Here's a potentially good use for AI. Fuzzy searching. Remember when Curry and The Keeper was hard to find in the Index because it was Curry & The Keeper? A fuzzy search would totally fix that, and AI may be able to autocorrect the query or send multiple potential queries to the Index to hopefully get the right podcast back in the search results.

I think there are a lot of improvements that could be made just to the API itself, even before AI is brought in. Elastic search would s...

I'm brainstorming something. For chapters, it's tied to a timestamp, which is cool, but the same idea can be modified so it's not tied to a timestamp and you have swipable photos, sort of like IG. So you could be listening to a photographer telling a story about their photoshoot and you're swiping on the photos, but if there's one you want to spend more time on, you don't have a timestamp auto changing the photo.

Maybe my algorithm knows what I'm interested in right now, maybe it's the current zeitgeist, I'm not sure. I've been seeing more and more stuff talking about quitting social media because it's changed from a feed of people and interest you followed to an algorithm that pushes content on you.

Somehow, I think decentralization and RSS feeds is the best solution to this for most media; blogs, podcasts, reels, video...

I tend to use my personal chatGPT or Gemini, or both. I find each has strengths and weaknesses, so depending on how in depth I'm going, will switch up. I'm doing the $20 per month chatGPT plan, and free Gemini. Most of my guys use chatGPT, but aren't super technical dudes. As a company, the guys using it for BIM/VDC prefer Claude, and are paying for an advanced model, but I don't know how much they're spending.

As an electrician, this is partially true. We do use it to help us understand a detail of a installation that may be unfamiliar. I recently used it because I was looking at a detail for some cathodic protection I was unfamiliar with, and asked it to explain it to me. It definitely is useful for broadly understanding concepts and asking follow-up questions.

For specifics, like calculating wire sizing or transformer sizing, it's still wrong often enough that I don't trust it.

I don't remember how many sats I've made. I'll always remember being part of the first liveItem show with Dave's appearance on Bowl after Bowl or Adam's first 'pirate radio' precursor to Boostagram Ball with Boost-In song requests. Those moments of community coming together to co-create are the most memorable for me.

Reflecting on the last few years of podcasting, the innovations that have excited me the most were liveItem and boostagrams. I think it's because of the ability to turn the listeners into participants, to make a show interactive, to create a community. It turned podcasting from a consumption of content into a co-creation and comradery.

I've been thinking about podcasting, AI, and algorithms. I can definitely see the appeal of an app using AI to create a custom feed. It's what the algorithms do, and I'll be honest, I like when the algorithm introduces me to something I love but otherwise wouldn't have been aware of.

But, part of me also likes not having an algorithm, having to be conscious of my decisions, be aware of what I'm choosing to listen to. Right now, the nature of podcasting still maintains that.

None of this is to say I dislike AI. I worry about what it will do to us, our ability to think new thoughts, our ability to trust ourselves. Like McLuhan says "The medium is the message." and I worry how this medium will change our minds. But I use AI every day, it's helped me learn new things, it's helped me quickly iterate ideas, it does grunt work for me, but I've also seen how it 'dumbs' some of my guys down, especially my junior guys, and I too have concerns.
