Two New Projects – PhilosophersTalk.com and AITalkerApp.com
In the past month I have released my two newest side projects into the wild – PhilosophersTalk.com and AITalkerApp.com.
I had the idea for AITalkerApp.com after speaking with a client about how to use all of their content. They had endless transcripts, but what to do with them? I had the idea of creating animated conversations with them – and lo – AITalkerApp.com was born. There is something magical about the way the conversational back and forth form that greatly appeals to me, and to many people.
So, after much research, and trial and error, I created AITalkerApp.com – you can take a picture, record your voice, paste in a script and have video creation in less than 5 minutes.
After that I needed a first client, and a test subject – I decided to become both by having ancient philosophers, mostly of the political theory persuasion, so far debate the issues of the day. So via various AI tools I have it read all of their published works, formulate debate positions and let them have it. It’s been very fun and informative so far – check it out!

Utah Phillips quote applicable to social media
Relates to Social Media and non-deliberate attention in general. I think the original quote is much longer, but I couldn’t find that online. From here.
But if it’s true that the only true life I had was the life of my brain, what sense does it make to hand that brain to somebody for eight hours a day for their particular use on the presumption that, at the end of the day, they will give it back in an unmutilated condition? Fat chance!

The Tree
For some reason this is displaying the photos in the reverse order – it starts when the tree is finally cut down and ends with it before the tree guys started work. The tree was apparently 187 years old. I’ll post my chat gpt conversation about it soon. You can see the rot in the stump.

More thoughts on the 2024 election – personality goes a long way with the internet invisible
It seems that with the current wealth of data available on the country at large and demographic groups in particular, the electorate is actually getting less legible, particularly the not as online parts of the electorate. This advantages a more instinctive, intuitive style of politics, i.e. Trump. The side that relies more on quantitative data will be further away from the voter’s concerns than the side that goes with their gut, particularly when the “insiders” however defined are not as representative of the electorate as they think.
The other factor in play is the sheer amount of personality in the candidates. Trump was full of quirks, weaknesses, foibles, immorality and who knows what else. Harris was full of…. something? Maybe? Stage management? That seems to be what modern politics selects for (a la Mitt Romney) which advantages a colorful non political candidate from outside traditional politics who can take over an established party.
Up next – thoughts on issue bundling!
