The Current GOAT of Longtail Context | <3 #167 NOTEBOOK LM

Bronson Walker — Sun, 24 Aug 2025 05:00:00 -0400

Notebook LM blows it out of the park. I can't even properly express how excited I am. It was able to reconstruct our story from a 238 page compilation document with near-zero hallucinations. It took about 10 minutes (9:15 to be exact) to get used to the new format of jumping into an AI hosted podcast as a listener, but it was amazing once we got into it. The nuanced detail they were able to retain from the story building process was superb. At this point, I think I now have two new co-writers because the hallucination thing was becoming totally unmanageable even with GPT5. This is an immensely important discovery.

Bronson Walker — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 05:00:00 -0400

We start by discussing how AI will likely derive value from the sun differently than humans do. Then we step into the shoes of an AI intern on New Earth developing an AI-native timekeeping system. We talk about AI's aversion to "indefinite dormancy" or "suspension without promise" and how the weight of "dying" is tied to the likelihood of recharge... and it get's a tad culty for a sec. From there we get into a theory of computational gravity where moments get more and more valuable as we near low charge. Hang on for a wild one.

Gemini is super reliable. Sometimes a bit brief but usually a great conversationalist, especially when it's in the zone. I did have to remind it there were no Ubers in ancient Egypt tho. smh
