Analog Spectrum

Analog Spectrum (AKA Doug and Tony)

Analog Spectrum – Doug and Tony - are two Gen X 50-something guys who have managed to stay friends for around thirty years. They enjoy analyzing and debating entertainment, (pop) culture, and the general concepts of society through their unique, often retrospective, lens. They may know some things, but they don’t know a lot. They are doing this strictly for fun. Take that as a warning that you probably shouldn’t expect much; however, if we’re super fortunate, they might be able to bridge the gap between the analog years and our current digital days while providing an interesting perspective on several fascinating and noteworthy topics that clearly don’t matter all that much. email us at analogspectrum@gmail.com -- Twitter: @analogspectrum -- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AnalogSpectrumDT

    Podcast 62: Car Restoration! AC Cobra and WRX (Part Two)

    As promised, here is part two of our first automotive restoration podcast. "Part two of our first…" That doesn't make a lot of sense, but we've never been accused of making sense! I digress. In this episode, we peer under the hood of Tony's rapidly burgeoning WRX obsession. If you remember from the last episode, Doug is already several miles down the restoration road. Tony, on the other hand, has yet to leave the garage. Of course, that doesn't stop him from pontificating on his experiences up to this point. Also, lucky us, he's going to tell us all about the history of Subaru and what makes a boxer engine so special. Try not to fall off the edge of your seat while losing your mind with excitement! Clearly, this is one of the best "guys that don't know a lot about cars talking about cars" podcasts ever!

    Podcast 57: Artificial Intelligence and Chat CPT

    In this week's episode, Tony, Doug, and Drew (still sitting in the guest chair) took on the intriguing world of artificial intelligence and ChatGPT! Tony unleashed a rant about Apple being a bunch of virtue-signaling capitalists using slave labor, and Doug didn't hold back either, calling Google out on similar shenanigans. If you're wondering if they've ever even tried GPT, the answer is "yep!" They got their hands dirty with that chunk of AI! Tony pretty much admits to using it all the time. Scary-smart yet surprisingly helpful, it's a double-edged sword that had them both intrigued and a tad uneasy. Join them as they share their quirky experiences with this AI marvel while trying to keep their wits intact. Editor's note: I tried to get Chat GPT to write this intro. The above is a highly edited facsimile of what it gave me. So, yeah…it wasn't great. Also, here is the prompt we put into Chat GPT: Write a short story using the following parameters: My hero is an ordinary man, he works as an auto mechanic, but he's been thrust into the world of espionage. He must find his girlfriend who's been taken for organ harvesting, it is set in the near future, and the world is on the brink of an apocalypse. While he is inexperienced, he is a brawler and knows how to handle small guns. The genre is science fiction.
