An interesting concept but I never felt like I was listening to a conversation between two people. Jobs sounds weirdly far away, he also was never a &amp;quot;fast talker&amp;quot;. Listen to his interview at MIT where he takes questions. He always stopped for long pauses, stares off into space for a minute. He didn&amp;#x27;t rush into responses and tended to nail timing really well.&lt;p&gt;Rogan sounds more believable but I suspect you&amp;#x27;d get the same results sitting down at Audacity and cutting together an MP3. You just have better quality samples of him talking to people in a podcast setting.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s an interesting demo but I&amp;#x27;m not sure why I would want this to exist. It seems like technology which you could only abuse, either through the generation of podcast spam or through the production of fake audio. Podcasts are legion and are already cheap to make and based on open standards.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>wwweston</author><text>&amp;quot;What bothers me is, nothing does.&amp;quot; - Dixie Flatline in William Gibson&amp;#x27;s _Neuromancer_, 1984&lt;p&gt;Wonder if Jobs had read that by 1985.</text></comment>

We just made a version of GPT3 finetuned on the complete works of Plato. It produced some solid new dialogues. About, for instance, the relationship between beauty and the good.</text></comment>
