    Baked and Awake
    Episode 124- Baked GPT
    2.16.2023
     
    In this episode, I relate a story written by Chat GPT based on a prompt I constructed for it.  I’ve included a link to the full, unedited transcript of the conversation here in the show notes. I made this episode because I believe this technology is the next big disruption and the first one in a while.  This directly relates back to many conversations we have already had on the podcast about the interesting and terrifying technology known as Deepfakes. Join me as I learn all I can about the rapidly evolving landscape of AI Conversational Models, AI Powered Art tools, and more.

    Steampunk Gasifier Technology and Living Inside Giant Trees

    Episode 123
    SMOKE RESPONSIBLY MY DUDES



    Intro
    Welcome back, it's been a while, but we’re back together again. Consider this a test to weed out all the fair weather listeners- if you’re still here, you passed the trial! There will be cake served at the end of this podcast for all. Now, I’ve been keeping busy as I’m sure you all have in your own subjectively protagonistic worlds. Everyone in my family and circle as far as I know, is doing pretty well, certainly nothing to report or to complain about. I trust and hope that wherever you are listening to this right now, you are well. Well enough anyway to take a little time to sit for a few moments with me while I tell you a couple of stories That I found interesting. Maybe join me for a puff, maybe don’t. Both states of being are compatible with the vibe here on Baked and Awake. If you’re listening here on Youtube, smash that like button, subscribe and share the channel, and be kind to each other in the comments section, where I hope to hear your thoughts on anything I talk about during this episode. Watch/listen till the end for me to really help my retention numbers and as a result, become more visible to new listeners through the all powerful algorithm. Algorithms? Is it one, or more?  Nevermind but that might be foreshadowing… 
     
    First up today I want to more or less introduce a topic that I really was only ever dimly aware of- a technology semi lost to history, but from the not very distant past as I see it.  That technology is something out of a steampunk novel or fantasy film, or so I kind of thought, until I stumbled on a video where else but on YouTube (love it or hate it YT has the most content anywhere- don’t @ me). The subject I’m talking about is called Transport Gasifier technology. In short, cars, trucks, trains and boats/ships running on biomass fuels.  Wood Powered vehicles. Coal, Charcoal, Wood Pellets, Even garbage (picturing the Doc stuffing rotten banana peels into the delorean’s flux capacitor or whatever it was at the beginning?ending of Back to the future II before flying off into space time once again…)  
     
    -Gasifier Transport Technology
    How Gasification Works
    A treasure of a forum post about wood powered motorcycles
    A hundred years of wood powered vehicles GenGaz Lagunov, Excellent YT Subject matter expert on Gasifier tech.
    -My Side of the Mountain and the American Mythology Channel YT. Check out that channel and tell me “They lived in hollow trees”  doesn’t give you warm fuzzy feelings as you remember the first time you ever watched the “No Trees on Flat Earth” video… Comment your thoughts down below if you’re listening on Youtube, 
    -Do already ubiquitous AI’s like Chat GPT pose an existential threat? Should we experiment with it here on the Podcast? Hah, too late! Does all this eventually circle back around to our prior discussions about Deepfake videos? 
    -Side note: There was a Recent attack on US power Grid in OR, WA, and North Carolina 
    - What early episodes to remaster for better audio?  Suggestions?  I’m thinking about the Norb Theory and Mel’s Hole, Possibly Maury Island to start..

Found by chance

I literally found you guys from YouTube watching Norb theory and searching podcasts about Norb. Y’all said your website and I was like “wait I know that name” sure enough was the only podcast that showed up for Norb. Cool :) just thought I’d share. Love your podcast as well!

JEFFARGH ,

what a ride

listening to steve reminds me a little of an audiobook, except in addition to the core content, which is thru an informed, intersectional lense, listeners also find insights into home farm and local legislature. plus the smoke-along with spacetrip tunes is pretty unparalleled accompaniment to the subject at hand - which - as far flung as conspiracy may be - steve is no flat-earther. 5/5 find the pod on patreon 😎

My guy Steve over here bring the heavy hitters with little to no lung butter.
Relaxed and enjoyable.
