I like to imagine the male voice is Jon Hamm from mad men and the female voice is Amy Poehler from parks and rec.

God, this is so weird. Two people earnestly engaged in discussing your resume. It's such a juxtaposition of the trappings of an interesting podcast on just random, boring material. I think this is uncanny valley for me in a way I haven't experienced before.

  > I think this is uncanny valley for me in a way I haven't experienced before. It has some of this quality. But it's just a super positive spin on the most mundane of topics. There is an emotional play here that you would not normally see in a "resume". It's like the wrong emotional subcarrier on the topic that is jaring...

    This is my experience too. At first it sounds legit, but it is very superficial and lacks context. I fed it a fe papers on stack computers and they had a riveting discussion on how they would be the next big thing. But it lacks any insight, not even a rehashed conclusion, and doesn’t really seem to integrate the knowledge

      GPTs are, in effect, rather powerful templating engines. It's fascinating. This tech can extract a template for a typical podcast, extrapolate from a mundane CV, plug that to the template and produce a podcast script that your typical copywriter would. > But it lacks any insight, not even a rehashed conclusion, and doesn’t really seem to integrate the knowledge Is it the GPT that is lacking here or the source material it learned on converges to this?

        You can’t gain insight by finding the most statistically likely next token. The whole point of grand innovations is that they took years of focus on something not very likely. Like the iPhone. In the 90s could you imagine electronics that literally everyone had in their pocket with _almost no buttons_. Or in the 70s, could u imagine everyone having their own personal computer? Even in star trek, communicators had buttons.

      Ironically that could describe a lot of talk-show podcasts these days.

"That's powerful. That's Masto." "You gotta be good. You gotta be top notch." "It's like he knew what every team needs before he even applied." Man, oh man. Comedy gold.

  Why? Not trying to be rude, I don't see the comedy here
  - collingreen 2y ago
    It's an absurd way to talk about a very mundane topic. The comedy is in how disproportionate the reaction is.

        yes, it is

        It's a cultural difference. As a foreigner, the American way of exaggerating everything has always amazed me. They don't even notice themselves, so expect more of these "what's odd about it?" reactions.

        we have the best overreactions, perhaps the greatest exaggerations in history, you've never seen overreactions like these folks, trust me.

I didn't know I needed this. The energy is so so funny. "Talk about communication skills!"

Oh man, this completely ruins every podcast for me. It’s so good. I’d honestly listen to them talk about your career for 5 episodes lmao

  It's funny because something about the dialog style reminds me strongly of RadioLab, which I haven't listened to in years.

Did the same – added CV, blog & Linkedin – and their gushing review was even more supportive than my mom!

I would 100% hire you now. There's something about the social proof of 2 people vehemently singing your praises and reinforcing each other that sells it!!
