why are you forced to listen to "random" podcasts vs podcasts by people you trust? This argument is so dishonest its infuriating.

  Trust is not a rational behavior, nor is it indicative of reliability of fact.

    Sure but that doesn't make it "random" . I don't get why top comment was listening to podcasts knowing full well that you will be given possibly inaccurate facts. I have hard time accepting that podcasts are audible wikipedia, such a strange take is top voted comment.

      I listen to podcasts; they’re fun! But I am comfortable operating with incomplete information, and thus know how to treat a low quality source. I also chat with LLMs to better understand topics, and am better off than the folks here who can’t do that as a result. The main thing I’m getting from this discussion is that a lot more very smart people seem to have deluded themselves into thinking knowledge is objective or “locked in” than I had initially realized. The desire for certainty is an extremely human thing, but it’s a dead end, intellectually.

        yea exactly "chatgpt replaced my podcasts" is kind of silly. People don't listen to joe rogan experience to learn facts about how particular jiu jitsu choke works. I don't know what kind of podcasts op replaced with chatgpt but i call BS .
