where the difference is. Cause the Ai stacks only on records , plagerism really. My sense is that my kids need to learn to live and leverage living in rural places and with robots. Cause it seems living outside cities will be the privilege of the future.
I was thinking future jobs would be more like the way military run those bunkers for drones . People running farming mining drones from home. But it’s now more likely that AI will do that as well. Does not look good for people as they become redundant. Reducing and eliminating risk associated with redundant workers seems to be a priority of the bear future. Either send them to the front lines or die in icu with a pathogen
Lol, an AI podcast . That is convenient. I would be happy if it just read through stuff. Will check it out. Thanks
The AC i assume will only bind to things in the gut right. Like its not getting absorbed into the body? So i would assume its affects are limited. But considering the entero nature of the virus , that i think you covered, it may have affects similar to ivermectin.
Activated carbon is cheap and anyone can make it. Pyrolysis. I would be curious what carbon source is best for consumable. Like maybe grain husks
Yes it only binds to things in your gut, mostly, but given what I have observed, and the research and clinical evidence so far, taking this precaution can limit the long-term (months) consequences of "mild" infections, because I know, for a fact, Omicron infections are slowly thining the gut lining.
So you are preveing both that, lowering the inflammatory response, negating any potential immune cell infiltration and especially sucking up all the toxins that the virus can potentially set off. Win-Win situation for many of us. =D
I do agree with Perplexed Rationalist's vanilla descriptive. It had the kind of delivery you'd expect for middle or early high school. The material was presented clearly and I do like listening these days. I'm not sure we need the interview format; it's kind of irritating since we it's an AI conversation and they aren't real.
The info was great, as always. I'm seeing the effects of it all in hubs and I suspect the microthrombi are in full swing. He's getting worse and labs are always slightly higher or lower, largely neutrophils and lymphocytes and platelets, but not enough for concern.
Thank you =) I am glad most people enjoyed it, I think it is a decent way to bridge the gap.
I think it is perplexing (no pun intended) your second paragraph not only aligns with the article, but the overall trend, and with e-mails and messages from other people, especially the second part "Labs are worse, higher or lower". Seeing this trend at large and very few healthcare workers are picking it up, because "slightly elevation is almost within range"...
I know after I had Covid 3 times in a month, from shedding I had blood work and my kidney function had significantly decreased. I am a transplant recipient so I have blood work every 3 months. It's been 2 years and I haven't recovered.
Recovering from kidney damage is tricky, it takes long, and being a transplant recipient makes things harder, you need to limit your exposure and especially inflammatory response when you get sick, to avoid potentially developing any of the mechanisms here.
But need to be careful because of the transplant, very delicate sitaution. Wishing you the best.
Moriarty, my first reaction to this article was that maybe I should invest in dialysis companies (a bit of cynicism there), and then I simply felt appalled to find yet another avenue of long term damage from C19. And then you said this: "I know, for a fact, Omicron infections are slowly thinning the gut lining." Sheesh, when do we reach the end of the list of this virus and protein's bad long term effects?
I have heard that tribulus terrestris herb may actually help the kidneys repair themselves to some degree. I'd be interested to hear if you know anything about that herb and what it can do. Kidneys are so critical to a long healthy life that finding one or more ways to actually stimulate the kidneys to heal would be quite a help to a lot of people. Any peptides able to help the kidneys repair?
Blows my mind hearing the podcast. I listen to podcasts a lot while i would and drive long distances. The thought if you running a podvast gets me excited. I dont miss a post of yours as it is. I am half way through and my kids get anxious with such podcasts they cant keep up with.
Now if you can get AOC to do the podcast i would really be impressed.
Mental clarity is a result of a well hydrated brain. Salt plus water brings hydration. Any time you are feeling stressed and fatigued, test this out and gain first hand experience. A pinch of salt, dissolve under the tongue and a sip of water. Notice the return of calm and clear thinking. Perspective and compassion return.
You may find my article: How does salt restriction lead to heart dis-ease and fear based reactionary thinking? of value.
I link the adrenals with dehydration. Dehydration or low salt are the same condition. Hyponatremia is an emergency. All emergencies are managed by the adrenals. All the adrenocorticol hormones are deployed. Chronic dehydration leads to chronic adrenal management. This becomes adrenal fatigue or chronic fatigue.
Fatigue, anxiety and depression result.
Salt is your way back to health.
Salt brings moisture with it, into and out of the body.
Salt plus water equals hydration. Hydration is a dynamic process and as WILT occurs noticing the symptoms helps remind one to take salt plus water. Eg a headache is not a prompt to take a pHARMa pill, it’s a sign of dehydration.
Hydration not oxygenation underpins our physiology. Zero oxygen required.
We breathe air not oxygen is the article I logically dismiss the gaseous exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide as a FRAUD. We are not using DRY gases of combustion and exhaust. Knowing the difference between air and oxygen is paramount.
I tip over a few sacred cows, curiosity is your way through.
Read your article first. Then searched for HMGB1 image (such a small protein). Then listened to the podcast. Like it and the fact that I can speed it up 2x. Thank you. Lastly, remembering Dr. Andreas Noack, rip.

The focus will always be writing, 100%. The audios miss A LOT of the nuance, important stuff. Just a way to bridge the gaps, focus in on writing:)

Living outside is already a privilege. In Europe I would argue there's not even any place really outside anymore...
